Switch from the brutalist approach to a prettier ones. If someone likes the old brutalist theme, it's still available as contrib/brutalist.config: $ cp contrib/brutalist.config ~/.telescope/config or $ telescope -c contrib/brutalist

as Gnuserland pointed out, it's and old thing taken from the web, used to distinguish between normal text and links. In Gemini we only have link-lines, so the underline is redundant. It's still possible to restore the styling by adding something like the following in ~/.telescope/config style line.link attr underline

As suggested by Gnuserland, thanks!

cyan is cool, but only if the text is black. On dark terminals, where COLOR_DEFAULT is white for the foreground, using a cyan background is hard to read. Users can always drop something like the following to their configuration file style line.compl.current bg cyan
