Steps to reproduce
The confirmation dialog uses white text which is not visible on white background. This color cannot by changed by any Set-PSReadLineOption
or $PSStyle
variable. The [Y] Yes
uses light yellow which is barely visible (in fact never noticed it before taking screenshot) and everything else is completely white and therefore invisible to me.
I propose to add $PSStyle.Confirmation
options, preferably Primary/Selected/Default
, Other
, Help
and Text
.
Expected behavior
# As rendered
> mkdir test
> '' > test/test.txt
> del test
Confirm
The item at /home/dkaszews/Downloads/test has children and the Recurse parameter was not specified.
If you continue, all children will be removed with the item. Are you sure you want to continue?
[Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "Y"):
