  • check blink and bright settings

    some terminals treat blink and bright colors differently, which can change how your art looks. preview screens with both settings so you know what callers will see. if a color combination looks harsh in one mode, adjust it. small tweaks avoid unreadable text

    yes i think so. ive viewed ansis from the past that have them embedded, so you'd have to re-write them i guess. i've accidentally had them in my ansis flashing annoyingly

    Yes, I had a "nobody" make ansis for me once and they used ice colors, which ruined the whole purchase.
