I've noticed urwid looks strange since I've started using "kitty" terminal. kitty comes with its own custom termaps, and so it's necessary to set TERM=kitty. In urwid, rather than using termap, they use a simple "not xterm" heuristic for their "bright is bold" flag. This results in a random half of all syntax becoming bold.

Could we call set_terminal_properties(bright_is_bold=False) during startup? If you want to get fancy we could determine this boolean via termcap (as urwid should have done).
I use kitty as well, and I've never noticed anything looking off.
- What's the chance of
set_terminal_properties(bright_is_bold=False)breaking something else? - Do you have a sense what the correct termcap query might look like?
