A comment on User power, not power users: htop and its design philosophy.

In my htop, user threads are not green. The only difference in the display is some text at the top telling me "414 thr". Is my setup messed up?

F2 -> Display options -> [x] Display threads in a different color

Very old htop versions do not distinguish threads by color.

You can delete ~/.config/htop/htoprc to reset it to default settings in case it's a misconfiguration.

It's the same for me on macOS (htop version 3.0.2). Threads aren't displayed with a different color and I also can't hide them.

Does htop on macOS even show threads?

I thought I was the only one who had never seen green threads.
