Fixes #5391, #5392 - Add Terminal.Gui.Interop.Spectre with SpectreView and style bridge by Copilot · Pull Request #5393 · gui-cs/Terminal.Gui

Copilot · 2026-05-24T00:16:42Z

Summary

Adds Terminal.Gui.Interop.Spectre — a separate assembly that bridges Spectre.Console rendering into Terminal.Gui applications.

Fixes #5391 — Style/Color conversion bridge
Fixes #5392 — SpectreView for rendering any IRenderable

What's Included

`SpectreView : View`

A read-only View that renders any Spectre.Console IRenderable:

// Render a Spectre Table
spectreView.Renderable = new Table ().AddColumn ("Name").AddRow ("Alice");

// Render Spectre Markup (Markup implements IRenderable)
spectreView.Renderable = new Markup ("[bold red]Hello[/] [green]World[/]");

`SpectreMarkupBridge`

Bidirectional style conversion:

Style.ToAttribute() — Spectre → TG (colors + decorations)
Attribute.ToSpectreStyle() — TG → Spectre (round-trip safe)

UICatalog Scenario

"Spectre" scenario demonstrating Table, Panel, Rule, Tree, BarChart, Calendar, FigletText, and Markup rendering.

Architecture

Separate assembly (Terminal.Gui.Interop.Spectre) — no Spectre dependency in core TG
AOT-compatible, trimmable
NuGet package: Terminal.Gui.Interop.Spectre
Added to Terminal.sln

Tests

10 tests covering: style conversion, reverse conversion, round-trip, default/none colors, Markup rendering, Table/Panel/Rule/Tree/BarChart/FigletText, re-render on change, DimAuto content sizing, integration with Window.
