glop can suppress color output using the -C option, and automatically suppresses output when it detects a stdout is a pipe. I would ask for the option to allow forcing color, using --color=y (to be consistent with emerge --color=y). Without the option, for example, watch qlop -rt which is quite handy to monitor the ETA of a long build, will not result in nice, colorful output, which is quite sad. ;) I'm happy to provide a patch if you think merging it is less work, but I think this might be fairly trivial for someone already familiar with the codebase. Reproducible: Always
I actually wondered the same thing a while ago, we indeed need a global option to force colours.
