The crate provides a set of optional features that can be enabled in your cargo.toml file.

By default, we enable the crossterm backend as this is a reasonable choice for most applications as it is supported on Linux/Mac/Windows systems. We also enable the underline-color feature which allows you to set the underline color of text.
