Theme not working correctly in MacOS terminal with zsh

Open P-Verbrugge opened this issue 9 months ago • 3 comments

I noticed that the color scheme is not working properly. The prompt does not change color when MacOS terminal is set to default ZSH. When you change it to the use of bash, the colors work.

I'd have to dig them up and don't have time right now: there are several issues in dracula/terminal.app explaining this.

The terminal theme changes the terminal's palette. Nothing else. If you don't do something that uses the terminal's 16-color palette (like use color in your prompt), than there's no color and nothing should change.

See https://jvns.ca/blog/2024/10/01/terminal-colours/ and more from the same site about terminals, escape codes, and so forth, for an especially beginner-friendly explanation :)
