colors not working on WSL+Ubuntu 18.04+Hyper terminal #1177

Open ghost opened 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

So I have Installed Ubuntu on my Windows 10 PC using WSL. I also have installed ZSH version 5.4.2 via apt. I also have successfully installed O-M-Z and powerlevel9k using their recommended install procedures.

It's working well EXCEPT that no matter what I do, the foreground/background colors seems to be limited/stuck.

  1. I have the background color for context to darkorange and foreground color to white. But all I get is black text on yellow background.
  2. I have also change the vcs color to black text in a white background but it's black text in a yellow background.

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks

Did you change the settings before you source the prompt or after? All settings need to be done before sourcing

The context segment is a stateful one. So just setting POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_BACKGROUND=red won't work. You have to define for which status you want to change the color. See our documentation for how to customize stateful segments.

not sure what you meant but I tried:

  1. restarting hyper
  2. open a new tab to load latest .zshrc
  3. run source ~/.zshrc

I never needed to use states when I tried on OSX High Sierra+Homebrew. I'll try your suggestion. Thanks

edit1: Correction to what I said above. I was using the DEFAULT state for context and instead of showing darkorange, it's using yellow.

POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_DEFAULT_BACKGROUND="darkorange" POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_DEFAULT_FOREGROUND="black" POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_TEMPLATE="%n"
