Black prompt background and text color though ALIEN_THEME value is set #7

Closed paanvaannd closed 6 years ago

Though Alien is working fine on Ubuntu, both the prompt background and text are colored black though I have set ALIEN_THEME=blue in .zshrc.

Alien's prompt is colored as it should be.

Plugin Manager: oh-my-zsh ZSH Version: zsh 5.4.2 (x86_64-apple-darwin6.7.0) Terminal emulator: iTerm2 v3.1.5 Report Terminal Type (an iTerm2 preference): xterm-256color

This behavior is experienced in both Terminal and iTerm2.

In iTerm2, going to the current profile's color settings and changing the ANSI color values for normal black changes the background and text color of the prompt and changing the value for bright black changes the color of the indicator on the line where I enter commands. The prompt text is set to the same value as the prompt background and changes with it, so the text is never visible unless highlighted.

Regardless of changing ALIEN_THEME's value, I end up with the same mix of a black prompt background and text. Everything else seems to be working just fine.

I am quite certain I installed Alien properly on my Mac just as I have on Ubuntu (no issues in Ubuntu) through the following method:

# Same results regardless of whether green, blue, or red theme is used
export ALIEN_THEME=blue
ZSH_THEME="alien/alien"

@paanvaannd Should be fixed now. Please let me know the result after updating the theme :)
