What terminal are you using? Also, can you attach your configuration? There's no "default" config because the interactive prompt will generate the config on the first run.

Alacritty

I cannot reproduce this bug in Alacritty, also on Arch.

Please provide more details:

1. Screenshot of full hyfetch/neofetch output
2. Hyfetch version (hyfetch --version)

I see the same issue on macOS with the built in Terminal.app, hyfetch version is 1.4.11

This is expected. The macOS built-in terminal does not support ANSI TrueColor (RGB) and only supports 16 colors. Please download a better terminal e.g. iTerm2 if you're using macOS.

iTerm2 has atrocious throughput and latency, you can read about it here: https://www.lkhrs.com/blog/2022/07/terminal-latency/ Plus its very crashy, I REALLY wouldn't call it a better terminal. "Far worse", sure, "terrible" yeah, but not "better".

Okay right. Anyway just choose one that you find is better and supports colors, there're plenty for the macOS platform. kitty and alacrity are also very good terminals if you want high throughput, but I didn't recommend them because of their lack of essential features that average users expect (e.g. tabs for alacrity)

I'm going to close this issue now. The original reporter @LazyBev did not include the necessary details for me to reproduce the issue. But I will look into it when more detail is available.
