Neovide (Neovim GUI) Terminal Colors are not right

Issue: Theme Colors Not Applied in Terminal on Neovide

I'm encountering an issue where the color theme is not properly applied when using a terminal or terminal-like plugins (e.g., LazyGit) within a GUI, specifically Neovide.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install Neovide.
2. Set your color theme to NightOwl in neovim.
3. Open Neovide.
4. Use :term to open an embedded terminal.

Expected Behavior:

The terminal should display colors that match the selected theme (NightOwl in this case).

Actual Behavior:

The terminal colors do not match the selected theme, leading to inconsistencies between the terminal in Neovide and other terminals like Kitty.

Additional Information:

• OS: macOS Sonoma
• Terminal: Kitty
• Neovim Configuration: I'm using the NightOwl theme, which works as expected in standard Neovim and Kitty but not in Neovide.

It was suggested by a Neovide maintainer that this might be a theme issue. This could be related to the optional colors not being properly set from g:terminal_color_0 to g:terminal_color_15, as mentioned in the Neovim Manual.

Screenshots:

Here are some visual comparisons between the different terminals:

• Kitty:

• Neovide:

• Neovim:

Is there a way to ensure that the theme colors are correctly applied in Neovide's terminal?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Anybody to get an eye on this issue, or to guide me on how to fix it myself?

@ProHaller thanks for creating this issue! Seems like it's definitely on me, as I haven't really defined any of the g:terminal_color_x colors nor validated the theme on a GUI-based Neovim.

Just to make sure I understand the context correctly, could you add the steps to reproduce this on Neovide? 🙏🏼

Thank you very much for taking the time to look up this issue.

I edited my original message to be a little more explicit, tell me if I can do anything more.

Ps: I did the test with another GUI (Goneovim) to check and I find the same the same issue: the theme is only applied in the main interface, the terminal ignores it.
