I can't make the theme colors appears on my ghostty terminal

[racastellanosm]

Description

For some reason (maybe is my inexperience) In a fresh installation of the Ghostty in MacOS i can't make the theme and colors works correctly.

Steps

• Install Ghostty from homebrew
• Create a $HOME/.config/ghostty/config file
• Set the theme to Afterglow
• Reload Configuration & Quit/Reopen application again.

Terminal seems to apply the theme but no other color more than white is showing in the terminal.

Configuration file

# Theme & Shell
shell-integration = zsh
theme = Afterglow


# Font
font-family = "JetBrains Mono Light"
font-thicken = true
font-feature = liga, calt, dlig

# Cell
adjust-cell-height = 35%
adjust-cell-width = 15%

Whit that configuration my terminal stills look like this (doesn't show more colors than the white)👇

Misc

Before install ghostty i uninstalled oh-my-zsh + pk10 theme from my system.

Maybe i missing something or maybe i need to use ghostty + pk10 theme to get something similar to oh-my-zsh + pk10?

Thanks for your help.

I don't know why you closed this, but Ghostty's configuration only defines what the colours should be, not where the colours should show up.

If you want your prompt to be coloured and stuff, you should reinstall it because that's what tells Ghostty where to put the colour.

As for nano/pico/whatever the application on the right side is, it doesn't ask Ghostty to use colours and I'm not sure if it's possible to make it do so either. Consider using Micro if you're open to editor suggestions.
