Invisible channels

[wei2912]

When I load up my theme with the following config:

settings = {
  core = {
    real_name = "Ng Wei En";
    user_name = "wei2912";
    nick = "wei2912";
  };
  "fe-text" = { actlist_sort = "refnum"; };
  "perl/core/scripts" = {
    awl_shared_sbar = "OFF";
    awl_viewer = "no";

    ### For Solarized adv_windowlist.pl script
    awl_display_key_active = "%k%2[$Q=$N:$C]%n";
    awl_display_nokey_active = "%k%2[$N:$C]%n";
    awl_display_key = "[$Q:$H$C$S]";
    awl_display_nokey = "[$N:$H$C$S]";

    ### For Solarized trackbar.pl script
    trackbar_style = "%B";
  };
  "fe-common/core" = {
    autolog = "yes";

    # Solarized
    theme = "solarized-universal";
    hilight_color = "= %R";
  };
};

        awl_0 = { };
        barend = { priority = "100"; alignment = "right"; };
      };
    };
  };
  items = {

    more = "%k%3-- more --%n";
  };
};

The channel list contains a few invisible channels, as seen here:

How could this be fixed?

I experience this as well. It seems that the coloring in that bar is different for us than in the screenshots in the README.
I see:

We see the colors tan, red, black, and white. The README shows colors tan, blue, black, and green.

I can't figure out why that difference exists.
