Hello,

I read in styles.go that the default background was black... but when running the presentation code, i was faced with a very bright color that makes the text unreadable. My terminal's theme is dark by default so i am not totally sure if this is caused by my zsh configs or if the library has a bug somewhere.

Please advise.

To be honest, I don't know how the colours interact with any terminal themes or shell configs. I'm using the colours as provided by tcell. If shells or terminals modify those colours and how they do that may be a question that the tcell maintainer can answer for you.

When executing TERM=xterm-truecolor ./presentation, colors are much better. So i guess it might be related to my TERM setting being term-256color
