NvChad not showing colors correctly (mac os)

1.5k Views Asked by At

I've installed NvChad for NeoVim. Followed all instuctions as stated in docs and as I've seen on some youtube videos, but in my installation the colors look weird. Here is a short video of me trying to choose a theme:

As you can see, I'm not able to see all text with any of them. Something is always unreadable (title, breadcrumb, main text, etc.) Any ideas? Preferably without switching to iTerm2. I'm on Ventura 13.4.1 (22F82).

I expeced it to look like this:

As pointed out here by one of the main contributors, the Mac OS default terminal does not support true colors. When clicking the link, you can also find some alternatives (alacritty/wezterm/kitty) to using iTerm2 as well.
