Plugins
No response
OpenCode version
1.14.19
Steps to reproduce
- set up wezterm.lua with the following config to color the terminal:
local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
local config = wezterm.config_builder()
-- "trad" color scheme, converted from iTerm2 trad.json
config.color_schemes = {
['trad'] = {
foreground = '#F4FFF7',
background = '#44406F',
cursor_bg = '#FFEE3E',
cursor_fg = '#000000',
cursor_border = '#FFEE3E',
selection_bg = '#9D7400',
selection_fg = '#E7EBED',
ansi = {
'#435B67', -- black (0)
'#FC3841', -- red (1)
'#5CF19E', -- green (2)
'#FED032', -- yellow (3)
'#37B6FF', -- blue (4)
'#FC226E', -- magenta (5)
'#59FFD1', -- cyan (6)
'#FFFFFF', -- white (7)
},
brights = {
'#A1B0B8', -- bright black (8)
'#FC746D', -- bright red (9)
'#ADF7BE', -- bright green (10)
'#FEE16C', -- bright yellow (11)
'#70CFFF', -- bright blue (12)
'#FC669B', -- bright magenta (13)
'#9AFFE6', -- bright cyan (14)
'#FFFFFF', -- bright white (15)
},
},
}
config.color_scheme = 'trad'
return config
- restart a window of wezterm, color background should be a darker blue.
- start opencode
- set theme to System
in prior versions, the blue backgroudn and coloring of wezterm would be seen still in opencode. Latest update now blocks all that out.

my opencode version 1.14.19 with theme "system" in Ghostty terminal themed "Borland" has the same issue, it doesn't show a blue bgcolor nor a light text color, and it makes the visual totally unusable. I have to change the opencode theme to another one to see clear the tui.

I had the same issue with white color inside opencode opened with ghostty

Same issue here in Ghostty with 1.14.19, with or without Tmux. Was previously working.

I can corroborate this. Right is terminal and how it's supposed to look like with the brown background; middle is opencode with theme set to system. If I switch to another theme and back to system, it gets a purple background or some variant of it resembling my periwinkle accent colors.

For me, system theme transparency is also broken when running Opencode inside Alacritty + Tmux on version 1.14.x.
With the lucent-orng theme (and others), the background becomes solid/opaque instead of showing the terminal's system theme.
It was working fine in previous versions, eg. 1.4.11.

there is no system theme for me... did this get removed on mac?
jwkicklighter commentedon Apr 23, 2026
It's working correctly for me on Mac both in Ghostty and in tmux within Ghostty. Version 1.14.21

@ktwbc i still don't have system theme in my chooser. i am on macOS and version: 1.18.19. I have to switch light dark theme mode every day back and forth because neovim does not forward osc 11 to my sidekick terminal. this would solve all issues regarding theme switching... is there anything i can do on my side? ty
