Transparency on leading and trailing diamonds not working

What happened?

I'm using Oh My Posh v6.44.1 7.5.1 (just tried this with the latest version and the issue still persists), Windows Terminal, and Powershell. The issue occurs in both Powershell v5 and v7. I followed this tutorial.

The triangles circled in red in the image below should not appear; those areas should be transparent. The first theme is night-owl and the second is clean-detailed.

It looks like there might be two things happening, though take this with a grain of salt. First, it's failing to apply transparent to leading and trailing diamonds, and rather uses the colour value of the foreground attribute.

Second, it looks like there's an error in the night-owl theme where the trailing diamond has the wrong second colour value for the java block. Instead of "trailing_diamond": "<transparent,#0e8ac8>\uE0B2</>",, it should be "trailing_diamond": "<transparent,#ffffff>\uE0B2</>",. This would make it consistent with all the other blocks, where the second colour values for the leading and trailing diamonds are the same as the colour values of the background attributes.

Theme

I'm using night-owl, but the same issue persists no matter what the theme is.

@Victoria-DR thanks for the detailed analysis. Unfortunately, this is a bug in Windows Terminal. They've been holding back a fix for quite a while now.

The Java segment indeed seems to have a glitch in the theme. You can file a PR for that or I can check it.

[Victoria-DR]

Thanks for letting me know, hopefully they'll fix it soon. I just submitted a PR for the Java segment.
