Background doesn't change

[danielepolencic]

Hi there,
My Term stays white backgrounded, colors change, but not all,
only if I switch the theme in OS X Terminal Settings to another term,
then the theme switches to the text and terminal color of OS X choice.

anyone knows, why colors are not switched properly?

I deleted / reinstalled oh-my-zsh and deleted the term preferences, but nothing changed.

Thanks.

I am having the same issue. If anyone already has the answer to this, would be greatly appreciated.

Same issue here. OS X 10.7.4 new retina MacBookPro with a fresh install of .oh-my-zsh - Funny thing is I just did this on an older computer and it worked just fine with a 10.7+ version.

Same problem here. Did anyone ever figure this out?

[behas]

have the same problem. Any ideas how to fix that?

[nataschaZima]

which upgrade exactly do you mean? I have OS X 10.7.5 - and it still doesn't work..

[darrenterhune]

Woops sorry guys I upgraded to 10.8 which fixed it after a recently upgrade not the 10.7 I said above.

I am running 10.8.2 and it doesn't work

What about your gcc -v ? I'm at 4.2.1 - I honestly don't really have a clue why mine fixed all of a sudden but it was to do with a Apple update as I haven't touched .oh-my-zsh at all. It didn't work, then one day it just started working again.

Running 10.8.2 and having the same problem! Any updates on this?

yeah same here, my background is still white and the stack overflow doesnt help me either

With OSX's default Terminal app, have you switched the Profile in the settings? Oh My Zsh won't change the background preferences for you.

Optionally, you might checkout iTerm2, which is what I use.

Hi @shreyabhandare, the background color is a setting in your terminal (for example Terminal.app, iTerm2, Gnome terminal, Hyper...), so look in its settings to change it.

It seem like can't change color in terminal.app
