Background color does not change

[ttmms]

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

About all color schemes have same blueish gray background. Either the maker just loves this color, or it is a bug. Also, I didn't find any specifier to change background color in own themes. Please help.

@tuomassa
save test.micro file in ~/.config/micro/colorschemes and put in the below

# default colour Forground red background green
color-link default "#FF0000,#33FF33"

Open micro and ctrl e set colorscheme test

Micro editor should have a green background and the text should be red if it is not then there is something wrong.

Note that for accurate color display, you must set the MICRO_TRUECOLOR=1 environment variable and use a terminal emulator that supports truecolor rendering.

What is your $TERM environment variable (echo $TERM)? In order to support most colorschemes, your terminal must support 256 colors, indicated by the value xterm-256color if you are using the default Linux terminal.

I also am having issues with this.
Colors are not displaying with truecolor.
For me:

• $TERM is set to screen-256color
• $MICRO_TRUECOLOR is set to 1

imo, the value $MICRO_TRUECOLOR should be prioritized over the value of $TERM, instead of requiring them both.
