Truecolors not working inside tmux about lazygit HOT 6 OPEN

I'm having the same problem, as mentioned in #3362

from lazygit.

Just for the record I have COLORTERM=truecolor setup inside tmux.

from lazygit.

I think I have the exact same problem...

A weird-ish yellow background for both additions and deletions when inside Tmux > lazygit. The regular git-delta diff colors work when lazygit runs outside of Tmux. Or when just using git diff (using delta) inside of Tmux.

Somehow that 3rd layer (Tmux > lazygit > delta) messes up the background colors from my theme.

I don't know why I didn't think of this until now, but the solution I've found is to alias lazygit to use screen-256color env in my .zshrc / .bashrc:

alias lazygit='env TERM=screen-256color lazygit'
alias lg='lazygit'

from lazygit.

Thanks for the workaround 😁

I guess that also sheds some more light on the underlying issue.

Inside of Tmux $TERM is usually set to tmux-256color.

Delta works fine when run standalone inside of Tmux. At least when also setting a :Tc "terminal override in Tmux like so:

set-option -ga terminal-overrides ",*-256color:Tc"

What could be going on inside of lazygit here that messes with this?

I don't know if lazygit uses italics but screen-256color does not support italics
