BUGS -Non-default colours (gray, brown, orange, and pink) will not work on terminal emulators that don't support 256-colors. Konsole, qterminal and possibly others are also known to have issues with them. If you're using screen or tmux, try to configure it to use the xterm-256color TERM environment variable. -When reloading the config file during a live session, some UI changes may be buggy and require a full client restart.
