Description
Type: Bug
I may be one of the few developers that still prefers light over dark mode, and I am running into an annoying issue when typing in the Terminal window. For instance, if I am writing a "git" command and I type in "git --version", the work "git" appears as one would expect and is easily readable. However, everything type after that "--version", is highlights in black and since, in light more, the terminal text is a light grey, anything entered after the "git" becomes extremely hard to read.
