Description

I am on the latest Hyper.app version

I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

OS version and name: OS X 10.14.6 Mojave

Hyper.app version: 3.0.2

Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere): N/A

The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Is Vanilla
Issue
Even though the hyper.js config has accent set to white, when the window is focused, the text color seems black (so cursorAccentColor is never used??) making it very hard to read.
I have tried debugging and see if I could re-write the CSS for :focus but having a canvas renderer (or webgl for that matter) didn't help much.

Research direction
Start with the linked .hyper.js configuration and reproduce the focused block-cursor behavior in Hyper.app 3.0.2 on macOS Mojave. Inspect how the canvas or WebGL renderer applies the accent and cursor colors, then verify that focused block-cursor text remains readable when the accent is white.
