Description
- [x ] I am on the latest Hyper.app version
- [ x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
- OS version and name: Windows 10 WSL w/ zsh 5.4.2 (x86_64-ubuntu-linux-gnu), antigen (latest)
- Hyper.app version: 3.0.2 (stable), hyperterm theme: hyper-solarized-dark
- Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: https://gist.github.com/ridhwaans/3608ccd6b2afdf8d25bbfebbd0fe178c
- Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere):
Plugin hyper-solarized-dark (0.1.6) loaded.

- The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app:
Issue

This occurs for both light and dark variants of the altercation/vim-colors-solarized vim color scheme (set background=light|dark). As seen, the contrast/colors is inverted everywhere, line 31 is supposed to look like the rest of the file. As you shift the cursor to a new line its the same effect.
I'm guessing the issue is the terminal emulator or some missing vimrc setting

Research direction
Start by reproducing the contrast inversion in Hyper.app on Windows 10 WSL with zsh, using the hyper-solarized-dark plugin and the linked .hyper.js configuration. Compare both light and dark variants of the altercation/vim-colors-solarized scheme, including cursor movement; done means the colors and contrast render consistently instead of inverting.
