Description

when using https://zellij.dev/ opencode is always in dark mode. This alone could be a bug in how zellij reports system theme or something, however it would be nice to be able to manually select light/dark mode instead of only the 'theme' and have light-dark auto detected. 'system' seems to not actually follow the system in this case (only opencode has this issue for me)

OpenCode version

1.0.57

Steps to reproduce

  1. install zellij
  2. set light mode in zellij (catppuccin-latte)
  3. start zellij (its light mode)
  4. start opencode (its dark mode)

Screenshot and/or share link

No response

Operating System

Arch

Terminal

Ghostty 1.2.3
