System theme broken with light color schemes #12184
Description
Description
PR #8467 introduced background: transparent in the system theme to support terminal transparency. This breaks some parts of the system theme, especially visible on light themes.
From my understanding transparent background by default messes up contrast calculations as you can see on screens. This happens even on terminals with 100% opacity.

OpenCode version

Updated comment in the other issue. I'm wondering if this is also related to Tmux/Terminal color settings:
