Colours not showing up properly.

The color of the prompt is always like this no matter what theme I choose.

System specs
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)"

Could you record a .cast file with termtosvg record and copy paste the content of the file here?

Here's the output of $ terminal record:

Thanks. Your prompt uses a bold font so termtosvg displays it with bright colors (color8 to color15 of the color themes defined in ~/.config/termtosvg/termtosvg.ini). There are two solutions:

• Tweak a color theme so that color8 through color15 look like what you want
• If you don't care about bright colors, remove them altogether. For example you could add the following theme to the configuration file:

[solarized-dark-8]
foreground = #93a1a1
background = #002b36
color0 = #002b36
color1 = #dc322f
color2 = #859900
color3 = #b58900
color4 = #268bd2
color5 = #6c71c4
color6 = #2aa198
color7 = #93a1a1

and then call termtosvg --theme solarized-dark-8.

Let me know if it fixes your problem!

Great! It fixed my problem! Thanks!
