What happened?

In VS Code, if the terminal window doesn't have a black background, the leading powerline symbol for my git segment shows up as black:

This seems to be isolated to using powershell within VS Code.

This isn't an issue in windows terminal or in VS Code on a mac using the same theme.

Windows terminal:

VS Code Mac zsh:

I would expect theme to be consistent across terminals (i.e. the symbol to be transparent).

Theme

I was using my own custom theme: https://github.com/erresen/oh-my-posh-aggy-theme/blob/main/aggy.omp.json
