The default color scheme for gitui in iTerm2 is illegible on my Mac (iTmer2). The light cyan with yellow lettering can be almost impossible to see:
hard-to-see

I am trying to change my color scheme, but the theme file doesn't seem to have an entry for the cyan command blocks with yellow (if it is listed here, please let me know). It would be good to have all possible elements and their names documented.
short-list

Finally, the THEMES.md file (as of 2021-06-29) incorrectly shows that the location of the theme config file (on MacOS) is $HOME/Library/Application Support/gitui/theme.ron. In fact, it is located at ~/.config/gitui. This is frustrating to a new user and in my case, was almost enough to make me uninstall. But the 'app' itself is 733t so if there is a way for me to surmout these issues, I would like to stay!

Macbook Pro 2012 Intel Catalina 10.15.7, 15" Retina, iTerm2 w/ "Bright Lights" color scheme applied.
