I installed Helix code editor on my freebsd 14 system.

When I tried to change the theme – I got “No True Color support”

command is ‘:theme autumn-night’

Well, I am using putty and it has loads of color support so what gives.  So, after many searches found this gem to just tell you have true-color in  the $HOME/.config/helix/config.toml:

theme="edge_aura"
[editor]
true-color=true
~

I recommend this theme package from CptPotato – https://github.com/CptPotato/helix-themes

once you build the themes copy from the build directory to your dir $HOME/.config/helix/themes

and you can pick which one you like – and put it into your config.toml
