Color of text is washed out if text is not clickable

[zihengjackchen]

I have a specific color palette in mind. However, xbar automatically washes out the color if the text is not used as a button, which causes these colors to be incorrect. Is there any solutions to this?

This is expected bahviour. Just add | shell=true | terminal=false to the end of the line. This makes it be clickable but do nothing when you click it.
