If you have any experience with the downloadable software "Hyper" which is basically just a terminal, then you might be able to help me. I can't change the theme, its look. I am on the newest version of MacOS. I tried opening the file hyper.js but my computer can't find it. "~/Library/Application Support/Hyper/.hyper.js" marks an error. What can I do to change the theme?

I figured it out, I had to go up to the Hyper (On the top bar next to the "apple" logo on my mac), then click on "Preferences". That opens a JavaScript file that contains values such as colors for different parts of the "Hyper" program. Head to "foregroundColor" and you can change the font color. I chose '#27fe16' so that it looks like the traditional cool terminal.

This is what I did:
- Open Hyper Terminal.
- Go to Menu->Edit->Preferences or press Ctrl + ,
- .hyper file will be opened for clarification.
- Under the modules.exports section, navigate to config section.
- Find plugins: ["hyper-material-theme", "verminal"],
- Remove the Plugin/Theme and save and exit.
- You will see a notification "Hyper Configuration reloaded!"
- Example: [] for default theme.
