Can't figure out how to pass in a font or a background color

[apeir-n]

First off, this thing is awesome. It's my new fave menu thingy, I've already ported a ton of my dmenu scripts to it lol.

But, I've been trying to use the background color and font options, and they don't seem to be working for me. The other color options are working, like --highlight-color "#ff0000", but when i try --bg-color "#ff0000" it doesn't seem to do anything. I've tried various combinations and still no.

For the font, I checked to see what format the string should be in with this:

swift -e 'import AppKit; NSFontManager.shared.availableFonts.filter { $0.localizedCaseInsensitiveContains("Helvetica") }.forEach { print($0) }'

and it gave me some stuff like:

Helvetica
Helvetica-Bold
HelveticaNeue
HelveticaNeue-CondensedBold
HelveticaNeue-Italic
etc

so i tried passing in strings in those formats, and with other typefaces, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Any tips?
