+can take quite a bit of time. If it takes longer than 10 milliseconds (configurable via
`POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_MAX_SYNC_LATENCY_SECONDS`), Powerlevel10k displays the last known Git status in
grey and continues to compute up-to-date Git status in the background. When the computation
completes, Powerlevel10k refreshes prompt with new information, this time with colored Git status.
+When using *Rainbow* style, Git status is displayed as black on grey while it's still being
+computed. Depending on the terminal color palette, this may be difficult to read. In this case you
+might want to change the background color to something ligher for more contrast. To do that, open
+`~/.p10k.zsh`, search for `POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_LOADING_BACKGROUND`, uncomment it if it's commented out,
+and change the value.
+
+```zsh
+typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_LOADING_BACKGROUND=244
+```
+
+Type `source ~/.p10k.zsh` to apply your changes to the current Zsh session.
