How do I change the cursor to a block in normal mode and to a beam in insert mode, inside vim's built in :terminal ?

In neovim, this can be done by:

vim.opt.guicursor:append("t:ver25")
vim.opt.guicursor:append("t:blinkon0")

but, this doesn't work in vim, written in vim script:

set guicursor+=t:ver25
set guicursor+=t:blinkon0

E546: Illegal mode: guicursor+=t:ver25 line 30: E546: Illegal mode: guicursor+=t:blinkon0

I have the following to make my cursor a block in normal mode and a beam in insert mode in Vim, but this doesnt work for the :terminal

let &amp;t_SI = "\&lt;Esc&gt;[6 q"
let &amp;t_EI = "\&lt;Esc&gt;[2 q"

is there a way to make the same behaviour possible inside vim's built in terminal ?

OS : cachyos
vim : 9.2
terminal : konsole and kitty

Thanks in advance

Colorschemes (Cattppuccin / Tokyonight) don't work as intended and I can't seem to findout why

Kernel Version : Linux 7.1.4-1-cachyos

KDE version: 6.7.3

Terminal : Konsole, Alacritty

Neovim version : 0.12.4

Plugin Manager: Vim Plug

screenshot of c code using catppuccin : ( the ss is for c, but it doesnt work for any language including lua and other colorschemes like tokyonight also dont work)

This is not the correct syntax highlighting.

Some init.lua lines:

-- Manage Colors and Aesthetics
vim.opt.termguicolors = true
vim.opt.cursorline = true
require("catppuccin").setup({
    flavour = "mocha",
    integrations = {
        treesitter = true,   
        native_lsp = { enabled = true },
    }
})
vim.cmd.colorscheme("catppuccin")

-- Manage Plugins
-- vim.treesitter.start()
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('FileType', {
    pattern = { 'lua', 'c', 'vim', 'vimdoc', 'markdown', 'query', 'markdown_inline'}, 
    callback = function()
        vim.treesitter.start()
    end,
})

checkhealth for treesitter :

I searched on google and tried a bunch of different things but nothing seems to work

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks in advance

Solution : Seems to be the fact that I don't use LSP, or I could still be wrong !
