Cannot override tabline highlights about nvim HOT 4 CLOSED

But isn't it working? Sorry I wasn't able to reproduce it. Perhaps I did something wrong?

With this config:

catppuccino.setup({colorscheme = "neon_latte"})
catppuccino.load()

:hi TabLine:

With this config:

catppuccino.setup({colorscheme = "neon_latte"})
catppuccino.load()
local cmd = vim.cmd
cmd('hi TabLine ctermfg=white ctermbg=black')

:hi TabLine:

Perhaps you were expecting the words "black" and "white" to appear when running :hi TabLine? In case you didn't know, those numbers represent the cterm colors (see help cterm-colors):

from nvim.

Well, this is embarrassing. I shortcutted actually examining the output because my tabline no longer looks how I expect it to after I installed Catppuccino, but maybe it's unrelated?

:verbose highlight TabLineSel
TabLineSel     xxx cterm=bold ctermfg=9 ctermbg=0 guifg=#898E99 guibg=#3b4261
        Last set from anonymous :source

Notice that ctermfg is 9 (red) and ctermbg is 0 (black) for the selected tab, and yet my tabline looks like this:

Before installing Catpuccino my tabline was white text on black with red text indicating the current tab, and indeed when I revert my changes to switch to Catpuccino my tabline looks like this:

If this isn't actually an issue with Catppuccino I can close this issue. Do you know what might be going on here?

These 3 are the hi groups Catppuccino touches related to the TabLine.

This is not an issue. Of course the TabLine is going to look different from what you had before, how else are we gonna get a consistent theme where every UI element follows the same color palette?

I've personally never used tne built-in tab line (I recommend this one), but I did configure its colors for Catppuccino. Just find the hi groups it's using and change them to your like.

Just change the hi groups after loading catppuccino ;) I'm not sure the names of all the hi groups it takes the colors from. Keep in mind that it might be using, for instance, Normal to get the foreground...

Looks like it's the termguicolors that are taking effect here. I could have sworn I did set termguicolors? and it said notermguicolors but now it says termguicolors 😵 .

Changing my highlight groups as such took care of it:

vim.cmd('hi TabLineFill ctermfg=black ctermbg=black guifg=lightblack guibg=lightblack')
vim.cmd('hi TabLine ctermfg=white ctermbg=black guifg=white guibg=lightblack')
vim.cmd('hi TabLineSel ctermfg=red ctermbg=black guifg=red guibg=lightblack')

Thank you for Catpuccino! It's a great theme 😄 .
