kitty autocomplete color is unreadably dark

[peschkaj]

The autocomplete color in kitty is all but unreadable, even at very high brightness on my displays. Something with higher contrast would be beneficial for all users of Kitty.

Which color is this in the general kitty color scheme?

Yeah, I've noticed the same issue with comments in terminal. It uses bright black as the color, I don't know how to fix this save for changing the bright-black color to something lighter, more in line with how white looks now. In vim it uses white as the comment color.

It looks like srcery needs a few palette tweaks, I'll try to make some updates over the weekend, stay tuned.

For what it's worth, I found #807d74 to be an acceptable color for bright-black. There's probably a better choice that fits in more with the theme, but it does work for the moment.

Sorry about the delay on this, I'll get around to it soon. Been busy. Glad you found something that works temporarily.

I’ll take a look tomorrow. But I’ve not noticed this to be an issue yet, or at least not been put off by it.

What shell are you using?

Changing color8 resulted in changes in more than one place, and that is not suitable.

I'm using ZSH with purepower (which itself uses powerlevel10k). My current color config from kitty is:

# Main Colors {{{

# Black
color0               #1C1B19
color8               #807d74

In the effort of helping you duplicate this (if needed), you can find my ZSH config files at the following locations:

• purepower
• .zshrc.local
• .zshenv

I use a fork of James Off's ZSH config that you can find over here

I'm not sure how this is easily fixed. As changing the colors for kitty affects the whole system. I suspect that the only option if for you to change the colors in ZSH, and make it only affect it.

Tested setting the color you suggested, but then I had the recurring issue of other apps being affected.

[peschkaj]

Thanks for looking into this. My terminal is largely just a terminal for running commands, so this one change works for me but I understand that it breaks things for others.

I'll look into changing the color just for ZSH, too, just in case I use more command line apps in the future. Thanks for that hint!

[MindTooth]

I recommend Vim. 😉

Okay with you that I close the issue?

[peschkaj]

I shall close this. Again: thanks for taking the time to look into this.

This issue should now be properly resolved
