Change border colors

[BigfootN]

Hello,

I would like to be able to change the border colors of the cmdline_popup view.

I have tried several highlight groups:

• NoiceCmdlinePopup
• NoiceCmdlinePopupBorder
• NoiceCmdlinePopupBorderInput

Here is my configuration (I'm using lazy.nvim):

	"folke/noice.nvim",
	dependencies = {
		"MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
	},
	opts = {
		cmdline = {
			format = {
				cmdline = {
					title = "",
				},
			},
			enabled = true,
			view = "cmdline_popup",
		},
	},
	config = function(_, opts)
		border_group_id = vim.api.nvim_get_hl_id_by_name("NoiceCmdlinePopupBorderInput")
		vim.api.nvim_set_hl(border_group_id, "NoiceCmdlinePopupBorderInput", { fg = "#e78a4e" })
		require("noice").setup(opts)
	end

Thank you very much in advance for any help

vim.api.nvim_set_hl(border_group_id, "NoiceCmdlinePopupBorderInput", { fg = "#e78a4e" })

nvim_set_hl takes a namespace id, not a highlight group id. 0 is the global namespace id (which is activated by default).

      • {ns_id}  Namespace id for this highlight |nvim_create_namespace()|.
                 Use 0 to set a highlight group globally |:highlight|.
                 Highlights from non-global namespaces are not active by
                 default, use |nvim_set_hl_ns()| or |nvim_win_set_hl_ns()| to
                 activate them.

Thank you for your time.

Unfortunately it didn't solve the problem.

This is what I have as a the config function:

		vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "NoiceCmdlinePopupBorderCmdLine", { fg = "#473c29" })
		vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "NoiceCmdlinePopupBorderSearch", { fg = "#473c29" })
		vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "NoiceCmdlinePopupBorder", { fg = "#473c29" })
		require("noice").setup(opts)
		vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "NoiceCmdlinePopupBorderCmdLine", { fg = "#473c29" })
		vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "NoiceCmdlinePopupBorderSearch", { fg = "#473c29" })
		vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "NoiceCmdlinePopupBorder", { fg = "#473c29" })

What is really weird is that it seamed to work for a certain time, but the origin color came back. It seams "random".

N.B.: I set the highlight before and after the setup just to make sure it was actually set

Thank you for your time and help.

What is really weird is that it seamed to work for a certain time, but the origin color came back. It seams "random".

You can use nvim -V1logfile to enable verbose logging, then when you use the :highlight <highlight> neovim will write the file where <highlight> was last changed into logfile
(e.g. using :highlight NoiceCmdlinePopupBorder will write something like this:

NoiceCmdlinePopupBorderxxx guifg=<some color>
	Last set from <file where it was last changed> line <line number>

into logfile
After the origin color comes back, you can check logfile and see what changed the highlights.

Thank you for your great answer and time.

I did exactly that and here is what I got:

NoiceCmdlinePopupBorderCmdLinexxx guifg=#473c29
	Last set from ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/ui.lua line 24


NoiceCmdlinePopupBorderCmdLinexxx links to NoiceCmdlinePopupBorder
	Last set from ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/noice.nvim/lua/noice/config/highlights.lua line 104

The two seem completely inconsistent. One talks about the color set from noice.vim and the other says it was "well set" from my configuration.

Last set from ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/noice.nvim/lua/noice/config/highlights.lua line 104

The code here doesn't define a highlight; unless, it is cleared. I am guessing the theme changed and cleared the highlights. Maybe define the highlights in a ColorScheme autocmd:

vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "NoiceCmdlinePopupBorder", { fg = "#473c29" })
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "NoiceCmdlinePopupBorderCmdLine", { fg = "#473c29" })
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "NoiceCmdlinePopupBorderSearch", { fg = "#473c29" })
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("ColorScheme", {
    callback = function()
        vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "NoiceCmdlinePopupBorder", { fg = "#473c29" })
        vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "NoiceCmdlinePopupBorderCmdLine", { fg = "#473c29" })
        vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "NoiceCmdlinePopupBorderSearch", { fg = "#473c29" })
    end
})
require('noice').setup(opt)

or when your theme loads.

Thank you for your answer.

I think I found a "better"/"simpler" solution. To be honnest I haven't tested yours.

In my "solution" I just added force = true to the options of nvim_set_hl.

Thank you for your time.
