I'm experimenting with helm, after using icicles for a long time.
I used the popular solarized-dark colour scheme by default most of the time, and helm seems to be choosing particularly unreadable colors:
...how can I advise helm to select more useful colors? Hopefully so it works well when I switch to solarized-light as well.
When I first tried the solarized theme, I had a similar problem with helm
menus as shown above. The highlighting on diff
and magit
were even worse.
I started to try to fix this myself but I eventually realized that there are at least three different versions of the solarized theme currently in MELPA. The one called solarized-theme
is the one you want. The helm selection bar is very subtle and underlined, like below.
