Dark themes in terminal

[romankrv]

Need redesign color in dark themes in terminal.
It's look like this. See attach

[dgutov]

I suppose; patches welcome.

But does Emacs even know that it's running in a dark-background terminal? The popup looks much better on a light background.

[romankrv]

It's problem on iTerm. It's probably conflict 256 color of the palette of iTerm and company.el color palette.

[dgutov]

256 color

Right.

But what I mean is, you might not be able to just change the colors to look better on dark background. What does frame-background-mode evaluate to, in the above environment?

[romankrv]

Can you get me more detail or workflow how to deal with the “frame-background-mode“
M-x frame-background-mode not much in my emacs

[dgutov]

M-: frame-background-mode RET

[romankrv]

not exist, can give me elisp code for that?

[dgutov]

What does not exist? This variable has been in Emacs for years.

What kind of code are you looking for?

[romankrv]

I try to find function as you said: frame-background-mode
but it only has - frame-set-background-mode

How to get frame-background-mode ?
Thanks

It's a variable.

[romankrv]

Yes, you are right, it exist.
This variable has value 'nil' I checked it in iTerm(256 color app) and Term.app (16 color app) and both of them are equal 'nul'
That is it variable not use in.

Tell me please, Is your project (company-mode) not ready to work with 256 color palette?

Let's start to plan to change it. You agree? Because you are more the expert in your project then I.

Thanks.

@romankrv Does anything change, visually, if you customize that variable to dark?

[romankrv]

okay, I try it
and report then

Leaving a comment here for those like me coming from a Google search for this problem. For me, the solution was changing my TERM environment variable from one that does not have full 256 bit color support (in my case it was set to screen) to one that does, like xterm-256color or screen-256color if using screen.

@ned2 Thanks!

for someone find the answer, may you can try to add these code below:

(custom-set-faces
 '(company-preview
   ((t (:foreground "darkgray" :underline t))))
 '(company-preview-common
   ((t (:inherit company-preview))))
 '(company-tooltip
   ((t (:background "lightgray" :foreground "black"))))
 '(company-tooltip-selection
   ((t (:background "steelblue" :foreground "white"))))
 '(company-tooltip-common
   ((((type x)) (:inherit company-tooltip :weight bold))
    (t (:inherit company-tooltip))))
 '(company-tooltip-common-selection
   ((((type x)) (:inherit company-tooltip-selection :weight bold))
    (t (:inherit company-tooltip-selection)))))
