CMP Styling issues when setting background to transparent

[oiiiiiiii]

When I set transparent = true in the setup, the styling for cmp breaks (see screenshot).

The background is only set transparent for the content, the border still uses the nord colors.

Interesting, can you share your nvim-cmp settings ?

Sorry for the late reply. I included it via lsp-zero. Here is my entire lsp-zero setup (using lazy) minus the keybindings, just in case this makes any difference that I included it via lsp-zero (which I believe it should not).

return {
    'VonHeikemen/lsp-zero.nvim', branch = 'v4.x',
    dependencies = {
        {'williamboman/mason.nvim'},
        {'williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim'},
        {'neovim/nvim-lspconfig'},
        {'L3MON4D3/LuaSnip'},
        {'hrsh7th/nvim-cmp'},
        {'hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp'},
        {'hrsh7th/cmp-buffer'},
        {'hrsh7th/cmp-path'},
        {'saadparwaiz1/cmp_luasnip'},
        {'rafamadriz/friendly-snippets'},
    },
    config = function()
        local lsp_zero = require('lsp-zero')

        local lsp_attach = function(client, bufnr)
            local opts = {buffer = bufnr}
            -- some keybindings
        end

        lsp_zero.extend_lspconfig({
            sign_text = true,
            lsp_attach = lsp_attach,
            float_border = 'rounded',
            capabilities = require('cmp_nvim_lsp').default_capabilities()
        })

        require('mason').setup({})
        require('mason-lspconfig').setup({
            ensure_installed = { "rust_analyzer", "lua_ls", "gopls"},
            handlers = {
                function(server_name)
                    require('lspconfig')[server_name].setup({})
                end,
            }
        })

        local cmp = require('cmp')
        local cmp_action = lsp_zero.cmp_action()

        -- this is the function that loads the extra snippets
        -- from rafamadriz/friendly-snippets
        require('luasnip.loaders.from_vscode').lazy_load()

        cmp.setup({
            sources = {
                {name = 'path'},
                {name = 'nvim_lsp'},
                {name = 'luasnip', keyword_length = 2},
                {name = 'buffer', keyword_length = 3},
            },
            window = {
                completion = cmp.config.window.bordered(),
                documentation = cmp.config.window.bordered(),
            },
            snippet = {
                expand = function(args)
                    vim.snippet.expand(args.body)
                end,
            },
            mapping = cmp.mapping.preset.insert({
                -- keybindings
            }),
            -- note: if you are going to use lsp-kind (another plugin)
            -- replace the line below with the function from lsp-kind
            formatting = lsp_zero.cmp_format({details = true}),
        })
    end
}

But does it work with your setup when you set the background to transparent? If so, I will try to set it up myself and see if it works then. I just thought maybe this is a general issue.

Can you try using this:

        window = {
          documentation = cmp.config.window.bordered({
            winhighlight = "Normal:Normal,FloatBorder:FloatBorder,CursorLine:Visual,Search:None",
          }),
         completion = cmp.config.window.bordered({
            winhighlight = "Normal:Normal,FloatBorder:FloatBorder,CursorLine:Visual,Search:None",
          }),
    }

[oiiiiiiii]

Still the same, unfortunately :/

[gbprod]

Can you give me the result of :hi FloatBorder and :hi NormalBorder ?

[oiiiiiiii]

Sorry for the late reply:

:hi FloatBorder
FloatBorder    xxx guifg=#4c566a guibg=#2e3440

:hi NormalBorder throws an error though (E411: Highlight group not found: NormalBorder)

Hi!

First, can you tell me what are you using for terminal emulator ?

Then, can you try those settings for nord :

  {
    "gbprod/nord.nvim",
    lazy = false,
    priority = 1000,
    config = function()
      require("nord").setup({
        transparent = true,
        on_highlights = function(highlights, colors)
          highlights["FloatBorder"] = { fg = colors.polar_night.brightest, bg = colors.none }
        end,
      })
      vim.cmd.colorscheme("nord")
    end,
  }

[oiiiiiiii]

I am using kitty. Setting highlights["FloatBorder"] = { fg = colors.polar_night.brightest, bg = colors.none } did the trick though, thanks a lot! :)
