[New colorscheme] winbar highlights link to statusline

[geril2207]

Problem

The WinBar and WinBarNC highlight groups are now linked to StatusLine and StatusLineNC after new colorscheme refactoring. Can I change the StatusLine/NC highlight without affecting WinBar and WinBarNC(what should we do from plugin)? What are your thoughts on that? I believe there are currently some issues in other plugins because of this, for example, nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua#2582. Additionally, colorscheme plugins should handle WinBar and WinBarNC(not a big deal). I don't think it should have the same background as the statusline; what do you think?

Steps to reproduce

Actually this is a question, i dont think you need to reproduce smth.

Expected behavior

I should have make it question, but I feel that it does not get answer :)

Neovim version (nvim -v)

latest master

Vim (not Nvim) behaves the same?

❯❯❯ nvim-0.9.4 --clean --headless -c 'hi WinBar' -c q

WinBar         xxx cterm=bold gui=bold


❯❯❯ nvim --clean --headless -c 'hi WinBar' -c q 

WinBar         xxx links to StatusLine


❯❯❯ nvim --clean --headless -c 'hi StatusLine' -c q 

StatusLine     xxx ctermfg=251 ctermbg=232 guifg=NvimLightGrey3 guibg=NvimDarkGrey1

You can do highlight WinBar ctermfg=NONE ctermbg=NONE guifg=NONE guibg=NONE cterm=bold gui=bold to reset to the old defaults in your config or colorscheme. Personally I think the new defaults of Winbar linked to StatusLine makes sense and I'd agree with that, but yes, it has a breaking impact on the existing colorscheme that did not define Winbar explicitly. I think this is just a matter of user config or plugins should adopt to the new colorscheme change. See also #26378 and #26369.

Yeah, thanks, agree with this for default theme, but for plugins and themes it provides a little of mess.
