Question about colors

Help
1

The selected command seems to use the AlertError color from the theme, same as failed commands. I would expect it to use e.g. Important. Do I have this right? Is there any way to change the color of the selected command (without changing the color of failed commands)?

I’ve noticed this too and code-dived to find that it is highlighting matches with the Error color.

For anyone else wondering, here is the relevant line: atuin/crates/atuin/src/command/client/search/history_list.rs at 0eecc0b43dbf12dfb1f75da94151cd759a6f4782 · JoaquinTrinanes/atuin · GitHub

On NixOS, I ended up writing this patch:

programs.atuin.package = pkgs-unstable.atuin.overrideAttrs (old: {
  patches = (old.patches or [ ]) ++ [
    ./atuin-color.patch
  ];
});

I chose Meaning::Annotation, because in the Catppuccin theme this is your accent color. Important is still red, and Title falls back on Important for some reason.
