I successfully installed CoC in my Vim to have some code-suggestions/completions while coding in Rust.

It works fine, but I want to change the color and basic looks of the suggestion box.

I tried achieving this by editing the JSON file that's opened after executing :CocConfig. This is it's content:

{
    "suggest.completionItemKindLabels": {
        "keyword": "\u0000",
        "variable": "\ue79b",
        "value": "\uf89f",
        "operator": "\u03a8",
        "function": "\u0192",
        "reference": "\ufa46",
        "constant": "\uf8fe",
        "method": "\uf09a",
        "struct": "\ufb44",
        "class": "\uf0e8",
        "interface": "\uf417",
        "text": "\ue612",
        "enum": "\uf435",
        "enumMember": "\uf02b",
        "module": "\uf40d",
        "color": "\u0000",
        "property": "\ue624",
        "field": "\uf9be",
        "unit": "\uf475",
        "event": "\ufacd",
        "file": "\uf723",
        "folder": "\uf114",
        "snippet": "\ue60b",
        "typeParameter": "\uf728",
        "default": "\u0000"
    }
}

I tried to change the color of the suggestion-box with that code as a test, but nothing has changed (even after restarting Vim).

Am I doing something wrong?

I don't use coc, so I will just share my vision on how you can try to fix this.

I assume that by suggestion box you mean regular vim Pmenu.

Try to make sure if it is actually Pmenu:

  1. run :hi Pmenu and check the colors:

enter image description here

  1. if it really is, then changing it would be simple, add to your vimrc
""" Customize colors
func! s:my_colors_setup() abort
    " this is an example
    hi Pmenu guibg=#d7e5dc gui=NONE
    hi PmenuSel guibg=#b7c7b7 gui=NONE
    hi PmenuSbar guibg=#bcbcbc
    hi PmenuThumb guibg=#585858
endfunc

augroup colorscheme_coc_setup | au!
    au ColorScheme * call s:my_colors_setup()
augroup END
  1. if it is not, then try to figure out what highlights coc uses either by looking into coc doc or coc source files or try to "look" into :hi command output:

enter image description here

  1. if found something related to coc, try to change color of the group using :hi coc-group guibg=red or smth similar. (coc-group is an example here).

  2. if you have found what coc highlight group you want to change -- make amends to 2. and you are ok

If it is not Pmenu (maybe it is float window of neovim or popup of vim) then you'll have to dig out how coc passes colors to them.

UPD

ColorScheme autocommand is triggered when colorscheme is changed. You change colorscheme before autocommand is defined.

  1. put colorscheme afterglow after augroup and autocommand definition
  2. NOTE that if you use terminal vim without termguicolors option, then gui colors wouldn't work. You have to add ctermbg and ctermfg parameters. (I don't know what palette do you use 16 or 256, for default palette colors consult https://jonasjacek.github.io/colors/ -- ctermbg=67 should be SteelBlue or smth)
    hi Pmenu ctermbg=black ctermfg=white

    Thanks a lot for your answer! That Pmenu is indeed what I want to change. However, I have added that to the bottom of my vimrc, restarted Vim, but nothing is changing. Added my full vimrc in the question

  • Works perfectly! Thanks mate! And I'm using terminal Vim. Can't use MacVim because of this: vi.stackexchange.com/questions/22191/…

    Thanks a lot for the share! hi Pmenu ctermbg=black ctermfg=white resolved it for me!

  • Great answer. Weirdly enoug, I am using nvim on a mac with iterm2, so it's a plain text terminal, but ctermbg and ctermfg have no effect whatsoever. But setting color values to guibg and guifg actually did the trick. Sometimes plain magic seems to happen.

Example of black text on white background for Haskell files

autocmd FileType haskell hi Pmenu ctermfg=Black ctermbg=White
autocmd FileType haskell hi PmenuSel ctermfg=Black ctermbg=White
autocmd FileType haskell hi FgCocErrorFloatBgCocFloating ctermfg=Black ctermbg=White guifg=White guibg=Black

  • FgCocErrorFloatBgCocFloating was the painfull one for me (and the last entry in the hi list)
