Popup (completion) menu colors in 16 color terminals are broken

Closed this issue 8 years ago · 2 comments

The completion menu popup has terrible colors when using a 16-color terminal.

This is how it looks with the current HEAD in a 8-color terminal (this is in a VTE-based terminal, forcing 8-color mode with let &t_Co=8, colors show similary in a Linux ttyN console):

And this is how it looks in a 16-color terminal (again, VTE-based, forcing TERM=xterm to disable 256-color mode):

I might tweak the color later on a bit more, e.g. to use the cyan shades in 16-color mode, but for now this issue can be closed.
