assign a color to the underline

The undersline color changes with the color of words, i.e., if the word is colored by "green", then the underline color is "green" as well. How could I assign a color to underline persistently, like "yellow", no matter what the word color is? Thanks!

You can overwrite the highlight by let g:cursorword_highlight = 0 and then configure highlights of CursorWord0, CursorWord1. Refer to :h undercurll and :h ctermul to use different underline colors.

I tried the following settings without success. Forgot to say I use neovim 0.5 with xfce-terminal.
:h ctermul returns no help in neovim, neither in vim 8.0. When starting neovim, it reports illegal argment "ctermual=red".

let g:cursorword_highlight = 0
:highlight CursorWord0 term=underline cterm=underline gui=underline ctermul=red 
:highlight CursorWord1 term=underline cterm=underline gui=underline ctermul=red

With the following codes, no error but also no underline.

let g:cursorword_highlight = 0
:highlight CursorWord0 term=underline cterm=underline gui=underline guisp=red 
:highlight CursorWord1 term=underline cterm=underline gui=underline guisp=red

The ctermul option was implemented in v8.2.0863. And make sure your terminal supports this non-standard escape code (e.x. printf "\e[4:2;58:5:1mhello\e[0m"). This is not related to this plugin, but to how to configure ctermul in Vim, so closing.

Works with neovim with the followig settings:

highlight CursorWord0 gui=underline guisp=#ebcb8b
highlight CursorWord1 gui=underline guisp=#ebcb8b
