On `M-x` White font color on top of gray background confusing #497

[avatar-lavventura]

As you can see white color on top of gray is not readable. Is it possible to change/fix this coloring? Please note that I am using dracula-theme.

my setup:

(use-package selectrum
  :hook (after-init . selectrum-mode)
  :config
  (use-package selectrum-prescient
    :custom
    (prescient-filter-method '(literal regexp initialism fuzzy))
    :config
    (selectrum-prescient-mode t)
    (prescient-persist-mode t)))

Mmmh very weird. The default value should be black on gray:

I see in another comment of you that you play with iterm parameters. Can you confirm

• that the problem only occurs in terminal window? (try by opening a graphical emacs window)
• that the problem only occurs with selectrum? (try by using other completion framework like ido or default M-x)

Thanks you very much.

@milouse Yes sir, please see the paremeters I set, I always set for smart cursor (sometimes disable and re-able may fix the issue I am having):

Please see my dracula theme file (I may have done some minor changes): https://github.com/avatar-lavventura/dotfiles/blob/main/dracula-theme.el

• On the terminal window I see the same screenshot you had

On the iTerm changin cursor color to complete white and keeping Cursor Boost at 2 seems like fixed the issue

… So it seems to be an iTerm issue :/ I don’t have a Mac, nor I know this software… I’m afraid I cannot do anything more here. I’m glad you find the correct configuration for iTerm to have it work following your taste.
