Wrong background colors for tabs with LSP alerts

[simplepad]

Description

Barbar uses wrong background color for the LSP alerts part of tabs, both active and inactive (inactive are harder to spot but the color is wrong too).

To Reproduce

1. Have neovim with LSP, barbar and tokyonight theme plugins installed.
2. Try to edit a file that has LSP alerts.

I experienced the same problem with the Nord color scheme.

@simplepad @FahimAnayet this issue is caused because the colorschemes that were mentioned only define some of the highlight groups for barbar, which means the rest are defaults (which don't look quite right WRT how the rest of the colorscheme looks).

Here is where tokyonight defines the colors for barbar. The missing ones are:

• BufferAlternate
• BufferAlternateERROR
• BufferAlternateHINT
• BufferAlternateIcon
• BufferAlternateIndex
• BufferAlternateINFO
• BufferAlternateMod
• BufferAlternateSign
• BufferAlternateTarget
• BufferAlternateWARN
• BufferCurrentERROR
• BufferCurrentHINT
• BufferCurrentIcon
• BufferCurrentINFO
• BufferCurrentWARN
• BufferInactiveERROR
• BufferInactiveHINT
• BufferInactiveIcon
• BufferInactiveINFO
• BufferInactiveWARN
• BufferOffset
• BufferTabpageFill
• BufferVisibleERROR
• BufferVisibleHINT
• BufferVisibleIcon
• BufferVisibleINFO
• BufferVisibleWARN

It also defines one group which does not exist: BufferTabpage.

The most important groups of those are the ERROR, HINT, INFO, and WARN groups, as well as the BufferAlternate groups.

I would make an issue on those colorschemes' respective repositories and ask for these groups to be added.

Closing since we can't fix on our side, though I am happy to answer any other related questions :)

Wow, thank you for your explanation! I will open an issue in the theme's repo.
