Autocomplete Color Customization?

[thewatts]

Description

Honestly, (and maybe this is just me) - but for whatever reason the color schemes I use and the autocomplete with IRB simply do not mix (note: I'm partially colorblind - so again, perhaps just me).

It's what has kept me going back to pry.

I've tried both Darkula, and Catppuccin (current)

Here's a screenshot:

*My question: Is there a way to customize the colors used by the autocomplete?

Hi @thewatts, thanks for raising this. We’re aware of the problem and have started a discussion on introducing related APIs for customization in Reline (the gem that powers autocomplete dialog): ruby/reline#552

Thanks for the quick response, @st0012!

I appreciate you!

@thewatts The Reline PR I mentioned has been merged. Could you try Reline 0.4.0 with this guide?

I'm closing this as the Reline feature has been pretty stable and there are even themes like https://github.com/vitallium/irb-theme-tokyonight
