How to update styles of command completions

[star-szr]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to update styling for carapace output similar to the following (git command completions shown):

I would like all the command names add, am, annotate, etc. to be black, or at least be able to control those colors.

I tried carapace --style "carapace.Highlight*=black" but this didn't seem to have any effect for this use case.

I do have a styles.json already as part of my dotfiles but have not been able to get as far as figuring out what I need to override to achieve this goal so would really appreciate some direction. I found the code to handle NO_COLOR but not sure if/how to apply that here, since that seems to be close to what I want.

Thanks,
Scott

Subcommands implicitly use the highlight styles based on their group (e.g carapace.Highlight1).
The default uses the standard colors, so it depends on your terminal color theme how they look.
There's no config to disable subcommand styling at the moment.

Thanks! So this pointed me to overriding the specific carapace.Highlight1, carapace.Highlight2, etc. (looks like it goes up to 12) which seems to do what I want.

Am I correct in thinking there is no wildcard capability when overriding styles? I think I misinterpreted the suggestions in https://github.com/orgs/carapace-sh/discussions/1656 as saying "use a literal asterisk to apply to all variants" but it seems that is imaginary functionality :)

Correct, there's no wildcard capability for styles.
