[Feature]: Add color to kind's text, not just icon

[nullchilly]

Problem

Currently the winbar fg rely on the WinBar highlight group

This makes it hard to add dropbar.nvim integration to colorscheme. If I change the WinBar highlight to make dropbar prettier, vanilla user will not be happy.

Expected behavior

Add DropBarNormal = { link = "WinBar", default = true } so colorscheme can add dropbar integration easier:

Add color_mode to show color for kind's text and not just its color, via DropBarKindFunction highlight group instead of just for icon (DropBarIconKindFunction)

This is a good idea, but I hesitate to implement this since currently the text color depends on not only hl-WinBar but also hl-WinBarNC, which make it possible to highlight texts in winbars of non-current windows in a different colors.

If I set the highlights groups explicitly and link it to hl-WinBar by default, we will no longer respect hl-WinBarNC.

Any thoughts?

I guess we can make DropBarNormal an empty highlight group by default

:lua vim.o.winbar = "%#DropBarNormal# dropbar.lua"

WinBarNC still works. Now if you define the highlight group:

:hi DropBarNormal guifg=#cba6f7

Looks good will look into it later.

@Bekaboo Special thanks :)

I implemented it in catppuccin/nvim#499

After

color_mode = false

👍🏼 Good job! I'm always impressed by how configurable and aesthetic catppuccin is.
