Change color of temporary evaluation result?

[mars0i]

When evaluating code with <Leader>ei, <Leader>et, etc., the result is temporarily displayed to the right of the line after "=> ". The displayed result is in the the Comment color from the user's color scheme.

Is there a way to change this color to make it different from the Comment color? Since comments are static parts of a source file, and the evaluation result is temporary, for me it would be nicer if the color of the evaluation result conveyed that it was temporary and made it stand out. (I know I can change the color of the temporary result display by changing my Comment color, but I want the result display to be in a different color from my comments.)

Or if there's no way to change it, maybe I could just modify my own copy of the .vim viles to make the color different? I haven't yet figured out which file this is in. Thanks.

@mars0i Thanks for your reporting!
Currently, the highlight setting for popuped results are fixed.

You can change it at below:

vim-iced/autoload/iced/nrepl/eval.vim

Line 57 in a28cd81

let virtual_text_opt['highlight'] = 'Comment'

But it may be good to add option for modifing the highlight setting.

Thanks @liquidz! I've changed it now.

I like the idea of adding an option for changing the highlight setting for the evaluation results. I suppose that some people might want to be able to configure other colors, such as the stdout popup. (I don't need to change the stdout popup colors.)

@mars0i I added g:iced#eval#popup_highlight option to change the highlight setting to dev branch.

Could you try dev branch?

[mars0i]

Yes, works perfectly for me. Thank you!
