Cursor Highlights being overriden by Lazyvim

[ankardo]

Description

I'm using Cyberdream with LazyVim and Im trying to make the cursor change to match the colors of the current vim mode..
Ex.:
Normal is blue, Insert is green, Visual is purple.
But adding nCursor, iCursor and vCursor in the highlights doesnt change the cursor color, I even tried to use the override function to override the highlights but still it didnt work.

Neovim version?

NVIM v0.10.2 Build type: Release LuaJIT 2.1.1713484068

What should happen?

The cursor would have different colors depending on what mode vim is.

What happened instead?

The cursor is white and no matter what I do it doesnt change.

Your configuration

return {
  "scottmckendry/cyberdream.nvim",
  lazy = false,
  priority = 1000,
  config = function()
    require("cyberdream").setup({
      transparent = true,
      italic_comments = true,
      terminal_colors = true,
      hide_fillchars = true,
      borderless_telescope = false,

      theme = {
        variant = "default",
        colors = customColors,
        highlights = {
          nCursor = { bg = customColors.blue, fg = customColors.black },
          vCursor = { bg = customColors.purple, fg = customColors.black },
          iCursor = { bg = customColors.green, fg = customColors.black },
          CursorLineNr = { fg = customColors.navajo, bold = true },
          Special = { fg = customColors.blue },
          SpecialKey = { fg = customColors.blue },
          Number = { fg = customColors.orange },
          Constant = { fg = customColors.cyan },
          Boolean = { fg = customColors.navajo, bold = true },
        },
      },
    })
    vim.cmd("colorscheme cyberdream")
  end,
}

I'm not familiar with these highlight groups, is there some documentation you can point me to that explains some more about them?

[ankardo]

It is mentioned in the options of the guicursor, gcr
https://neovim.io/doc/user/options.html
I was recently able to make it work by adding this to my options.lua

vim.opt.guicursor = {
"n:block-nCursor",
"i:ver25-iCursor",
"v:block-vCursor",
}

I've been able to get this partially working with cyberdream using the following config:

return {
    "scottmckendry/cyberdream.nvim",
    lazy = false,
    priority = 1000,
    config = function()
        require("cyberdream").setup({
            theme = {
                overrides = function(colors)
                    return {
                        nCursor = { bg = colors.blue },
                        vCursor = { bg = colors.green },
                        iCursor = { bg = colors.red },
                    }
                end,
            },
        })

        vim.cmd("colorscheme cyberdream")
    end,
}

I say partially because Normal and Visual modes change the colour, but Insert mode still looks the same.

Have you changed anything else since this was last working? Terminal, etc? Can you still replicate the issue with a different colorscheme like tokyonight?

[ankardo]

Well, it works fine if I dont use Cyberdream alongside LazyVim.
When I use it with LazyVim, it only changes when I change the cursor options explicitly using vim.opt.guicursor...
I tried to use the overrides function as well and it doesnt work either.

I made some tests with tokyonight with this configuration:

It seems that it doesn’t create the highlight groups properly, because even though you can see that they exist and the colors match the configuration, the cursor remains white no matter what, even when I set vim.opt.guicursor to use these highlight groups
