Extra cursor not showing correctly

I have a problem with extra cursor not showing correctly

[mg979]

The VM_Mono highlight group links to ErrorMsg by default, but some colorschemes use a normal background for it. Try to link it to something else, or do something like

hi! VM_Mono guibg=Grey60 guifg=Black gui=NONE

Thx for answer but didn't really make any difference for me.

Here is my config if its helps nvim

Did you update the plugin?

[mg979]

Please update again and make sure you set the highlight group after loading the color scheme (otherwise the group will be cleared and default value will be used).

Also, the color Orange60 doesn't exist (Orange does).

Hey folks. I'm just trying out Neovim via the LazyVim setup and miss terribly the multiple cursors features of VsCode, hence why I ended up here.

This plugin seems to be just what I was looking for, but at least with the default color schemes (tokyonight and catppuccin) it is very hard to see where the multiple cursors are and what's highlighted.

I wonder if there's a recommended color scheme to use this plugin or how I could configure it to be more readable?

I have tried the suggested hi! VM_Mono guibg=Grey60 guifg=Black gui=NONE, but didn't seem to have any effect.

Thanks.

I had the same issue, looking into the code I found this:
https://github.com/mg979/vim-visual-multi/blob/master/plugin/visual-multi.vim#L42

Changing VM_Cursor rather than VM_Mono had the intended effect, allowing me to see the cursors with the tokyonight theme.

Here's my lazy config:

	{ 
		"folke/tokyonight.nvim",
		priority = 1000,
		init = function()
			vim.cmd.colorscheme("tokyonight-night")

			vim.cmd.hi("Comment gui=none")
			vim.cmd.hi("VM_Mono guibg=Grey60 guifg=Black gui=NONE")
			vim.cmd.hi("VM_Cursor guibg=Grey60 guifg=Black gui=NONE")
		end,
	},
