How to change color of the focused list item (title and description)?

[koddr]

Hi,

Can you tell me, how I can change the color of a list item (title and description) that is currently in focus?
I can't find it in the source code.

Can you please give me a hint? 😉

Funny enough I just came here too see if I’m missing something/ someone else has asked this. First issue up top it is 😆 Within the styles which can be set on a list I cannot see one that applies to the list items…

Hi! Rendering (and behavior) for list items is done via the ItemDelegate interface. It can be a little confusing at first, but it allows the list to be very flexible and powerful.

If you just want to alter the default style you could do something like:

import "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/list"

// Create a new default delegate
d := list.NewDefaultDelegate()

// Change colors
c := lipgloss.Color("#6f03fc")
d.Styles.SelectedTitle = d.Styles.SelectedTitle.Foreground(c).BorderLeftForeground(c)
d.Styles.SelectedDesc = d.Styles.SelectedTitle.Copy() // reuse the title style here

// Initailize the list model with our delegate
width, height := 80, 40
l := list.New(listItems, d, width, height)

// You can also change the delegate on the fly
l.SetDelegate(d)

This code would replace this line in the list-default example.

For full control over the way list items are rendered you can also define your own ItemDelegate too (example).

Ahh alright, thank you!
For me this is answered. list/defaultitem.go gives more insight (now that this understood :) ) about how the defaults styles are set up etc.

Cheers!

OMG! Well, of course this is not done in the list style, but in the item style settings! 😞 It might be better to look in the source code, but if there is a way to specify it in the README (for everyone), that would be great.

Thanks, @meowgorithm

Good call. The docs here are still very lacking and it’s something in our to-do list!
