Summary

Hi!

I've installed helix from the source using these commands

git clone https://github.com/helix-editor/helix
cd helix
cargo install --path helix-term --locked
ln -s $PWD/runtime ~/.config/helix/runtime

source: https://docs.helix-editor.com/install.html#building-from-source

Unfortunately some themes like Tokyonight are quite ugly. Does this occur because of a wrong settings ?

Here's my ~/.config/helix/config.toml

theme = "tokyonight"

[editor]
mouse = true
line-number = "absolute"
cursorline = true
auto-completion = true
auto-format = true
auto-info = true
color-modes = true
auto-pairs = true
gutters = ["diff", "diagnostics", "line-numbers", "spacer"]
middle-click-paste = true

[editor.statusline]
left = ["mode", "spinner"]
center = ["file-name"]
right = ["diagnostics", "selections", "position", "file-encoding", "file-line-ending", "file-type", "version-control"]
separator = ""
mode.normal = "NORMAL"
mode.insert = "INSERT"
mode.select = "SELECT"

[editor.lsp]
enable = true
display-messages = true
auto-signature-help = true
display-inlay-hints = true
display-signature-help-docs = true
snippets = true

[editor.whitespace]
render = "all"

[editor.whitespace.characters]
space = "·"
nbsp = ""
tab = ""
newline = ""
tabpad = "·" # Tabs will look like "→···" (depending on tab width)

I'm deeply sorry if someone have already posted an issue about or if I just make a mistake during the installation process or inside the configuration file.

How can I fix it ?

Thank you for reading.
