I'm using weechat (1.5), and it insists on highlighting mentions of my name in white, which is remarkably hard to see in my "solarized" theme terminals. While I am easily able to configure many of the colors that weechat uses, I can't find the setting that controls the coloring of mentions in chat messages.
You might think that it's weechat.color.chat_highlight, but this controls the color of the sender of the message, rather than the color of my nick in the message itself. Nor is it weechat.color.chat_nick_self.
In fact, looking at /set *color*, the only things that are set to white are:
- weechat.color.chat_buffer
- weechat.color.chat_channel
- weechat.color.chat_prefix_action
- weechat.color.status_name
- trigger.color.regex
- irc.color.topic_new
- relay.color.text_selected
None of these has any impact on my nick color in chat messages. What controls this color?

Ha, I had forgotten that I had
colorize_nicks.pyfloating around! Although...it claims to use nick colors, andweechat.color.chat_nick_colorsdoesn't include "white"...but reinstallingcolorize_nicks.pyseems to have...solved the problem? At least it's no longer highlighting in white. – larsks – 2016-09-06T18:14:45.367I'm sure the answer was valid at the time. This changed at some point. v2.3 default highlights your username. – user1902689 – 2018-11-08T08:50:24.590
@user1902689: It's valid as long as the original question specifically mentions v1.5. However, I cannot reproduce it on v2.3 either – even in highlights, the entire message is still in the same color as before. – user1686 – 2018-11-08T08:56:31.177
@grawity: You're right, original question does mention v1.5. I should have been more clear, sorry. It doesn't highlight my actual username in the message. If someone else types a message with my username, their username is displayed as yellow text on magenta background, and the window/channel name becomes magenta colored if not the active. If I type my own username, no special highlighting happens. No plugins, and only configuration was name/username/server/authentication. Using v2.3 on Arch (I see they aren't making modifications/configurations from upstream.) – user1902689 – 2018-11-08T11:19:14.417
@user1902689: Yes, their username (the 'sender' column) is displayed as yellow text – not yours. That's always been the case in standard Weechat. The plugin that OP had would instead colourize your nickname within the message itself. (Well, it would colourize the nicknames of every person in the channel.)
