Nvim Tree does not respect custom theme

[Dimitar Nizamov]

Description

Colors seem to be off only on the nvim-tree overlay, changing themes/terminals does not help in that, the issue seems to be from nvim-tree as far as I can tell

	vim.cmd.color("catppuccin-macchiato")

  pattern = "lua",
  callback = function()
    vim.lsp.start { cmd = { "lua-language-server" } }
  end,
})
]]

Steps to reproduce

1. nvim -nu nvim-min.lua
2. :NvimTreeToggle
3. Check that the color on the tree is different to the other pane

Expected behavior

Should be the same in my opinion. I can't understand why it is not? Is there a reason?

Actual behavior

[Alexander Courtis]

It appears that catppuccin is setting some specifically different nvim-tree highlights: https://github.com/catppuccin/nvim/blob/main/lua/catppuccin/groups/integrations/nvimtree.lua

nvim-tree will obey those as per :help nvim-tree-highlight

You could Customize catppuccin highlights if they are not to your taste.
