How to change background color for file list window or globablly as well as the search input?

Seems changing FzfLuaFzfNormal bg to any color other than none works, but not none which I would expect to make it transparent

Note: bg_float_configured is just a variable that changes based on transparent opt for my theme, either none or c.bg_float
Current highlight group setup with my theme:

    FzfLuaNormal = { fg = c.fg, bg = bg_float_configured },
    FzfLuaBorder = { fg = c.green, bg = bg_float_configured },
    FzfLuaBackdrop = { bg = bg_float_configured },
    FzfLuaPreviewNormal = { bg = bg_float_configured },
    FzfLuaPreviewBorder = { bg = bg_float_configured },
    FzfLuaHelpNormal = { bg = bg_float_configured },
    FzfLuaScrollBorderEmpty = { bg = bg_float_configured },
    FzfLuaScrollBorderFull = { bg = bg_float_configured },
    FzfLuaScrollFloatEmpty = { bg = bg_float_configured },
    FzfLuaScrolFloatFull = { bg = bg_float_configured },
    FzfLuaSearch = { fg = c.fg, bg = bg_float_configured },
    FzfLuaTitle = { fg = c.cyan, bg = bg_float_configured },
    FzfLuaFzfNormal = { bg = bg_float_configured, fg = c.fg },
    FzfLuaFzfCursorLine = { bg = bg_float_configured, fg = c.green },
    FzfLuaFzfPrompt = { bg = bg_float_configured, fg = c.green },
    FzfLuaFzfQuery = { bg = bg_float_configured, fg = c.cyan },
    FzfLuaDirPart = { bg = bg_float_configured, fg = c.comment },

That’s most likely because the highlight @none is cleared (I.e. no bg color) but for fzf colors, the bg color needs an actual value to be sent to fzf’s --color flag, for this (and also “gutter” there’s a better alternative, set the flag directly to -1:

:FzfLua files fzf_colors.bg=-1

If this is what you’re after add this to your setup (with the latest commit):

require('fzf-lua').setup({
  fzf_colors = {
    true, -- auto generate rest of fzf’s highlights?
    bg = '-1',
    gutter = '-1', -- I like this one too, try with and without
  }
})

Yup thats exactly what I want, not going to lie, I get confused with whats the nvim plugin and whats fzf command stuff.

Understandable, if you haven’t used fzf in the shell extensively prior to using fzf-lua it takes a while to understand which parts are fzf-lua/neovim and what parts comes from the external fzf binary.
