Difficult readability in helm using doom-nord theme #633

What happened?

Hello!

First of all, thanks for this great set of themes!

A group of helm faces in doom-themes make readability very difficult, especially in the doom-nord. Added to that, other common faces are not implemented, causing great disparity with the applied color palette. This is the case for:

  1. helm-select
    image
  2. helm-ff-dotted-directory
    image
  3. helm-header-line-left-margin
    image
  4. helm-ff-invalid-symlink
    image

What did you expect to happen?

I expected a little more contrast, so that the items visualization would not be compromised, and that the other faces mentioned were added to improve support for helm in doom-themes.

So, I expected something like this:

  1. helm-select >> :background region instead of :background selection:
    image
  2. helm-ff-dotted-directory >> :foreground base6 instead of :foreground grey:
    image
  3. helm-header-line-left-margin >> :foreground yellow :weight 'bold:
    image
  4. helm-ff-invalid-symlink >> :foreground red:
    image

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install doom-themes and helm from MELPA;
  2. Configure to use doom-nord and start helm-mode:
(load-theme 'doom-nord t)
(require 'helm)
(require 'helm-config)
(setq helm-echo-input-in-header-line t)
(helm-mode 1)
  1. Start GNU Emacs and use helm.
