Highlight Groups

nvim-dap-view defines 34* highlight groups linked to (somewhat) reasonable defaults.

If the colors look odd with your colorscheme, consider submiting a PR to add support to nvim-dap-view!

If the links aren't defined at all, no highlighting will be applied. To fix that, you have to manually define the highlight groups (see :help nvim_set_hl()).
