    ZLS_COLORS and ZLS_COLOURS are bot set and working (AFAIK...) and
zsh/complist is loaded:

    $ zmodload 
    zsh/compctl
    zsh/complete
    zsh/complist
    zsh/main
    zsh/zle

    Hey, that's weird :((( I'm testing again completion and *all*
colorable files are colored *except* directories :( I mean, if I use
default completion (not my widget and function), directories are
colored, otherwise they aren't, that's the only difference :?

    OK, that's what I assumed from what I read in _setup,
_main_complete and others. BTW, my ZLS_COLORS parameter is:

no=00:fi=00:di=01;37:ln=01;36:pi=05;33:so=01;35:bd=01;33\
  :cd=01;33:or=01;05;31:ex=01;32:*.tar=01;34:*.tgz=01;34\
  :*.z=01;34:*.Z=01;34:*.gz=01;34:*.bz2=01;34:

    ZLS_COLOURS is exactly the same. If I change the color for the
'di' entry, the default completion shows directories with the
appropriate color, but my widget doesn't, it doesn't color them. The
same if I remove the 'di' entry: the default completion colors them
red, mine doesn't color at all. Known bug in my version?

    Thanks again Bart, you're so kind :)
