Thanks! I've tried your package out, and it's pretty nice. Especially 
the part where you carefully try to position the popup so it doesn't 
hide the code.

That doesn't fix the problem. Even with your package, it looked fine 
with greenish background for a while, then I switched away from Emacs, 
did some reading in the web browser. Then switched back to Emacs, and 
the background is black now.

I think I'll hold off on trying on integrate it in Company until this 
feature is implemented.

For feature parity with Intellij IDEA and MS VS, we should be able to 
display the list of completions and documentation for the currently 
selected completion in two separate popups:

https://www.jetbrains.com/img/webhelp/idea/constructors_docs_in_completion.png

In Company (as well as the IDEA interface), "show documentation" is a 
separate action which can take some perceptible time, so we can't 
include the documentation in the same popup as completions.

focus-out-hook? That'll be good enough, thanks.
