Alduin VS vim-zoom

Please give the author a star if you like it :) (like I did) Credit: AlessandroYorba/Alduin

Dracula is a fine theme, however, I feel like it's more convenient than it is pretty. I admire Dracula, Nord, and Gruvbox and how committed they are to their own aesthetics - my personal favorite, similar to Gruvbox, is Alduin[0] but sadly it's for Vim only.

I only wish popular themes didn't feel like they had to use every primary color for the text. I wish we took the popular themes and made them even more opinionated, fewer colors with greater emphasis. At the end of the day most themes nowadays are just different shades of all rainbow text over your choice of a light or dark background. Dark or light... It reminds me of that theory about how early humans, before having words for different colors, only had light and dark to describe things.

Does anyone have any recommendations for opinionated color schemes with limited palettes with emphasis on particular colors instead of just dark/light?

Thanks! I ended up going with alduin. Making a color scheme is just too hard T.T

hey sorry for the late reply it's called Alduin

There are a bunch of great answers here already but I'll throw a plugin suggestion into the mix https://github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-zoom

vim-zoom does exactly that

You are looking for a plugin like vim-zoom

Also, I use this extension vim-zoom which simply adds a keybinding to zoom windows. In the readme it says that it can be used on statuslines:

So its like https://github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-zoom this but lua?

You should know that some variable names in vimscript are not valid in lua. We still have access to them but we can't use the dot notation. For example, vim-zoom has a variable called zoom#statustext and in vimscript we use it like this.
