ayu-vim VS gruvbox.nvim

Yesterday I started moving my config from vimscript to lua. I'm using ayu-vim (and loading it with lazy.nvim, if that matters), and on the Github page it lists a combination of a function and an autocmd to override some theme colors.

I like your idea so much that I'm gonna look into implementing it in the ayu branch I currently maintain (https://github.com/Luxed/ayu-vim). I'm not a fan of it for some reason, but I agree with what it brings. I could argue that the theme has other options anyway, so you'll most likely need somewhere to put those too. But I'll at least look into it

If you want a maintained version of the ayu theme, go here: https://github.com/Luxed/ayu-vim

How to convert a colorscheme plugin e.g. gruvbox.nvim to a basic colorscheme file? Basically, I found that all the default colorschemes on nvim when run as root (e.g. on a server) looks like garbage, to the point that it's difficult to read the text.

I'm a big fan of gruvbox

So, it's the infamous Gruvbox with some mods to make it transparent

i personally use https://github.com/ellisonleao/gruvbox.nvim.

There are also non-purple-ish color schemes coming right after top 5: - sainnhe/everforest - sainnhe/gruvbox-material and ellisonleao/gruvbox.nvim - navarasu/onedark.nvim - marko-cerovac/material.nvim (except one variation) - shaunsingh/nord.nvim

It uses One-Light theme on Mac OS and Gruvbox otherwise. That's because I work on a Mac during the day and my personal machine runs GNU Guix System with XMonad which I have completely themed on Gruvbox.

For conditional loading, I have a colorscheme.lua file in the plugins folder where there's two themes. I intend to load them conditionally based on the hostname, but first I want to set up the gruvbox.nvim theme properly.
