I have been using NeoVim (.dotfiles) for almost a year. I even made a personalized color scheme NeoSolarized.nvim. I sometimes use VSCode for Flutter (of course with Vim keybindings). Using NeoVim feels like I have superpowers.

I use NeoSolarized.nvim

Whilst looking for a new light colour scheme, I came across the everforest vim colour scheme but couldn’t find a good neovim/Lua port for it, so I decided to make one! I’ve got quite a lot of plugins supported, having borrowed a few definitions from the excellent NeoSolarized.

Terminal - Kitty with NeoSolarized-dark theme and 0.8 opacity

So the idea came from NeoSolarized. I started looking for different sulotions in lua for my NeoVim setup and came up with my first theme/plugin NeoSolarized.nvim. I'm just love transparent themes and I optimised it for full transparency.

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.
