  • What's your neovim colorscheme in 2023 ??
    18 projects | /r/neovim | 11 Feb 2023
    I use base16 to synchronize theming between my shell and nvim. I'm currently switching between base16-gruvbox-dark-hard and base16-dracula (gallery).

  • Is there a natural way to make my vim colorscheme and my terminal emulator colorscheme different on iTerm2?
    2 projects | /r/vim | 3 Sep 2022
    I prefer to use base16-shell to set my terminal colors and then https://github.com/base16-project/base16-vim to automatically apply that colorscheme to vim, keeping them in sync. Solarized is one of the available themes withing base16.

  • Help converting ayu-vim's functions and autocmds to Lua
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 1 Mar 2023
    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
