Which colorscheme has the best features and granular customization (default colors aside)? Or a plugin for building custom color schemes?
Big fan of the base16 philosophy

Customize color theme in NvChad
If anyone struggles with this in the feature, what I was looking for was a list like the one in https://github.com/chriskempson/base16/blob/39fb23df970d4d6190d000271dec260250986012/styling.md.

Colorschemes that use treesitter and are 256-color?
Correct. It uses main Base16 styling.
-
Lua function to dump current neovim colorscheme to kitty
Nice. Might be useful for dumping themes for the base16 framework

Dark theme with good coverage
Stuff with base16 support is a good place to look. I've had good luck with Gruvbox (dark, hard).

I contributed to (mostly) 14 top-rated Neovim color schemes. Here are some observations
I am not entirely sure what you mean by "universal format for themes", but there I personally love Base16 convention with its recommendation for styling. This is what I ended up (re)implementing for Neovim: mini.base16. It's been around, so most of instruments should have support for this.

Vim Color Schemes
It’s been mentioned earlier in this thread, but base16 is basically that. I use it, and it’s ok!

Arc-Dark custom bg_selected?
You can write an issue/ask a question here. It's based on the original theme, which is not active since 2017, so I guess the packages in Linux distros are built from that fork.

Is there a Gnome theme that looks like this? I'm looking for an xfce-like theme with thin bezels but can't find any
The theme on this picture is Arc

Dark theme with good coverage

[RANT] Stop complaining that Fedora 36 theme does not match your favorite software
Me just being lazy instead of looking for it myself...how does this work? For example, let's say I want to use the Arc Dark theme on F36/Gnome 42. The theme claims it includes a GTK4 variant (btw, Fedora uses this fork of the Arc theme according to the rpm spec, as the original has been unmaintained for some time). How do I tell Gnome 42 libadwaita apps to use the Dark Arc theme? If it's an export line in my .profile file, then I must have done something wrong, because that didn't work for me. What is this trickery you mention, please do tell!
-
Gnome update broke my themes
If your theme is already configured for libadwaita, it should be possible to use it in place of the default Adwaita by overriding the GTK_THEME variable globally or for each application via *.desktop files. For example, to globally set Arc-Dark (from the Arc theme), add GTK_THEME=Arc-Dark to a config file in $HOME/.config/environment.d for Wayland sessions or $HOME/.xprofile for X11.

I really love GNOME, but custom theme-support seems to be officially over
I'm using the arc-theme, however because almost every native GNOME app is being ported to libadwaita, it doesn't make really sense anymore to offer custom theme support.

On praise of arc-theme and questions for its future in gnome-42
I have been using arc-theme for close to 5 years and even when primary author moved on, it seems to be working well enough via jnsh fork (https://github.com/jnsh/arc-theme). Has gnome authors ever considered adopting an existing theme vs building something from scratch?

Upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04 and now the topbar theme look semi broken
I just upgraded upgraded from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS and my topbar theme is a mix of light and dark, I've been using the "arc-dark" theme. I'm not a linux expert..been using it as workstations at home for a few years... perhaps it is due the theme not being compatible anymore as I found a fork here "https://github.com/jnsh/arc-theme"
