colorful-winsep.nvim VS Shade.nvim

It’s the nvim-zh/colorful-winsep.nvim plugin.

For anyone interested, [colorful-winsep.nvim](https://github.com/nvim-zh/colorful-winsep.nvim) is plugin that highlight your active window with color separators so that you can see it easily.

https://github.com/nvim-zh/colorful-winsep.nvim I think this will be good.

yeah, there are currently some issue related to floating windows, see also https://github.com/nvim-zh/colorful-winsep.nvim/issues/3

I think this is done by rosstang/dimit.nvim, but might also be levouh/tint.nvim or sunjon/Shade.nvim.

hm, I don't get that behavior on my config. If you're using something like shade.nvim to dim your unfocused splits/windows that's probably setting the background to something besides NONE.

Why not using shade.nvim instead?

Are there plugins with proposals similar to Shade? I would like to know more, any recommendation?

The only thing I cna really add to the conversation is shade.nvim which is a cool concept, but I never really had a ton of luck with it. The difference between that and winhl is that it uses floating windows with alpha so even the foreground text looks properly dimmed.

Something like https://github.com/sunjon/Shade.nvim by default; so a way to handle window behaviours on focus/unfocus/enter/leave/etc. There are just so many edge cases that Shade.nvim is presently missing so it is broke for a ton of things.

Hey. I found it. https://github.com/sunjon/Shade.nvim This plugin was causing it.

Personally, I've had no issues with any emulator (Alacritty, Terminal.app, iTerm2, and previously st), but I also don't care about visual things in my editor. I don't use any icons and I use an unpatched font because, similar to you, I don't really want to go chasing dragons. I had to stop using the shade plugin even though I really liked it because it didn't work well with sessions, so I definitely don't give a lot of priority to visual elements.
