dashboard-nvim VS bufferline.nvim

I try to setup plugin dashboard-nvim - https://github.com/nvimdev/dashboard-nvim - to have a startup page with recent project list.

It looks like LazyNvim uses dashboard-nvim. (Here's the code in LazyNvim that uses dashboard.)

Hi to everyone. I've literally just started using neovim, but from a couple of days I am struggling with dashboard-nvim customization. I know it is a dumb question (and I apologize in advance for this): I would like to change the first line in the next image, in order to display custom things.

You can use the dashboard.nvim to create a custom startup screen for Neovim. Check out my dashboard config for an example

I have used glepnir-dashboard in neovim. Is there any available Dashboard for vim?

There's also https://github.com/glepnir/dashboard-nvim

glepnir/dashboard-nvim: vim dashboard (github.com) - at a36b32 btw, too lazy to upgrade :P

dashboard-nvim

So I have been looking at goolord/alpha-nvim and glepnir/dashboard-nvim for the startup screen. However, I often do nvim . when working so the startup screen is the directory tree (I use kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua) The start-up screen in the directory tree looks like this.

So, I'm using bufferline and I want to setup some highlight colors based on the current Neovim theme (light or dark). While Neovim is working, if I run :lua print(vim.o.background) effectively gives me light or dark according to the current Neovim theme. BUT, doing so in the plugin's configuration does not work:

if you use bufferline you can override with: lua options = { offsets = { { filetype = "NvimTree", text = "File Explorer", text\_align = "center" } } }

I’m not familiar with Nvchad but I’m sure they’re using some kind of plugin that show buffers as tabs, you could try something like bufferline.nvim

there are many ways to achieve that. i recommend bufferline.

🧩 Works with any plugin. Check Show and Tell for snippets to integrate even better with plugins like neo-tree.nvim, bufferline.nvim

Left and right arrows to switch between buffers. I used to pair this with giving every buffer its own tab, but now I just use Bufferline which functions similarly.

I'm currently using bufferline.nvim with scope.nvim. I made a github repo with the modifications and credits to Everblush, but I'm not sure if it's allowed, since Everblush doesn't have a License. If It's not allowed, then I'll just delete the repo and forke the Everblush repo.

I used bufferline https://github.com/akinsho/bufferline.nvim

I believe this bug was fixed in bufferline.nvim's PR#727.
