heirline.nvim VS bufferline.nvim

https://github.com/rebelot/heirline.nvim is a very configurable statusline/tabline/winbar framework

it's by the same author as kanagawa (where the picture is from, I presume), https://github.com/rebelot/heirline.nvim

p.s. author of heirline and kanagawa

I think you should try heirline for statusline. It doesn't provide any default statusline tho. You have to bake your own statusline with heirline by reading their cookbook. Great if you want full control over your statusline.

Along with statusline and winbar, we also now have a custom tabline and statuscolumn (neovim v0.9 only) using heirline.nvim

The most up-to-date and flexible status line plugin left seems to be heirline.nvim. I ported my feline config over and it didn't take too long

OP is asking about the text not the winbar/statusline used to display it. it's the nvim-navic component for heirline users

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.
