monokai.nvim VS nvim-ts-rainbow

Hi I'm new to nvim. Trying to use either https://github.com/tanvirtin/monokai.nvim or https://github.com/ofirgall/ofirkai.nvim, but not sure how. I added the lines to packer and init, and it now went from the default black text white background to dark background white text, but it doesn't have the full monokai colors.

tanvirtin/monokai.nvim: Monokai theme for Neovim written in Lua. (github.com) (I used this one to develop Android App before)

Monokai Soda

Github: tanvirtin/monokai.nvim

You could also try some monokai that supports tree-sitter highlights, as this one https://github.com/tanvirtin/monokai.nvim. Or choose some other colorscheme from this huge list https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/wiki/Colorschemes

I use monokai (https://github.com/tanvirtin/monokai.nvim) with a few adjustments, of course.

After running PlugInstall and setting colorscheme to Monokai with tanvirtin/monokai.nvim: Monokai theme for Neovim written in Lua. (github.com)

for the past few days I have been working on a fork to the nvim-ts-rainbow plugin: nvim-ts-rainbow2. I am pretty much done, except for one small issue: finding out the level of a node relative to other container nodes. I know how to determine the level of a node in the tree (just keep counting up from 1 while going through the parents until I hit the root), but that is not what I need.

I noticed that it was abandoned when I was about to update my PR. The PR as it is up there is a mess, so I went through a major refactor and subsequently lost everything like an idiot.

The "look" you're looking for is given by a bunch of plugins: - OneDark.nvim as colorscheme - TS Rainbow for rainbow brackets - BarBar for bufferline - Nvim Devicons and NerdFonts to view file icons - NvimTree as a file manager - Indent Blankline to show indentation guides - CompetiTest with vertical split UI - Feline as statusline plugin. In the screenshot feline is configured with a custom theme. As you can see statusline is different for CompetiTest buffers: a different statusline can be configured for every different filetype using conditional_config.

For highlightning parentheses you could check out nvim-ts-rainbow

Consider using nvim-ts-rainbow to get rainbow parentheses.

To get changed colors for nested brackets, use nvim-ts-rainbow. I think the rest of the comments have you covered on getting colors up to snuff for you. To me it just looks like mismatched colors, not that anything is wrong

I'm happy to say I have fixed [the bug in nvim-ts-rainbow] that caused all JSX props to be highlighted](https://github.com/p00f/nvim-ts-rainbow/issues/118) in extended_mode instead of just highlighting the tag names. It was bugging me for a while when working on React components. Now, only the tag names and angle brackets in JSX elements are highlighted.

Lsp support is pretty good with Neovim, but obviously depends on what Lisp you use. I also like ts-rainbow a lot, but that's literally just visual fluff for brackets
