nvim-highlite VS gruvbox.nvim

nivm-highlite boasts ease of configuration, but I haven't tried it yet. It shows only dark themes, but most of the themes support `background=light`. However they are kinda low contrast out of the box.

My plugin and mini.colors can also do it.

tl;dr: export your favorite themes to new formats (e.g. wezterm theme), generate new colorschemes from only a palette of colors, update old colorschemes to automatically include support for new plugins (it sometimes makes them faster too). Repo link

Wow. I just spent like an hour the other day converting colortrans to Lua because I wanted my colorscheme generator to work with all systems, but with this I can just remove built-in support for cterm and suggest mini.color for that purpose.

Mine, nvim-highlite

I do wish there was a builtin way to partially link highlight groups. In my colorscheme I opted for this syntax, which resolves self into the batch of groups being defined recursively unwraps highlight links to fetch the true highlight group being referenced.

Shameless self-plug, but nvim-highlite and all of its inheritors support everything from 8-bit to 256-bt and is written using the Neovim API.

Haven't tried newer color schemes on the block, but I have tried a lot and all of them add 100s of ms to startup time. Eventually settled on a copy of https://github.com/Iron-E/nvim-highlite. Another culprit tends to be all the fancy statusline.

Not to self advertise (regulars here know I do that enough), but my colorscheme is made to work in any range of color. If you don't like it, look under the usage section— all of the colorschemes others have made with it also work without termguicolors.

I'm a little puzzled as to why they'd do that. It's completely possible to use the :colorscheme command.

How to convert a colorscheme plugin e.g. gruvbox.nvim to a basic colorscheme file? Basically, I found that all the default colorschemes on nvim when run as root (e.g. on a server) looks like garbage, to the point that it's difficult to read the text.

I'm a big fan of gruvbox

So, it's the infamous Gruvbox with some mods to make it transparent

i personally use https://github.com/ellisonleao/gruvbox.nvim.

There are also non-purple-ish color schemes coming right after top 5: - sainnhe/everforest - sainnhe/gruvbox-material and ellisonleao/gruvbox.nvim - navarasu/onedark.nvim - marko-cerovac/material.nvim (except one variation) - shaunsingh/nord.nvim

It uses One-Light theme on Mac OS and Gruvbox otherwise. That's because I work on a Mac during the day and my personal machine runs GNU Guix System with XMonad which I have completely themed on Gruvbox.

For conditional loading, I have a colorscheme.lua file in the plugins folder where there's two themes. I intend to load them conditionally based on the hostname, but first I want to set up the gruvbox.nvim theme properly.
