vim-dim VS vim-nightfly-colors

I use a slightly improved version of default. https://github.com/jeffkreeftmeijer/vim-dim

You can "inherit" the terminal's colorscheme. :h cterm-colors. An example vim colorscheme that uses this: https://github.com/jeffkreeftmeijer/vim-dim

I achieve that same consistency with virtually zero configuration by simply setting the colors in my terminal and forgetting about it. Stopped all the fiddling with color schemes quite a while ago.

Good explanation: https://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/vim-16-color/

I created a color theme for vim based off vim-dim

I already know about noctu and dim, but they are still too busy for my taste and use weirdly chosen colors. Are there any more?

Hack font and dim/grim.

nightfly

With the recent release of Neovim 0.9, now is right time for my themes moonfly and nightfly to fully embrace Lua and the native Neovim Lua API.

I just added support for LSP semantic tokens to my two themes: moonfly and nightfly.

My own theme, nightfly.

I am trying to install https://github.com/bluz71/vim-nightfly-colors. Iinstalled nightfly using packer.Whenever I set colorscheme to nightfly it defaults to the regular colors. This does not happen with any of the colorschemes that I have installed and additionally I can change to the colorscheme manually from commandline mode.

A nice minor milestone reached today; both my colorschemes, moonfly and nightfly now have exactly 500 GitHub stars each.

As a long time fzf/fzf.vim user the syntax highlighting old by bat for previewing has always irked me. I have used bat's base16 theme which kind-of works ok, but it was still not great when I use my moonfly and nightfly colorschemes. I decided to go down the rabbit hole and do something to somewhat remedy the situation. The fly16 bat theme is the result. Basically it is a derivation of bat's base16 but with colors shifted around to better integrate with moonfly & nightfly, especially when using fzf.vim with previewing enabled (which will use bat if it is installed). Installation instructions are at the repo link above. Note, bat fundamentally uses a Rust'ized version of Sublime's syntax highlighting engine with TextMate grammar, hence, there will not be a perfect match between bat highlighting and Vim/Neovim highlighting. However, I have done tweaks here and there that narrow the difference to within an acceptable range. Some of you may be wondering, why not just use telescope which will actually use Neovim itself ‏‏‎ for previewing. A couple reasons (for me): - I am lazy - I really like fzf - I sometimes use Vim, and fzf.vim works in both Neovim and Vim, whilst Telescope is Neovim only - I use fzf in the command line, hence I also like using it in Neovim as well Cheers
