vim-moonfly-colors VS tokyonight.nvim

moonfly

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.

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

Another plugin: https://github.com/bluz71/vim-moonfly-colors which has the moonfly colorscheme which is quite dark.

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

Hello, maintainer of moonfly and nightfly color-schemes speaking.

Maintainer of moonfly and nightfly colorschemes speaking. For a while I have also maintained a simple moonfly-flavoured statusline, previously named moonfly-statusline, now renamed to mistfly-statusline.

I've found a kindred spirit of sort. Most of the dark themes don't work well for me as the blueing black backgrounds, well give me the blues. While my current theme of choice isn't #000 black it is close enough for me. bluz71/vim-moonfly-colors the background is #080808

I like moonfly: https://github.com/bluz71/vim-moonfly-colors

I have several production servers I work on that we use standard vim9 on to edit config files, etc. I love tokyonight.nvim and would love to be able to use it or something as close to it at possible with vim9, but have yet to be able to find anything. Any suggestions?

Tokyonight highlight file almost 1000 Lines

Looks like tokyinight.nvim.

This should come from DiagnosticVirtualTextError and usually the colorscheme you're using sets it. Check the documentation of your colorscheme to see if you can change highlight groups in your colorscheme or try to link the DiagnosticVirtualTextError to a different HighlightGroup or color. The colorscheme you're using seems to be linking DiagnosticVirtualTextError and keywords to the same HighlightGroup. Or you might try a different colorscheme which (hopefully) doesn't have problems like that. One I would suggest is Tokyonight, if you would like to check it out.

I think it 's tokyonight https://github.com/folke/tokyonight.nvim

So for tokyonight.nvim, when that folder is added to the rtp:

Tokyonight in dark mode

https://github.com/folke/tokyonight.nvim - my choice. Usually average 6 hours a day using it. Shell, nvim, etc.
