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?

Gruvbox Theme for Visual Studio
1 project | /r/PowerPlatform | 6 Nov 2023

Hey programmers - I was recently looking for a gruvbox theme for Visual Studio - but found the current one offered on the store not to my taste, (and not technically following the design philosophy of the original gruvbox theme) so I decided to make my own!

Gruvbox Material is a modified version of Gruvbox, the contrast is adjusted to be softer in order to protect developers' eyes. https://github.com/sainnhe/gruvbox-material
Navi: your NeoVim assistant. I made a plugin based on the idea of "natural language first based development". We've got scaffolding of code, edit selected code, review selected code and an in editor chat. Still got ways to go, but the outline is there and it kinda works! :D My first go at plugins

Dark Side of the Moon - Gruvbox Edition [3840 x 2160] [OC]
1 project | /r/wallpaper | 19 Apr 2023

Native 4K minimalist/modernist take on the classic Dark Side of the Moon album cover, using the colors from the gruvbox palette by morhetz. I wanted something like this for my own desktop, couldn't find it anywhere. So I made it myself and figured maybe someone else might like it.

Why using treesitter based colorschemes yield these background colorings?

gruvbox plugin - necessary ?
2 projects | /r/vim | 6 Jan 2023

I am decluttering my .vimrc script and need your advice. Years ago I installed (gruvbox)[https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox] and I am not sure if it is necessary to use this plugin. Maybe I installed it because of some highlight issues.
