Currently there's an option to run a shell command when calling dark-notify directly. Is that possible when inside neovim?

I've got dark-notify setup like thus:

  local dn = require('dark_notify')
  dn.run({
    schemes = {
      dark  = {
        colorscheme = My_theme_dark,
        lightline = My_themel_dark
      },
      light = {
        colorscheme = My_theme_light,
        lightline = My_themel_light
      }
    };
  })

  -- Draw the blinds for now
  dn.set_mode("dark")
  -- Swap to whatever it isn't currently
  dn.toggle()

  -- Match the system
  dn.update()

  -- Stop reacting to changes
  dn.stop()

  -- Start reacting again, with previous settings
  dn.run()

With the above lines, loading and automatic switching of themes work well. But (neo)vim opens up to an empty screen. The intro isn't shown. Admittedly, this is a minor issue; still annoying though.

Actual result: empty screen; no intro info.

Expected result: intro info (as shown if running command intro).

Any pointers?

Pretty much the title and if yes, would this still work if nvim was running inside tmux?

Amazing little thing you have got here, thanks a lot! I am wondering if you are planing to move swift branch forward, as I understand it would allow dark-notify to also run on apple chips computers.

Anything I could do to help?

Simple test, something like

dark-notify -c 'touch' &

Change system theme while this is running, file is not created. But when back into fg, then you see the file dark or light appear. I would like this to work even in background process to change my kitty theme.

When macOS is in dark mode and I invoke nvim, the screen flashes white.

However, if I have dn.update() in my init.vim, the opposite happens, i.e. in light mode the screen flashes black.

This only happens with colorscheme toast, presumably because it allows set background=light/set background=dark

Reproduce

1. Install the toast colorscheme
2. Switch to dark mode in macOS
3. Run nvim

First, thanks for this great plugin. I very much enjoy not having to manually toggle all vim instances when the system mode changes!

Lately I've came across at least three plugins that does something with text highlighting that does not work super great with dark-notify.

• hlargs.nvim/ Highlight not working if dark-notify is enabled. There was a workaround found at m-demare/hlargs.nvim#37 (comment) which is to set this other plugin up in the onchange method.
• nvim-cursorline Highlight is not working when dark-notify is enabled. However the above trick of loading this plugin in the onchange method did not work in this case.
• vim-illuminate Same as above; the trick did not work.

Would it be possible to make this plugin more compatible by default with other plugins? Or would you have an idea on how to work around using any of the two latter plugins above together with dark-notify?

I'm on Neovim v0.7.2.

Thanks in advance!

I would like to query the current theme and not listen to changes. Is that possible?
