Reducing the visibility of whitespace characters about nvim-solarized-lua HOT 12 CLOSED

Yeah I will fix visibility options.Also can you try the option NonText instead of WhiteSpace ?

from nvim-solarized-lua.

Also try setting the option before applying the colorscheme.

OK, I've just tried this:

set termguicolors

" Whitespace
set list
lua vim.g.solarized_visibility = 'low'
highlight Whitespace guifg=black

" Initialize
colorscheme solarized

Now the highlight command doesn't work either, not even after sourcing the init file. Other than that, same results.

can you try the option NonText instead of WhiteSpace ?

It doesn't seem to make any difference.

Yup I tried it myself. Thanks for reporting a bug.

In the mean time can you put this command

hi NonText guifg=#073642 guibg=NONE gui=bold cterm=bold

to get low visibility.

from nvim-solarized-lua.

I have made some changes can you check if those work for you?

from nvim-solarized-lua.

It's definitely better, although I would like it to be slightly brighter this time.

For example, here's how it looks with hi NonText guifg=#25454D guibg=NONE gui=bold cterm=bold applied (which still doesn't work unless I manually run :source %, by the way). I would like having this one.

the default option would suit your needs then. Try 'normal' instead of 'low'. I have my config written in lua so in my config.

vim.g.solarized_statusline = 'flat'
vim.g.solarized_termtrans = 0
vim.g.solarized_diffmode = 'low'
vim.g.solarized_visibility = 'low'
vim.cmd('colorscheme solarized')
vim.cmd('hi NonText guifg=#25454D guibg=NONE gui=bold cterm=bold')

This works fine on my neovim. You can try this in vimscript if it doesn't work then I guess it is a neovim issue not a colorscheme one.

from nvim-solarized-lua.

Also can try to put your settings in $HOME/.config/nvim/after/syntax?
EDIT:-
I looked up the problem you are having with 'hi' command is an issue with vim too. The only solution I read was that you have to write your own colorscheme. It is weird because the above lua snippet from my config works.
So there is nothing I can do about the hi command issue atleast for now.

I already have. Something between normal and low would be the ideal choice for me, like what I mentioned above. (Although if you only want to use the base colours defined in Solarized, that's also understandable.)

I have my config written in lua so in my config.

vim.g.solarized_statusline = 'flat'
vim.g.solarized_termtrans = 0
vim.g.solarized_diffmode = 'low'
vim.g.solarized_visibility = 'low'
vim.cmd('colorscheme solarized')
vim.cmd('hi NonText guifg=#25454D guibg=NONE gui=bold cterm=bold')

I've put it into init.test.lua, made some modifications, and run nvim -u ~/.config/nvim/init.test.lua --noplugin init.test.lua. Here are the results:

Oh… so, I guess I'll have to edit the files of nvim-solarized-lua and hardcode the values myself (or make do with the default options). Not exactly what I was looking for, but at least I feel I'm closer now, so, thank you!

@maxigaz you can try something like this modify the colorscheme.

Thank you for the advice! I'm not very familiar with creating and using augroups, but I've just tried the following autocmds, and they seem to work well (replacing Whitespace with NonText has the same results for me).

vim.cmd([[
autocmd BufEnter * hi Whitespace guifg=#25454D guibg=NONE gui=bold cterm=bold
autocmd BufEnter * hi IndentBlanklineChar guifg=#25454D gui=nocombine
]])

The second one using the highlight group IndentBlanklineChar was necessary for customising the looks of indent-blankline.nvim. It's yet another mystery, because according to the plugin's manual, it "takes guifg color from 'Whitespace'" by default, so, if I understand it well, hi IndentBlanklineChar should be redundant. But anyway, I'm happy that it works finally.

Thank you again!
