Feel free to open an Issue or PR when something looks broken.

This repo contains a test folder which should make it rather easy to test the theme in an isolated and comfortable environment with autoreloading using nodemon and tmux:

Requirements:

• tmux
• nodemon (npm i -g nodemon)

cd <path-to-theme>/test
./start-tmux

This will start a tmux session containing a watcher and a vim session started with the vim executable script in the test folder. Adjust that if you want to open a different file or whatever you need it to do. The test.vim will set basic options.

I hope this is enough to get you started.

TODO: finish this section

Note!

While the color palette is close to done, it's not quite there yet and I keep tweaking it from time to time as well as the overall highlight groups. So if you're using this, expect some changes to the theme when updating your plugins - although they'll be minor and most will be barely noticeable.

Roadmap

• (wip) Finalize dark color palette
• Include color palette for terminals (Alacritty, Kitty, iTerm2)
• Create light palette
• finalize 256 color palette
• finalize 16 colors support via terminal palette
• Special care for rust
• Special care for golang
• Special care for lua
• Create a docker image for the testing deps

Footnotes

1. Tested with vim 8.2 and nvim 0.6.1 using polyglot and tsserver. ↩

2. That's what I primarily work with, but I'm also looking into rust, and golang. So those will get special care as well. And Lua will be adjusted over time as well, since I finally switched to nvim. ↩

bloop-vim's Issues

Theme using the terminal background.

I don't know if it was the expected behaviour of the theme, but it's using the terminal background instead of the blue background in the README.md screenshot.

Info: Kitty and neovim-0.6.1
