256 colorspace
If using a tinted terminal theme designed to keep the 16 ANSI colors intact (a "256" variation) and have sucessfully modified your 256 colorspace with tinted-shell.This will cause vim to access the colors in the modified 256 colorspace. Please do not enable this simply because you have a 256 color terminal as this will cause colors to be displayed incorrectly.
you'll need to add the following to your ~/.vimrc
before the
colorsheme declaration.
Vim
let tinted_colorspace=256 " Access colors present in 256 colorspace
Neovim (lua)
-- Access colors present in 256 colorspace
vim.g.tinted_colorspace = 256
Background transparency
If you're using a terminal with an opacity of < 1
, you'll notice that
tinted-vim doesn't respect this transparency by default. You can enable
transparent backgrounds with tinted-vim by adding the following settings
to your vim/neovim setup.
Vim
Add the following variable to your ~/.vimrc
before your colorscheme
declaration.
let tinted_background_transparent=1 " Make vim background transparent to work alongside transparent terminal backgrounds
Neovim (lua)
Add the following to your lua setup before your colorscheme declaration.
-- Make vim background transparent to work alongside transparent terminal backgrounds
vim.g.tinted_background_transparent = 1
Troubleshooting
There is a script to help troubleshoot colour issues called colortest
available in the tinted-shell repository.
If you are using a ISO-8613-3 compatible terminal (vim docs,
neovim docs), and you see a green or blue line, try to enable
termguicolors
:
set termguicolors
Green line numbers
If your Vim looks like the above image you are using a 256 terminal
theme without setting let tinted_colorspace=256
in your ~/.vimrc
.
Either set let tinted_colorspace=256
in your ~/.vimrc
or use a non
256 terminal theme.
Blue line numbers
If your Vim looks like the above image you are setting let tinted_colorspace=256
in your ~/.vimrc
but either not running
tinted-shell or tinted-shell is not working for your terminal. Either
ensure tinted-shell is working by running the colortest
available
in the tinted-shell repository or not setting let tinted_colorspace=256
in your ~/.vimrc
.
Customization
If you want to do some local customization, you can add something like
this to your ~/.vimrc
:
function! s:tinted_customize() abort
call Tinted_Hi("MatchParen", g:tinted_gui05, g:tinted_gui03, g:tinted_cterm05, g:tinted_cterm03, "bold,italic", "")
endfunction
augroup on_change_colorschema
autocmd!
autocmd ColorScheme * call s:tinted_customize()
augroup END
