yeah, hl_override is not working until i change the theme and it's working now. But the hl_add to nvim-tree is not working, any suggestions?

This still doesn't work. Perhaps because I'm still using v2.0 and there's a mismatch somewhere, but neither the override or the add are functional at all, on MacOS or Windows.

For instance, even the default override which sets Comment to italic has never worked. If I run :Telescope highlights, there is only @comment, which I can't figure out how to set.

Got it working with this:

M.override = {
  Comment = {
    fg = "#999999",
    italic = true,
  },
  ["@comment"] = {
    fg = "#999999",
    italic = true,
  },
  LineNr = {
    fg = "#999999",
  },
  SignColumn = {
    fg = "#999999",
  },
}

There appears to be some cacheing going on here which can muddle things up. If you edit the config directly, it updates in place. I found that when managing dotfiles externally using something like chezmoi, I would need to purge my nvim data folder for the these changes to take hold.

@jamwil just change your base46_cache path? go to your main init.lua file

vim.fn.stdpath("config") .. "/base46_cache"
