custom nvdash with white transparent rectangle

[DelinQu]

Hi siduck,

Thanks so much for developing Nvchad UI! I just updated the Nvchad to the latest version, and found that the Nvdash alpha page changes a lot. So I want roll back to the previous alpha page. With some customization, I got the alpha page below, but I didn't find the API to recover white transparent rectangle and icon position. Could you provide some suggestions, it will help me a lot!

• previous alpha

  

• Now

nvchad doesnt use alpha nvim

[siduck]

and the dashbaord wont center if nvimtree gets opened, if you open it after nvimtree then it will look centered

Thanks for your reply. I want the dashboard to be vertically centered. The dashboard seems to be shifted up too much.

years ago i was unable to fix this issue , let me try agai n

Appreciate it! 🙏

I finally found that the nvim_win_set_cursor API causes the shift 🧐

[siduck]

you sure? nvdash isnt redrawn when nvimtree opens btw

[DelinQu]

This is quite strange. The btn_start_i line doesn't go beyond the screen, so it shouldn't cause the screen to scroll. However, after I commented it out, everything works fine, and the dashboard is perfectly centered.

[siduck]

weird, i tried your header, it was centered by default

the nvdash willshift if you open a new window, cuz its not redrawn whenever win width is resized

[DelinQu]

What is the terminal? it supports image display perfectly.

[siduck]

my custom build of st terminal. It just has the boxdraw patch https://st.suckless.org/patches/boxdraw/

your terminal would have the feature too probably, so the braillie characters are turned into boxes i think

[DelinQu]

Brilliantly cool, both you and ur terminal 🙆‍♂️
