Nvimtree color change does not actually reflect in neovim

[Justas-Lapiene]

Greetings,

I have tried to change the colors of the folders to something a little bit more distinguishable, because strong orange when git dirty against lighter orange is a little bit hard to see. My config is :

return { "Shatur/neovim-ayu", config = function() local colors = require("ayu.colors") colors.generate(false)

require("ayu").setup({
  overrides = function()
    return {
      NvimTreeFolderIcon = { fg = colors.string },
      NvimTreeFolderName = { fg = colors.string },
      NvimTreeGitDirty = { fg = colors.string },
      MatchParen = { fg = colors.string, bg = colors.bg, bold = true },
    }
  end,
})

end, }

If I run :source $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/hitest.vim I can indeed see that the correct highlighting groups have been updated to colors.string, but neovim still reflects their original colors:

Might I be targeting the wrong color groups?

Love the colorscheme btw

It could be the case. Your configuration looks correct. Try asking Nvimtree author. We also may want to adjust colors in the theme by default to make it look nicer.

Understood. Will reach out to the nvimtree author. Do you have any idea when will you be implementing the changes?

Decide on colors and submit a PR with before and after. If it looks objectively nicer (like no duplicated colors), I will merge :)

I just realized I am using neotree and not nvimtree, does that change anything?

If I manage to get this working I will definitely give it a shot

Yes, I don't think that NvimTreeFolderIcon will work for neotree :laughing: Check which colors are used by nvimtree and submit a PR.

figured it out. Thanks for your patience! Will adjust it in the future a bit and raise a PR.

Great!
