Change font color of inactive pane? #33

Closed purplecones closed 2 years ago

Hello! This is exactly the plugin I am looking for.

One question I have though is, how do I change the font color for all inactive panes? My current background is black, and I'd like to change the font to dark gray for all inactive panes. Is this possible?

Are you using Neovim? I will update the plugin soonish to support the new 'winhighlight' setting (https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/6597#issuecomment-300487439), and that allows you to define a highlighting group. Not sure if it overrides syntax highlighting though, but there is an option already to turn syntax highlighting off for dimming.

I'm using normal vim and with syntax highlighting off it works good. I wasn't able to get it working initially so I was trying to change the font color but it would still be a nice addition.

Will this feature not work in regular vim?

No, 'winhighlight' is only for Neovim now - I don't know about if it's planned to be submitted as a patch there, or gets picked up from them.
