Extremely hard to notice `listchars`

[ibhagwan]

First, ty for this fantastic colorscheme, love it :-)

As you can see below the current listchars highlights makes it extremley hard to notice some listchars (aside from the EOL):

the right side of the screen is the embark colorscheme with transparent background:

Hello @ibhagwan,

I believe you use Neovim since you are the maintainer of fzf-lua.

The color of listchars is dictated by the Whitespace highlight group, in Neovim, which influences not only listchars but indent-blankline indent markers and highlighting in the QuickFix list. So a very subtle color is a deliberate choice.

Though I can understand your issue; thankfully there is an easy solution, just change the color of Whitespace as follows (after setting colorscheme):

if g:colors_name == 'nightfly'
    highlight! link Whitespace NonText
endif

Add to the end of init.vim or in an after file such as after/plugin/colorscheme.vim (in your Neovim runtime path).

Cheers.

Thank you for the prompt reply @bluz71!

Correct.

Makes sense, I didn’t know indent-blankline uses the same highlights, I recently started using to mini-indentscope from mini.nvim (amazing library btw, the surround plugin is the best I’ve used and the indent scope text object is very useful).

Thank you for the suggestion, will modify my config accordingly :)

No problem.

I am pleased you like the colorscheme. Keep up the good work you do in the open-source community.

Cheers.
