Question about t_Co and termguicolors (neovim) #3

Closed Kyle-Thompson closed 6 years ago

Kyle-Thompson commented 6 years ago

I've been trying out this plugin and I've noticed something odd. Previously my init.vim set termguicolors and didn't set t_Co to anything. This worked fine for all the colorschemes I was using at the time. For this colorscheme though it seems like I need to "set t_Co=256" and remove the line that sets termguicolors. What's going on with this plugin to require that? I'm hoping I can find some middle ground between this colorscheme and others so that my settings (t_Co and termguicolors) don't have to change based only on my colorscheme.

I had this issue too, I thought the plugin wasn't working, turns out I had to do the same as you and the colorscheme showed up.

@dylanaraps maybe we should put this in the readme? :)

dylanaraps commented 6 years ago

I totally forgot about this issue. I apologise.

I’ll add this to the wiki/README tomorrow.

The reason wal.vim doesn't work in termguicolors mode is because wal.vim doesn't actually include the hex codes for colors. It just uses the terminal colors. When you set termguicolors you tell neovim to use the guifg and guibg which are unset in the colorscheme.
