@ngortheone If you are using neovim there is an easy way to do this as most neovim supported colorschemes have terminal colors defined (for neovim terminal)
these can be read using the following global var: g:terminal_ansi_colors
when using this theme this returns:
['#fbf8ef', '#d26487', '#35a8a5', '#b89f33', '#6981c5', '#a15ea7', '#288668', '#504259', '#a8a4ae', '#f2241f', '#67b11d', '#b1951d', '#3a81c3', '#6c3163', '#24775c', '#655370']
These colors map to the 16 colors that are defined in your alacritty.yml
colors:
# Default colors
primary:
background: ''
foreground: ''
# Colors the cursor will use if `custom_cursor_colors` is true
cursor:
text: ''
cursor: ''
# Normal colors
normal:
black: 'ansi_color_0'
red: 'ansi_color_1'
green: 'ansi_color_2'
yellow: 'ansi_color_3'
blue: 'ansi_color_4'
magenta: 'ansi_color_5'
cyan: 'ansi_color_6'
white: 'ansi_color_7'
# Bright colors
bright:
black: 'ansi_color_8'
red: 'ansi_color_9'
green: 'ansi_color_10'
yellow: 'ansi_color_11'
blue: 'ansi_color_12'
magenta: 'ansi_color_13'
cyan: 'ansi_color_14'
white: 'ansi_color_15'
Simply replace the ansi_color_x
with the corresponding index in the array above.
Now when it comes to the background, foreground, and curusor colors those you can obtain by looking at the relevant corresponding vim highlight groups:
background => :hi Normal
(look at the guibg
value and copy paste it)
foreground => :hi Normal
(look at the guifg
value and copy paste it)
cursor => :hi Cursor
Hope this helps.
@alexanderjeurissen thanks!
As I understand this method can be applied to any vim theme to get alacritty theme out of it, right?
Yes that is right, as long as the author of the colorscheme has defined colors for neovim's terminal
mode.
I'm not sure if this also applies to Vim8
Hi @liuchengxu
Thanks for awesome work. I enjoy using this theme with vim.
Could you please create light and dark color themes for Alacritty terminal?
