Is this theme incompatible with latest NvChad?

[AnthonyCalandra]

Hi there,

First time nvim user here. Saw this theme and thought it was the perfect Monokai Pro theme plugin! However, I installed this theme the other day and am having a few problems with it.

• My status bar has some icons that don't look quite right.

• The theme doesn't appear in the theme selection window.

• I can't set the theme as my default; I can only load it through the :MonokaiPro command.

custom/chadrc.lua

M.ui = {
  theme = "monokai-pro",
  theme_toggle = { "monokai-pro", "one_light" },

  hl_override = highlights.override,
  hl_add = highlights.add,
}

custom/plugins.lua

  {
    "loctvl842/monokai-pro.nvim",
    lazy = false,
    priority = 1000,
    config = function()
      local monokai = require("monokai-pro")
      monokai.setup({
        transparent_background = false,
        terminal_colors = true,
        devicons = true, -- highlight the icons of `nvim-web-devicons`
        styles = {
          comment = { italic = true },
          keyword = { italic = true }, -- any other keyword
          type = { italic = true }, -- (preferred) int, long, char, etc
          storageclass = { italic = true }, -- static, register, volatile, etc
          structure = { italic = true }, -- struct, union, enum, etc
          parameter = { italic = true }, -- parameter pass in function
          annotation = { italic = true },
          tag_attribute = { italic = true }, -- attribute of tag in reactjs
        },
        filter = "pro", -- classic | octagon | pro | machine | ristretto | spectrum
        inc_search = "background", -- underline | background
        background_clear = {
          --"float_win",
          --"toggleterm",
          --"telescope",
          -- "which-key",
          --"renamer",
          --"notify",
          --"nvim-tree",
          -- "neo-tree",
          --"bufferline", -- better used if background of `neo-tree` or `nvim-tree` is cleared
        },-- "float_win", "toggleterm", "telescope", "which-key", "renamer", "neo-tree", "nvim-tree", "bufferline"
        plugins = {
          bufferline = {
            underline_selected = false,
            underline_visible = false,
          },
          indent_blankline = {
            context_highlight = "pro", -- default | pro
            context_start_underline = false,
          },
        },
        ---@param c Colorscheme
        override = function(c) end,
      })
      vim.cmd([[colorscheme monokai-pro]])
    end,
  },

There aren't instructions for lazy.nvim so I just took the packer example and ported that snippet to lazy. I didn't make any other modifications to the plugin itself. Will I need to port the plugin itself to make use of lazy properly? It seems like it sort of works so I'm not totally sure.

Thanks in advance! :)

Sorry to say this, but I think NvChad override the theme. I never use NvChad before and I'm not intend to look into clearly (It would take me a lot of time to understand their logic).

My status bar has some icons that don't look quite right.

Have just take a look at NvChad, I think they customize their own bar that my theme doesn't support, you can check supported plugins.

The theme doesn't appear in the theme selection window

I think NvChad might override some Highlight Group. I try to make my theme works well with fresh installation of Telescope

Thank you for taking the time to look into it 🫡

I'll create a fork of your repo and see if I can make it work with NvChad 2 then. No promises. :)
