transparent background (like it is in the screenshot) #9

@noahfrederick lovely theme; thanks for that. I really like it.

I quite envy the transparent background in the screenshot. How did you manage that? If it is a apple terminal app specific thing, would it be possible to add a similar setting as to one provided by solarized theme, where it leaves all / most background colours as NONE.

Thanks

Let me comment on this quickly: that transparency can't be handled in any VIM or shell settings/colours. This is something which is handled by the terminal application (most of them can be configured to have transparent or even blurred backgrounds). However, I don't really understand what you mean by "leaving all/most background colours as NONE".

@tamasgal is right on. In this case, it's a feature of the MacVim GUI (:help 'transparency').

@codemedic, feel free to clarify what you mean. I won't add any settings, though. You can always do

autocmd ColorScheme hemisu hi Normal guibg=NONE ctermbg=NONE

if you want to change the background, which works for any color scheme unlike an ad-hoc setting.

Perfect; thanks @noahfrederick.

That formula worked.
