Nvim-tree symlinked directories too dark

[d-miketa]

Hi,

Really enjoying the collection of themes! Any chance you could increase the contrast on symlinked directories in nvim-tree?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm might've forgot to set this highlight, I'll take a look

Hey, I don't think you forgot to set anything; separate treatment of symlinked and empty folders is just not offered by Nvim-tree. I opened a feature request some time ago (and forgot about it!): https://github.com/kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua/issues/504

I'd still like to override that highlight group, at least locally, but the async loading of plugin themes seems to be interfering with that plan. Would you consider adding a way to tinker with specific highlight groups, perhaps by merging default and user-defined colour assignments?

Or perhaps I'm doing something wrong, since Folded doesn't change either despite synchronous loading (in the editor group)?

Here's what I have in Packer. The config.colours module is set up after yours. Manually running :lua require'config.colours'.set()<CR> correctly sets all custom highlights.

        use {'shaunsingh/nord.nvim',
            config = function()
                require'nord'.set()
                require'config.colours'.set()
            end
        }

By the end of today I'm removing the async thing, since its causing more trouble without a noticible performance gain. After that you should be able to set the highlight groups as you usualy would

Thanks – works great now! :)

No problem! Feel free to to open another issue (or reopen this one) once the highlight gets added to NvimTree.
