[neovim] Background color not displaying in neovim

[dukebarman]

@patrl, try to add set termguicolors in ~/.config/nvim/init.vim

It works for me in iTerm2

[dsifford]

@benknoble That's also what I suspected. I don't believe urxvt has truecolor support.

@loganbickmore can you try unsetting termguicolors and then before loading dracula set let g:dracula_colorterm = 0 and see if that helps?

[stdlo]

@dsifford g:dracula_colorterm = 0 resolved the issue. Thank you for you're help, sorry to start adding comments after the issue was closed.

I believe this to be solved it with this #19.

I also have this problem on xterm. But the neovim background is not that of the terminal either.

[Drowze]

Can confirm

(plus, setting termguicolors simply messes with the colors...)
Tested on gnome-terminal, urxvt, terminator
Ubuntu 16.04
NVIM v0.2.2
Dracula v1.2.7
Plus I am using plug-vim.

[dsifford]

@dukebarman Is correct. Issue boils down to the termguicolors option not pairing well with how we currently are setting highlights.

I'll be working on a more hardened fix for this over the next several days as time allows.

(Just a warning: Things might get a worse before they get better, but just bear with me)

[benknoble]

Related to #59 perhaps ?

[dsifford]

Should be fixed now. Let me know otherwise.

[stdlo]

Issue still exists for me.
urxvt v9.22
dracula/vim v1.4.0
nvim v0.2.2

Shougo/dein.vim for a plugin manager.

[dsifford]

@loganbickmore Do you have set termguicolors enabled?

[stdlo]

@dsifford With set termguicolors enabled vim lights up green. Without it enabled it appears like the original issues screenshot.

[dsifford]

@loganbickmore see #60

@pdaniell were you ever able to figure out what caused that green color?

[benknoble]

I'm convinced the 'green screen' effect is caused by setting termguicolors in a term (like macOS Terminal) that doesn't support truecolor.

[benknoble]

Could also be related to the dracula_colorterm variable as laid out in the help file and over at #65

[dsifford]

@loganbickmore No worries. Glad we could get it sorted out 👍
