Colors problem

[enosair]

I had the same issue as @filipesf.
Finally I found that I forgot to enable truecolor support in vim.

Add set termguicolors into my vimrc did the trick.

Shit. 4 years of using Vim and I did not figure it out until now. :D

I'm not sure if I had the same problem, but for most terminals I've tried this with under Linux (xfce4-terminal, urxvt), the dracula theme did not work.

This fixed it for me:

Add set t_Co=256 before let g:colors_name = 'dracula' on line 21.

Updated the colorscheme today via Plug and got the same problem as @nemanjan00. I'm guessing fairly recent breaking change?

I'm using macvim without GUI.

[spoike]

Seems like this commit breaks it for me: 38d5c9b

ctermbg is set which causes weird background color artifacts (screenshot provided with cowsay from Startify):

Current hacky workaround for me is to set it to NONE after the colorscheme line:

colorscheme dracula
highlight Normal ctermbg=NONE

Problem with this workaround for me is that I have to reload my .vimrc file everytime I restart vim (since the highlight line seems to be ignored on startup for some reason). So I have to do this autocmd as well 😭:

autocmd BufEnter * :highlight Normal ctermbg=NONE ctermfg=NONE

[nemanjan00]

Seams like it is not drawing parts of background. (at least to me)

[filipesf]

Mine looks slightly different as well. Though not that bad.

My guess is that I'm not using any GUI:

Could it be the reason? I'm running Vim straight from iTerm2.

There's any way to enable vim to use GUI colours instead cterm?

In case someone need, here's my vimrc:

@spoike's solution of setting highlight Normal ctermbg=NONE after colorscheme worked for me.

@BourgeoisBear's solution did not.

I had the same problem and it was solved after setting either @spoike's solution or reverting 38d5c9b .

@enosair Thank you!

Спасибо тебе добрый человек, я 2 дня убил на это
