Right now, they are so bright in my opinion that it's distracting.

How can I make them less visible?

Can you add color column support in a cleanish looking way?

I think currently color column does not work

Hello there, your theme works well with most of the heirline components actually but there is one that caught my eye, the mode indicators does not change color with this theme, I tired to implement it myself but I clearly don't know what I'm doing :)

Really loving this theme so far- any chance of adding a matching tmux theme?

Question or Suggestion

Are there any plans on implementing options for controlling brightness like how tokyonight.nvim does.
Altough it is just my perspective but I feel like #ffffff is way too bright for foreground. Is there any change of adding a setting to control the brightness of the white color in the theme.

Question or Suggestion

Hello,
really Thank you for the theme!

I'm wondering if there is a simple way to switch the theme variant.

maybe using set background=light

Question or Suggestion

The colors in a tsx file (react + typescript) looks very dull and "empty".

Please add support for this.

Example

Question or Suggestion

Can support for entire mini.nvim suite and fzf-lua be added. Currently this theme doesn't support mini.statusline, mini.indentscope afaik.

Question or Suggestion

Love the theme, just curious on the comments. When I comment I get what look like highlights which look semi-random...but also seem to be highlighting some key words. If this is intended am I missing some config to stop the highlights? Cheers.

Currently, NormalFloat is set to the normal fg/bg colours. This causes nvim-treesitter-context lines not to be highlighted:

Appearance

Use the highlight group TreesitterContext to change the colors of the context. Per default it links to NormalFloat.

Question or Suggestion

I use Nvchad. Does this work with their theming engine Base46, or do you need a port?

Nvim is deprecating VertSplit and moving to WinSeparator for borders in 0.10. By default, WinSeparator links to normal which does not look great for most colorschemes.

Hello @ianchesal

I came across a recent commit to your dotfiles repo via GitHub search this morning that caught my interest:

ianchesal/dotfiles@329fa78

I was wondering if I could get your thoughts and feedback. Is there anything you feel was missing from the colour scheme? Anything you would change or not quite right?

Appreciate your time!

Cheers,
Scott

Question or Suggestion

To keep better separation in the file structure I thought of something to help separate highlight groups.

• Right now:

# ./lua/cyberdream
├── colors.lua
├── config.lua
├── extra/
├── init.lua
├── theme.lua
├── treesitter.lua
└── util.lua

• What I propose:

# ./lua/cyberdream
├── colors.lua
├── config.lua
├── extra/
├── init.lua
├── groups/
├──├──base.lua
├──├──treesitter.lua
├──├──telescope.lua
├──├──lsp.lua
├── treesitter.lua
├── theme.lua
└── util.lua

With this I think it will reduce the theme.lua file to simply hook up the highlight groups and change the palette variant and apply the config.theme options, so each group has it separation.

Example:

-- ./lua/cyberdream/groups/telescope
local function callback(opts)
  local t = util.get_palette()
  local borderless_telescope = opts.borderless_telescope
  local telescope_style = ""
  if type(opts.borderless_telescope) == "table" then
    borderless_telescope = not opts.borderless_telescope.border
    telescope_style = opts.borderless_telescope.style
  end
  local highlights = {
    TelescopeBorder = { fg = t.bgHighlight },
    TelescopePromptTitle = { fg = t.blue },
    TelescopeResultsTitle = { fg = t.cyan },
    TelescopePromptPrefix = { fg = t.pink },
    TelescopePreviewTitle = { fg = t.magenta },
    TelescopeSelection = { bg = t.bgHighlight },
    TelescopePromptCounter = { fg = t.pink },
    GrappleTitle = { fg = t.pink },
    GrappleFooter = { fg = t.grey },
    GrappleBorder = { fg = t.cyan },
  }
  if borderless_telescope then
    vim.tbl_deep_extend("force", highlights, {
        TelescopeBorder = { fg = t.bgAlt, bg = t.bgAlt },
        TelescopeNormal = { bg = t.bgAlt },
        TelescopePreviewBorder = { fg = t.bgAlt, bg = t.bgAlt },
        TelescopePreviewNormal = { bg = t.bgAlt },
        TelescopeResultsBorder = { fg = t.bgAlt, bg = t.bgAlt },
        TelescopeResultsNormal = { bg = t.bgAlt },
        TelescopeResultsTitle = { fg = t.bgAlt, bg = t.bgAlt },
        GrappleNormal = { bg = t.bgAlt }
        GrappleBorder = { fg = t.bgAlt, bg = t.bgAlt }
        GrappleTitle = { fg = t.bgAlt, bg = t.cyan }
    })
    if telescope_style == "nvchad" then
      vim.tbl_deep_extend("force", hihglights, {
        TelescopePreviewTitle = { fg = t.bgAlt, bg = t.green, bold = true },
        TelescopePromptBorder = { fg = t.bgHighlight, bg = t.bgHighlight },
        TelescopePromptNormal = { fg = t.fg, bg = t.bgHighlight },
        TelescopePromptPrefix = { fg = t.red, bg = t.bgHighlight },
        TelescopePromptTitle = { fg = t.bgAlt, bg = t.red, bold = true },
      })
    else
      vim.tbl_deep_extend("force", hihglights, {
         TelescopePreviewTitle = { fg = t.bgAlt, bg = t.green },
         TelescopePromptBorder = { fg = t.bgAlt, bg = t.bgAlt },
         TelescopePromptNormal = { fg = t.fg, bg = t.bgAlt },
         TelescopePromptPrefix = { fg = t.red, bg = t.bgAlt },
         TelescopePromptTitle = { fg = t.bgAlt, bg = t.red },
      })
    end
  end
  return highlights
end

return callback

-- ./lua/cyberdream/theme.lua
local opts = config.options

local theme = {}

theme.highligths = util.get_hl_groups(opts)

if opts.hide_fillchars then
  vim.opt.fillchars:append({
    horiz = " ",
    horizup = " ",
    horizdown = " ",
    vert = " ",
    vertleft = " ",
    vertright = " ",
    verthoriz = " ",
    eob = " ",
  })
else
  vim.opt.fillchars:append({
    eob = " ",
  })
end

-- Use #000000 for full transparency
if opts.transparent then
  theme.highlights.NotifyBackground = { bg = "#000000" }
end

local overrides = opts.theme.overrides or opts.theme.highlights
if type(overrides) == "function" then
 overrides = overrides(t)
end
-- Override highlights with user defined highlights
theme.highlights = vim.tbl_deep_extend("force", theme.highlights, overrides or {})

return theme

Of course, util functions that I wrote in the examples had to be implemented. Or pass the opts necessary and return a table instead of a callback function

Hi,

I prefer to maintain consistent color schemes across my terminal applications. Below are the color schemes derived from Cyberdream for Alacritty (a terminal emulator) and Zellij (a terminal multiplexer):

• Alacritty Color Scheme
• Zellij Color Scheme

It might be beneficial to provide users with an official version of the Cyberdream color scheme for various terminal applications, similar to what is done with Catpuccin.

When I try to search and replace: :%s/old/new/gc - all texts with "old" are highlighted as usual but the current "old" text is no different which means I have no idea which current "old" text i want to replace or not.

The second highligted text should be of different color because that's the current one.

I'm using LazyVim Distro if that helps.

Description

If you compare both the themes, you can see that vim.o.wrap differs between both the themes probably due to a missing highlight group for treesitter. Do you know which highlight group could this be.

Neovim version?

NVIM v0.11.0-dev-313+gfc9b70826

What should happen?

In vim.o.wrap, o.wrap part should be highlighted as well.

What happened instead?

In vim.o.wrap, o.wrap part should was not highlighted.

4. Kubectl.nvim

Question or Suggestion

I'm currently using tokyonight and it automatically switches between day and night themes based on vim.o.background being dark or light. This is very helpful in combination with tools that switch colorschemes based on system preferences.

For example, I have a system daemon that sends SIGUSR1 to all running neovim instances and have this lua code that switches the vim background:

local os_is_dark = function()
  return (vim.call(
    'system',
    [[echo $(defaults read -globalDomain AppleInterfaceStyle &> /dev/null && echo 'dark' || echo 'light')]]
  )):find('dark') ~= nil
end

local is_dark = function()
  return vim.o.background == 'dark'
end

local set_from_os = function()
  if os_is_dark() then
    vim.o.background = 'dark'
  else
    vim.o.background = 'light'
  end
end

local init = function()
  set_from_os()

  vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('Signal', {
    pattern = '*',
    callback = function()
      set_from_os()
    end,
  })
end

local toggle = function()
  if is_dark() then
    vim.o.background = 'light'
  else
    vim.o.background = 'dark'
  end
end

return {
  toggle = toggle,
  init = init,
}

Cyberdream currently doesn't handle the color switch based on the background color. There now is a CyberdreamToggleMode vim cmd that toggles the theme that I can try to reimplement that in my lua code above to explicitly switch to dark or light colors, but ideally cyberdream could handle this on its own based on the vim.o.background value.

Description

Today I just update the cyberdream colorscheme, and it tells me it has break changes. When I restart nvim there is an error message like this:

Hi @scottmckendry

Is there a way to also support TUI like Neovide?

Using Neovide, the telescope UI looks very messy with the borders.

Compared to neovim:

Add/update readmes for each cyberdream extra with install instructions and any other relevant info.

As of v2.0.0, if you're using the cyberdream theme for lualine, you might have received the following error:

To fix this, replace:

local cyberdream = require("lualine.themes.cyberdream")

In your lualine.nvim config with:

local cyberdream = require("lualine.themes.cyberdream").get_theme()

As per https://github.com/nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim/wiki/Writing-a-theme

Love the theme! I've tried this on two machines now and notice that the Telescope background is not transparent. I'm not sure if this is by design or not, since the LazyGit background is transparent, and it is also a supported plugin. Should there be configuration changes needed to make Telescope background transparent? I'm using almost LazyVim defaults with the only change to my Telescope config being the following:

  {
    "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
    -- opts will be merged with the parent spec
    opts = {
      defaults = {
        file_ignore_patterns = { ".git/", "node_modules", "poetry.lock" },
        vimgrep_arguments = {
          "rg",
          "--color=never",
          "--no-heading",
          "--hidden",
          "--with-filename",
          "--line-number",
          "--column",
          "--smart-case",
          "--trim",
        },
      },
      extensions = {
        fzf = {},
        live_grep_args = {},
      },
    },
  }

Hi so I love this theme, thank you. I also really like the telescope picker colors, I find that black is perfectly black without being 'one hundred percent black', and the red and green for 'find' files' and 'files preview' are perfectly matched to it, too. I can't help but wonder if that would be a good color theme in it's own right, of course with some other colors of the same hue thrown in, too? Just a thought, sorry if this is not the place for it. And I really like the color schemehere, too!

I am currently using kickstart.nvim and a beginner to the neovim world and I am fascinated with this config. Can you help me out on how to install this? I have been trying to use the instructions you provided in my init.lua but that doesn't seem to work. It will be really great if you can provide additional directions for installation in the README.md or comment on this issue.

Thank you

I'm opening this issue to see if there's any intention to add more colors and highlighting groups to cyberdream.
I'm talking mostly from a programmer's perspective and am concerned about both treesitter hl groups like constant, variable etc., as well as LSP semantic highlight groups.
I'm no expert in this, I just browsed tokyonight's theme.lua and there's a lot there, perhaps even too much. I'm also not sure if all this highlighting doesn't conflict with cyberdream's high contrast goal. So I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks!

Hi, I would like to ask if it is possible to change the LineNumber Color away from bgHighlight?
Reason is, the line numbers are very thin and you can see them best with very high contrasts like black and white for example. In order to see the highlighted text, highlights needs to be darker then the text but brighter then the background which gives that colorgrade in which the thin linenumbers get hard to see (at least for me).

Otherwise, I really like the theme! Thank you for the great work!

Hi everyone,

I'll like to use this awesome theme, but current I use Packer to manager my plugins, so trying to do that don't work:

    use {
        'scottmckendry/cyberdream.nvim',
        lazy = false,
        priority = 1000
    }

after/plugin/colors.lua

require("cyberdream").setup({
    -- Enable transparent background
    transparent = true, -- Default: false

    -- Enable italics comments
    italic_comments = true, -- Default: false

    -- Replace all fillchars with ' ' for the ultimate clean look
    hide_fillchars = true, -- Default: false

    -- Modern borderless telescope theme
    borderless_telescope = true, -- Default: true

    -- Set terminal colors used in `:terminal`
    terminal_colors = true, -- Default: true

    theme = { -- Default: nil
        variant = "light", -- Default: "deafult" (dark)
        highlights = {
            -- Highlight groups to override, adding new groups is also possible
            -- See `:help highlight-groups` for a list of highlight groups

            -- Example:
            Comment = { fg = "#696969", bg = "NONE", italic = true },

            -- Complete list can be found in `lua/cyberdream/theme.lua`
        },

        -- Override a color entirely
        colors = {
            -- For a list of colors see `lua/cyberdream/colours.lua`
            -- Example:
            bg = "#000000",
            green = "#00ff00",
            magenta = "#ff00ff",
        },
    },
})

Result:

I use the default and most simple configuration, maybe losing something in the config.

Thanks!!

I think we need to fix this highlights for commented out lines.

Question or Suggestion

Now:

Should looks like:

I'm using vim-go, when I execute :GoDoc, the border is invisible, how can i fix this ?

I was wondering about enabling Markdown to render strings appropriately that are in italics, bold, bold/italics? Is there a way to configure this currently (I wasn't seeing one but I could have missed it) or how hard would it be to add that in?

I love what this theme does for styling headers and I see that it bolds them already, but getting that added to strings with emphasis would really help, especially when conceal is enabled so I'm not seeing it unless my cursor is on that line.

Example strings

*italics string*
**bold string**
***bolded italics string***

After installing cyberdream to my LazyDistro:

    config = function()
        require("cyberdream").setup({
            -- Recommended - see "Configuring" below for more config options
            transparent = true,
            italic_comments = true,
            hide_fillchars = true,
            borderless_telescope = true,
            terminal_colors = true,
        })
        vim.cmd("colorscheme cyberdream") -- set the colorscheme
    end,
}

I get this warning everything I open up nvim:

   Warn  22:17:46 notify.warn nvim-notify Highlight group 'NotifyBackground' has no background highlight

Question or Suggestion

I am currently using astrotheme but I discovered this theme and I loved it, but the problem is, that all seems the same colour, hard to distinguish the type of variables.

• cyberdream:

• astrotheme:

• catppuccin:

• rose-pine

As you can see, booleans have their own colour and accessing a variable member as well.

The highlight groups affected in this group, using :Inspect in the other colorschemes, are:

• @boolean.lua links to Boolean
• @variable.lua links to @variable
• @variable.member.lua links to @property

How cyberdream is currently:

• @boolean.lua links to Constant
• @variable.lua links to @variable
• @variable.member.lua links to @variable

In the case that this is the intended colour palette, at least exposing a function to override or add highlights would be a good start.

Question or Suggestion

Hi, I love your theme. It really works well and I would suggest adding support to more plugins:

• Aerial
• mini-files
• Grapple
• LazyGit
• LazyDocker

Selection color is same as color used for some syntax highlighting, which results in some elements "disappearing" when highlighted.

Example markdown:

# Title 1
## Title 2
### Title 3

When visual mode is enabled and this block is selected, you won't be able to see the contents of the third line. The same happens in this example python:

def foo:
    print("bar")

My suggestion would be to find a color for highlighting that is not used for syntax highlighting.
