Experimenting with #vim-lsp + #rust and I think I need to dig into the colorscheme options for these 'hover' style 'windows’, because ouchie ouchie, my eyes.
Found that desert256 is not part of native #vim (or at least, may not have been back in the day) and so it plus three other /completely random/ 256-color schemes were added to my dotfiles repo.
In 2011.
Two of these (now deleted) were butt-ugly, at least on a modern terminal. A third is desert256, as stated. The last is called "BusyBee" (why no, of course I didn't think to include where I got them, why do you ask? 😩) and it's actually kind of interesting. Certainly a much better hover window.
Yea, I think it's time to freshen up this ol' biddy with something other than the venerable desert256. I /could/ pick something for its Pmenu (which apparently did not even exist as a color name in 2011? lmao) and keep going, but like. I've apparently been using this same scheme for 13 years or longer…
TIL: :set termguicolors in #vim enables some additional, post-256color color support (actual true colors, ie in the millions, if the surrounding environment also supports it)
Right away, even in ol' desert256, it seems to make my cursorline transparent-ish instead of simply an underline. very nice!
EDIT: well, it's nice until I realize that it makes multi-buffer windows that much more difficult to scan (each buffer's cursorline + each buffer's statusline == waugh too many lines!)
@petrillic what's age got to do with it? I find light-on-dark way easier on my eyes, as long as it's not one of these ones /aiming/ for low/med contrast with a lighter-than-black background.
(gruvbox is one of those but if I ever switch to it I'm likely to tweak it so it's higher contrast…)
@petrillic interesting. I do have astigmatism but the halation effect is somewhat minimal, at least with my glasses on.
And light-colored app/terminal/etc themes make my eyes go ow, so I gotta make do. (I also don't do well in bright sunlight w/o sunglasses. Am told it's partly as I have blue eyes?)
@bitprophet I'm trying to figure this out, too! I just switch from vim8 to neovim. I was using PaperColor, but now I'm using TokyoNight. It might be a little to “cool" for me. I would like some brighter colors.
