Can't change color of status line

[nettrino]

Hello, I am trying to change the color of the status line as per #195 but cannot do so. My main concern is that in the dimmed theme's horizontal splits the split line is not easy to discern from the background.

My current config/failing attempt is:

        use({
            "nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim",
            after = "github-nvim-theme",
            requires = { "kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons", opt = true },
            config = function()
                require("lualine").setup({
                    options = {
                        theme = "auto", -- or you can assign github_* themes individually.
                        -- ... your lualine config
                    },
                })
            end,
        })

        use({
            "projekt0n/github-nvim-theme",
            config = function()
                require("github-theme").setup({
                    theme_style = "dimmed",
                    -- see github-theme/palette/dimmed.lua
                    colors = {
                        bg_search = "#00006b",
                    },
                    overrides = function(c)
                        return {
                            Statusline = { bg = "#00ff8b", fg = c.red },
                            StatuslineNC = { bg = "#0aa08b", fg = c.red },
                        }
                    end,
                    dev = true,
                })
            end,
        })

Any help would be appreciated

If you want to personalize the colors of the statusline using the provided configuration, you may need to uninstall the lualine plugin and revert to the default statusline. This is because lualine comes with its own distinct highlights for each section, which can override any customizations you apply.

Alternatively, you could develop your own lualine theme that overwrites the colors. This can be accomplished by defining a theme within the lualine/theme/ directory. For inspiration, you can refer to github-nvim-theme/lua/lualine/themes.

@ful1e5 thanks for the reply - I only care about making splits more visible really so would not go into such extent as defining a full colorscheme just for that. There is no option to hardcode this post-initialization somehow?

[ful1e5]

@nettrino, are you using the hide_nc_statuline option? If so, here is a workaround to make it visible:

require('github-theme').setup({
  options = {
    hide_nc_statusline = true,
  },
  groups = {
    all = {
      StatusLineNC = { bg = 'bg1', fg = 'bg1', sp = 'fg1', style = 'underline' },
    },
  },
})

vim.cmd('colorscheme github_dark')

make_underline_statusline_more_visible.mp4

@ful1e5 No I wasn't - the issue for me is that I am using the dimmed flavor of github_dark with the following setup:

        use({
            "projekt0n/github-nvim-theme",
            config = function()
                require("github-theme").setup({
                    options = {
                        bg_search = "#00006b",
                    },
                    groups = {
                        all = {
                            StatusLineNC = { bg = "#00ff8b", fg = "#aaff8b", sp = "#00222b", style = "underline" },
                        },
                    },
                })
            end,
        })
        vim.cmd("colorscheme github_dark_dimmed")

The line is not visible as well as in the dark theme and I just want to have the color options take place if that makes sense.

My setup:

Github dark:

@nettrino, the hide_nc_statusline option is enabled by default.

However, you have set it to false and overridden the highlight with groups. Have you tried compiling the theme you are using with :GithubThemeCompile afterward?

If it's still not working, please share your complete configuration here so I can better understand your issue. Also, I'm working on some visual changes for the selection list and statusline colors, so I can take care of your issue if it's a genuine problem.

@ful1e5 yeah it still is not working if I'm not mistaken. My vim config is https://github.com/nettrino/vimconf and I'm using alacritty on mac os x M1 with the following config:

As #266 has been merged upstream, it fixes the statusline colors for the active mode and the minimal look as well.

I'm closing this issue due to inactivity, but feel free to reopen it if it hasn't been resolved.
