Hey, I really like this theme. One thing that is missing though, is transparent background in my opinion. What should I do to get a custom background?

dikiaap commented

Thank you! You could use compton to get transparent background. I've tried it once and it works well.

@dikiaap
Jellybeans color scheme allows you to override the background color like this:

let g:jellybeans_overrides = {
\    'background': { 'guibg': '000000' },
\}

This makes the theme use the background color the user had as background for their terminal before they started vim. Would this be possible to implement?

dikiaap commented

Yeah, I guess so. You can also override in .vimrc like hi Normal ctermbg=NONE guibg=NONE

@dikiaap Oh, that was easy. I feel stupid now. Thanks a lot!

By the way, comments are quite hard to see because of their color. I guess that's by design, but I'd make them at least a bit brighter

@ErikWallstrom Great.

That's all syntax highlighting I take from material-theme and I liken it.
