Looks good but I want italic comments

Add following to your settings file:

augroup colorscheme_change | au!
    au ColorScheme gruvbit hi Comment gui=italic cterm=italic
augroup END

set termguicolors
colorscheme gruvbit

And bold statements

Add following to your settings file:

func! s:gruvbit_setup() abort
    hi Comment gui=italic cterm=italic
    hi Statement gui=bold cterm=bold
endfunc

augroup colorscheme_change | au!
    au ColorScheme gruvbit call s:gruvbit_setup()
augroup END

set termguicolors
colorscheme gruvbit

And VertSplit without background colors

func! s:gruvbit_setup() abort
    hi Comment gui=italic cterm=italic
    hi Statement gui=bold cterm=bold
    hi VertSplit guibg=NONE ctermbg=NONE
endfunc

augroup colorscheme_change | au!
    au ColorScheme gruvbit call s:gruvbit_setup()
augroup END

set termguicolors
colorscheme gruvbit

What about terminals with semi-transparent backgrounds?

Add this:

let g:gruvbit_transp_bg = v:true

Statusline Plugins Integration

Gruvbit supports vim-airline:

and lightline.vim:

Note though, it wouldn’t work if you install gruvbit into /opt/ directory of vim packages.

For vim-airline you don’t need to do anything special it should automatically pickup gruvbit theme.

For lightline.vim add following to your vimrc:

let g:lightline = {"colorscheme": "gruvbit"}
