Troubleshooting

Install

If you are using JavaScript, I recommend adding vim-javascript for improved syntax highlighting.

Plug 'pangloss/vim-javascript'

This theme has good support for flow syntax, which you can enable with

" Once vim-javascript is installed you enable flow highlighting
let g:javascript_plugin_flow = 1

If you are using React, I recommend adding vim-jsx for better jsx highlighting

Plug 'mxw/vim-jsx'

Troubleshooting

True color

Make sure you are using a terminal emulator that supports truecolor. Read more about this here.

Colours don't look right

If you are running vim within tmux, you may run into some truecolor issues.

To fix, add this to you tmux.conf

set -g terminal-overrides ',xterm-256color:Tc'
set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color"
set -as terminal-overrides ',xterm*:sitm=\E[3m'

And in your .bash_profile || .zshrc

export TERM="xterm-256color"

Ensure you tmux kill-server, quit your emulator of choice and startup it all back up again. It should then look 👌.
