Settings in kyotorc/init.lua not taking affect

[lukeberry99]

Hi, I've changed the colorscheme away from tokyo night to one that better suits the rest of my setup. I'm trying to remove the BG colors to have it transparent (my terminal is semi transparent).

Running the following works from inside vim

:hi! Normal ctermbg=NONE guibg=NONE

But setting this inside kyotorc/init.lua does not

vim.cmd("hi! Normal ctermbg=NONE guibg=NONE")

I appreciate this isn't an issue related to kyoto itself, but I only have experience with good old vimrc and the grand world of lua based vim is new to me, any help is greatly appreciated.

So we don't source kyoto/init.lua we source kyotorc/init.lua and this will only work if its sourced in your init.lua, also to make your terminal transaprent alter globals/init.lua to have

g.tokyonight_transparent = true

[lukeberry99]

Sorry, that was a typo on my part. I am using kyotorc not kyoto. If I don't use the tokyonight theme, will g.tokyonight_transparent = true still apply?

Cheers

So did the kyotorc not being sourced check your init.lua file.

The tokyonight transparency variable is only for tokyonight

[lukeberry99]

It is being sourced, using pcall(require, "kyotorc") but the following rule does not seem to work.

vim.cmd("hi! Normal ctermbg=NONE guibg=NONE")

If I run that inside vim though it works no problem. Not sure that the issue is in anyway related to kyoto though.

Just make it a normal require statement

@lukeberry99 if its a problem reopen

Hi @samrath2007 the solution to my issue was

vim.api.nvim_exec(
[[
  hi! Normal ctermbg=NONE guibg=NONE
]], false)

Instead of what I had above, cheers for your help.
