Can't get to work on zsh + iterm2 (macos)

[ericreis]

Hi,

I am having some problems installing this theme in vim. I have already done everything in the readme, including the base16 part and I can't get it to work inside vim. It is working fine in iterm (which I didn't want to, I only wanted when inside vim), as you can see in the pictures below.

Could you help me find where I am failing?

Here is my .vimrc

Are you using vim8?
If you are, try adding this to your vimrc:

let &t_8f = "\<Esc>[38;2;%lu;%lu;%lum"
let &t_8b = "\<Esc>[48;2;%lu;%lu;%lum"

[ericreis]

Yeah, I am using vim8:

Nothing changed when I added those lines.

[kristijanhusak]

The only problem is background, right?

[ericreis]

No, i think the whole colorscheme isn't working properly, at least compared to the material theme on my vscode.

[kristijanhusak]

I don't think it would match with colorscheme from different editor, but it should match the screenshots in the readme.
Try uninstalling base16 stuff, and also add this beside the code i mentioned:

set termguicolors

I see that you are using semi-transparent background on terminal, so that can also potentially cause some confusion.

[ericreis]

I didn't understand the part of uninstalling base16 stuff? Isn't this necessary for vim?

[ericreis]

Tried adding the set termguicolors line, but nothing changed. I am still feeling it's kinda odd. Could you write this python example code and take a screenshot?

[kristijanhusak]

base16 is necessary only if you don't have vim8 and true colors support, but you should have it with iterm and vim8.
Can you try temporarily disable terminal transparency and see how it looks?

[ericreis]

For the transparency I have added the line, and now the transparency works:

let g:hybrid_transparent_background = 1

I have removed the base16 and disabled transparency and it looks like this:

I have managed to get the background color working when I added the following line and had the iterm color preset on.

g:hybrid_custom_term_colors = 1

The problem with this is that I don't want to have that color pallete for all my terminal, just inside vim. Futhermore, I think the syntax highlighting is still broken somehow (based on code examples that I have found on the internet). Can you share a screenshot of your vim with this python example code:

import itertools

class Foo:
    def __init__(self, x, y):
        self.x = x
        self.y = y

def iter_primes():
    # an iterator of all numbers between 2 and +infinity
    numbers = itertools.count(2)

    # generate primes forever
    while True:
        # get the first number from the iterator (always a prime)
        prime = numbers.next()
        yield prime

        # this code iteratively builds up a chain of
        # filters...slightly tricky, but ponder it a bit
        numbers = itertools.ifilter(prime.__rmod__, numbers)

for p in iter_primes():
    if p > 1000:
        break
    print p

[sayatul]

works fine for gvim though, tried all the above ways

[kristijanhusak]

@sayatul what's your environment? OS, terminal, etc.
