How to use with nvchad.com?

[mainrs]

Hello!

I am trying to enable the theme with nvchad.com together. But for some reason neither the status bar nor nvim-tree are colorized with the latte theme.

This is my config and how I load the plugin:

{ 
    "catppuccin/nvim",
    name = "catppuccin",
    lazy = false,
    priority = 1000,
    config = function()
      vim.g.catppuccin_flavour = "latte"
      require("catppuccin").setup {
        flavour = "latte",
        dim_inactive = {
          enabled = false,
        },
        integrations = {
          cmp = true,
          nvimtree = true,
          treesitter = true,
        },
      }

      vim.cmd.colorscheme "catppuccin-latte"
    end
  },

This is how it looks like on my system:

As you can also see, the terminal colors are the one of the non-latte theme; they are pastell. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: I did some more digging into the nvchad.com source. Here is the default configuration of nvim-tree that gets loaded here. Not sure if this clashes somehow.

I'm facing the same problem...
Did you see how they setup their default themes?
They use this specific plugin made for NvChad that setus up the variables in a different way so that they can be used alongside the whole ecosystem ( telescope etc )

https://github.com/NvChad/base46/tree/v2.0

Here's their catppuccin Mocha implementation:

NvChad doesn't seem to support themes other from the integrated ones by base46. As they integrated catpouccin-mocha, the best way is to just use it.

However, if you really want to use this plugin, you should firstly try to disable the plugin NvChad/base46, and manually define custom highlights for the statusline, tab/bufferline, NvTerm, etc for they don't exist. (Which might be a hard work!)

Thanks for the reply, you're 100% right.
It's very hard work to setup another flavor of catppuccin in NVChad because of those details.... I decided to just give up and move my setup to AstroNVim

Best decision ever 🚀
Their Community Plugins feature made it incredibly easy to setup, basically the same effort as installing a couple of VSCode Extensions. They can be used to install things like Catppuccin Colorscheme or more complex stuff like a specific Language Support (LSPs, DAPs ... etc )

So shout out to anyone trying to setup a non standard NVChad colorscheme.... it's not worth it, you're basically fighting agains the NVChad distro 🙏🏻
