This is a fork with all the existing PRs merged and a number of additional fixes. I will try to further improve the plugin in the future. -> use tint.nvim instead

shade.nvim

Shade is a Neovim plugin that dims your inactive windows, making it easier to see the active window at a glance.

Installation

Packer

use 'jghauser/shade.nvim'

Vim-Plug

Plug 'jghauser/shade.nvim'

Configuration

require'shade'.setup({
  overlay_opacity = 50,
  opacity_step = 1,
  keys = {
    brightness_up    = '<C-Up>',
    brightness_down  = '<C-Down>',
    toggle           = '<Leader>s',
  },
  exclude_filetypes = { "neo-tree", "markdown" }
})

• The keys table above shows available actions. No mappings are defined by default.

• The color of the numbers in the brightness control popup can be customized by creating a highlight group named: ShadeBrightnessPopup and setting the attributes to your liking.

• The exclude_filetypes table above is just an example. No filetypes are excluded by default.

Interactions with other plugins

Other plugins with floating windows (for example treesitter-context) might have these not show up. This can be fixed by setting the zindex to 50.
