Configurable TabLine italics styling

[synaptiko]

Hello, thanks for the great scheme.

I've noticed you recently added Zenflesh variant and also the ability to enable/disable italics for comments.

Would you consider to do the same for TabLine?

zenbones.nvim/lua/zenbones/init.lua

Line 95 in 4cd223c

TabLine { StatusLine, gui = "italic" }, -- tab pages line, not active tab page label

Make sense. For now, you can simply override the highlight with the help of lush.

colorscheme zenflesh

lua << EOF
local lush = require "lush"
local base = require "zenflesh"

local specs = lush.parse(function()
	return {
		TabLine { bg = base.TabLine.bg, fg = base.TabLine.fg, gui = nil }, -- setting gui to nil, not "italic"
	}
end)

lush.apply(lush.compile(specs))

EOF

The snippet just creates a small lush specs then applies it. This is more flexible and allows you to add more overrides if you want.

It's actually just simply:

TabLine { base.TabLine, gui = nil },

But not sure why it's not being accepted by lush.

Thank you for the snippet, I didn't realize it's that simple 👍

As a follow up, there is a better way to apply overrides and I'll probably document it as the recommended way.

lua/customize_zenbones.lua:

local function customize_zenbones()
	local colors_name = vim.g.colors_name
	if colors_name ~= "zenbones" and colors_name ~= "zenbones-lush" then
		return
	end

	local lush = require "lush"
	local base = require "zenbones"

	local specs = lush.parse(function()
		return {
			TabLine { base.TabLine, gui = "NONE" }, -- setting gui to "NONE", not "italic"
		}
	end)

	lush.apply(lush.compile(specs))
end

return customize_zenbones

Somewhere in your config:

autocmd VimEnter,ColorScheme * lua require("customize_zenbones")()
