Dark background solarized colorscheme doesn't work in 0.9.0

[fishy]

I have the following in my ~/.config/nvim/init.vim:

set background=dark
let g:solarized_termcolors=256
let g:solarized_termtrans=1
colorscheme solarized

When using the VimR GUI, set background? shows dark, echo g:solarized_termcolors and echo g:solarized_termtrans show that they are both correctly set, but it's still the light background solarized colorscheme, not the dark one.

I guess that the missing gui_running option in NeoVim is causing this. Until we know for sure what's going on, you could use a version of Solarized for NeoVim. (I tried it and it worked for both light and dark)

Have you tried to set termguicolors? (It will be soon turned on by default: #334)

[qvacua]

Try this snapshot: it will by default turn on the termguicolors option.

I tried set termguicolors (before set background=dark), it doesn't work.

v0.11.0-SNAPSHOT-20161111.2237-124 doesn't work either. Also it looks quite broken, it dropped a lot of settings in my init.vim, e.g. it didn't even load solarized (colorscheme solarized complained an error)

[qvacua]

Yes, we're having a problem with init.vim loading. We're currently investigating it: GH-337. For the time being please use https://github.com/qvacua/vimr/releases/tag/v0.10.1-122. BTW: did you try the other solarized themes mentioned above?

I've installed the suggested colorscheme, and not I cannot switch colorscheme at all. It just stays default with white bg. I'm on 0.11.0-SNAPSHOT-20161127.1106

I am using the newest version (https://github.com/qvacua/vimr/releases/tag/v0.11.0-138) and it works both with dark and light (the problem I mentioned above is fixed):

What happens with nvim on terminal with your settings?

[avietrov]

Right, sorry. With the most recent version of neovim (0.1.7) and vimr (0.10.0) the issue is gone on my side.

[qvacua]

There's a newer version of VimR https://github.com/qvacua/vimr/releases/tag/v0.11.0-138 than 0.10.0. 🙂 What about you, @fishy ? Resolved? Then, please close the issue. Thanks!

[qvacua]

Please re-open if the issue still remains. Closing...
