Transparent background

[rafaeltenoriogama]

Guys, there is no way to make transparent? Like in Sonokai for example:
vim.g.sonokai_transparent_background = "1"

In Miasma i try make a local function to make transparent and still doesn't work.

I've checked out the branch "fix" on this issue but that code doesn't work, has anyone solved this transparency issue yet??

I had the same issue a few months ago. When I first found Miasma, there wasn’t a fix for transparency, so I cloned the repo and added one myself.

My setup looks like the second screenshot from earlier, where the grep view is also transparent. I haven’t touched this since then and I’m not sure if it’ll work for everyone, but it’s been working fine for me. The only file I had to change was colors/miasma.vim, just added this to the end of the file:

if exists("g:miasma_transparent") && g:miasma_transparent>= 1
    hi Normal guifg=#D7C483 guibg=NONE guisp=NONE blend=NONE gui=NONE
    hi LineNr guifg=#666666 guibg=NONE guisp=NONE blend=NONE gui=NONE

To use this, just set the global variable vim.g.miasma_transparent = 1 before setting the colorscheme. For example, if you're using Lazy as a plugin manager, your config might look like this:

return {
  "kcmnd/miasma.nvim-transparent",
  lazy = false,
  priority = 1000,
  config = function()
    vim.g.miasma_transparent = 1 -- Enable transparency
    vim.cmd("colorscheme miasma")
  end,
}

If you're using a different plugin manager, just make sure you set vim.g.miasma_transparent = 1 before calling colorscheme miasma.

If you don't mind using an older version of miasma that is missing any features that were added over the last few months, you could just use my repo directly (the example above), otherwise clone/fork the official miasma repo and add that code I gave above and hopefully it'll work for you too.
