Question 1

How do I install fluoromachine in Neovim?

Accepted Answer

Use a plugin manager like Lazy.nvim or Packer, then add a Lua configuration block as shown in the README, including fm.setup and vim.cmd.colorscheme to apply the theme.

Question 2

What's the difference between fluoromachine and Synthwave84?

Accepted Answer

Fluoromachine is a fork of Synthwave84 that adds glowing neon effects, more built-in themes, and enhanced customization via Lua, making it a more feature-rich and sci-fi inspired version.

Question 3

Can I use fluoromachine with Vim instead of Neovim?

Accepted Answer

No, fluoromachine relies on Neovim's Lua API and plugin ecosystem, so it won't work with standard Vim or other editors, limiting its portability.

Question 4

How to disable the glow effect in fluoromachine?

Accepted Answer

In the setup configuration, set 'glow = false' to turn off the neon glow, allowing for a subtler retro aesthetic while keeping other theme elements intact.

Question 5

Does fluoromachine support light color themes or only dark ones?

Accepted Answer

Based on the built-in themes, fluoromachine focuses on dark backgrounds with neon highlights; there's no mention of light themes, so it might not suit users preferring bright interfaces.

Question 6

Is fluoromachine good for long coding sessions with eye comfort?

Accepted Answer

The glow and neon colors can be visually intense; customization is needed to tone down effects or adjust colors, which may require extra effort to ensure readability over time.
