Question 1

How do I install Onebuddy with Packer in Neovim?

Accepted Answer

While the README doesn't explicitly cover Packer, you can install it similarly: add `use 'Th3Whit3Wolf/onebuddy'` to your Packer setup, ensure colorbuddy.vim is installed, and set the colorscheme with `lua require('colorbuddy').colorscheme('onebuddy')` as shown in other examples.

Question 2

Onebuddy vs onedark.nvim for Neovim?

Accepted Answer

Onebuddy is inspired by Atom One and built on colorbuddy.vim, making it a learning tool for theme development with dual variants. onedark.nvim is often more standalone and feature-rich; choose Onebuddy if you value educational examples or need both dark and light modes.

Question 3

Does Onebuddy work with Vim?

Accepted Answer

No, Onebuddy does not support Vim because it is written in Lua for Neovim 0.5+, as explicitly stated in the README's NOTE section. It requires Neovim's Lua runtime.

Question 4

How can I customize the colors in Onebuddy?

Accepted Answer

Since Onebuddy is built on colorbuddy.vim, you can modify the Lua code in `lua/onebuddy.lua` to change colors, as it's designed as an example for customization using the framework's API.

Question 5

Is Onebuddy good for light mode coding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Onebuddy includes a dedicated light theme variant, shown in the README screenshots, which is designed for readability in light environments and pairs well with the dark theme for switching preferences.

Question 6

What are the dependencies for Onebuddy?

Accepted Answer

Onebuddy requires the colorbuddy.vim plugin and Neovim 0.5+ with termguicolors enabled, as specified in the prerequisites and installation instructions. Without these, it won't function.

Question 7

How does Onebuddy compare to the original Atom One theme?

Accepted Answer

Onebuddy faithfully adapts the Atom One palette for Neovim, offering similar aesthetics but with the added benefit of being Lua-based and serving as a tutorial for theme creation with colorbuddy.vim, unlike direct ports.
