Question 1

How do I change the background color in OneDarkPro.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Override the 'bg' color in the setup by specifying it per theme or background type. For example, use `colors = { onedark = { bg = "#1a1a1a" } }` to darken the onedark theme's background, as shown in the configuration section.

Question 2

OneDarkPro.nvim vs tokyonight.nvim: which is better for Neovim?

Accepted Answer

OneDarkPro.nvim is ideal if you want a faithful One Dark theme with deep customization and plugin support, while tokyonight.nvim offers a different aesthetic with smoother gradients. Choose based on visual preference; OneDarkPro.nvim has more emphasis on fidelity and Lua configuration.

Question 3

Does this theme work with Vim 8 or only Neovim?

Accepted Answer

It only works with Neovim 0.9.2+ due to dependencies on features like Tree-sitter and LSP semantic tokens. For Vim 8, consider ported themes like onehalf-vim that mimic One Dark but lack the advanced Neovim integrations.

Question 4

How can I enable italic comments in OneDarkPro.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Set the 'comments' style to 'italic' in the styles configuration or override the Comment highlight group directly. For instance, use `styles = { comments = "italic" }` or `highlights = { Comment = { italic = true } }`, as detailed in the Configuring Styles section.

Question 5

What happens if my LSP server doesn't support semantic tokens?

Accepted Answer

The theme will fall back to Tree-sitter and basic syntax highlighting, but you'll miss enhanced features like variable scope coloring. Check your LSP server's documentation; the theme supports semantic tokens only when available, as noted in the requirements.

Question 6

How do I add support for a new plugin not listed?

Accepted Answer

You can manually create custom highlight groups in your configuration or contribute to the project via the Contributing guide. The README explains how to define new highlights, but pre-configured integration is limited to the documented plugins.
