Integration with Lightline

[dr-costas]

Hi,

How can I integrate Gruvbox with Lightline?

[rbong]

Lightline themes can be defined a couple different ways:

Either lightline itself can define an autoload file in autoload/lightline/colorscheme/<theme>.vim or the colorscheme plugin itself can define that same file. Check out any of the existing colorscheme files for an example.

Gruvbox does have this file, so you should be able to set the file like this:

let g:lightline = {
      \ 'colorscheme': 'gruvbox',
      \ }

Let me know if there are any issues.

If you would like to customize the theme, just create a file in your runtime path (ex. ~/.vim) named something like autoload/lightline/colorscheme/custom_gruvbox.vim, copy the existing theme, and make any changes you'd like to see. Consider contributing a PR if you've made improvements to the theme that others can benefit from.

I tried to so what you are saying but it did not worked.

This is what I'm getting:

The screenshot is broken for me.

I even tried copying the gruvbox.vim file at the ligthline.vim/autoload/lightline/colorscheme directory, but still the same.

Please post your .vimrc, init.vim, or init.lua (depending on which you use) that you're having this issue with.

For me, this .vimrc works:

set background=dark
set laststatus=2

call plug#begin()
  Plug 'gruvbox-community/gruvbox'
  Plug 'itchyny/lightline.vim'

  let g:lightline = {
        \ 'colorscheme': 'gruvbox',
        \ }
call plug#end()

colorscheme gruvbox

Please also make sure you're using the latest version of lightline and gruvbox.
