issue with color theme

[uziahmed]

this is really not that much of a big issue but i just wanted to know the images of the onedark theme on the Readme.md are kinda cooler and very similar to the one in atom but i have a much darker and kinda unpleasing color situation here

my init.vim and color situation

what i want

Terminal Emulator Info

Alacritty 0.9.0

OS version

OS:Manjaro
kernel:5.13.19-2-MANJARO

neovim version

neovim version:0.6.0

is there a way to fix it???

i read the readme.md but found almost nothing that i was looking for

It looks like you're currently using onedark.vim's 256-color mode. To get the colors to look like the README screenshots, you need to enable true/24-bit color mode by adding set termguicolors to your configuration before colorscheme onedark.vim. If this doesn't work for you, try using the full snippet that appears in Step 2 of the README's installation instructions, instead.

i mean it kinda worked and fixed the background but the text is still kinda junky and it still doesnt look like the eye soothing one dark

The colors now look correct. I'm not sure what you mean by the text is still kinda junky but onedark.vim only styles the colors and nothing else. To change the look of the text, you probably need to experiment with your font / font size / font weight within your alacritty configuration.

The screenshot in the README also utilizes https://github.com/sheerun/vim-polyglot for better syntax highlighting support, but since you're using Neovim you may also want to look into https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter. Neither of these will affect the colors themselves, but will affect how they are applied when syntax highlighting different filetypes.

i actually meant that the color of the font still kinda doesnt matches the look of the image but anyways thanks for your help and have a great day/night
