Troubleshooting

Colors are Wrong

This theme requires vim to support the +termguicolors option.

To check for this option run:

vim --version | grep -o '+termguicolors'

NOTE: If the option is not available no output will show.

If the option is available, add the following to the ~/.vimrc file:

set termguicolors

The colors should then appear correctly after reloading vim:

Here is a text copy of the ~/.vimrc file shown in the screenshot above:

set term=xterm-256color
"set term=screen-256color
if has('termguicolors')
    set termguicolors
endif

set background=dark

call plug#begin("~/.vim/plugged")
    Plug 'artanikin/vim-synthwave84'
call plug#end()

colorscheme synthwave84
