Trouble setting transparent background in lazy

[vaskark]

Here is what I have in my papercolor.lua:

return {
  "NLKNguyen/papercolor-theme",
  config = function()
    vim.g.PaperColor_Theme_Options = {
      'theme': {
        'default': {
          'transparent_background': 1
         }
       }
     }
  end,
}

This is the error on startup:

/home/vaskark/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/papercolor.lua:5: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 4) near ':'

I really can't see what I'm missing. Can anyone offer help?
Thanks.

you're having some syntax issue

return {
  "NLKNguyen/papercolor-theme",
  config = function()
    vim.g.PaperColor_Theme_Options = {
      theme = {
        default = {
          transparent_background = 1,
        },
      },
    }
  end,
}

@ANGkeith

I tried your suggestion. Still doesn't work.

[ANGkeith]

Still doesn't work.

could you elaborate more ?

[vaskark]

No tranparency.

[ANGkeith]

hmm,

• your're no longer getting any error message right ?

• currently is your terminal background transparent ?

ie. something like that

the transparent_background setting here means it'll take the bg color of your terminal

because my terminal color is white to begin with... this is how the above config will look like

if it still does'nt work for you ..., i am not sure already. I doubt its an issue in the plugin...

[vaskark]

No, the error message is gone.
No, the terminal background is not transparent when using the papercolor theme. All the other themes that support transparency are transparent as per my configuration.

fork this patch/ patch them locally
https://github.com/NLKNguyen/papercolor-theme/pull/211/files

it should fix the issue

(i am assuming your're using nvim >= 0.10)

[vaskark]

It worked! Many thanks.
Will this fix be added to the main branch soon?

Edit: Wait. Lazy is now giving me errors about the edits I made. How can I make these changes permanent?

not sure.. maintainer seemed to be rather inactive for the past few month...

not sure if there's other way.. you can fork it and reference it vaskark/papercolor-theme

[vaskark]

Great idea. Thanks for all your help..
