FAQ

Q: It doesn't work as expected.

A:

1. This color scheme is designed for true colors, set termguicolors is required. Check output of vim --version, maybe your vim doesn't support termguicolors

2. Maybe your terminal emulator doesn't support true colors, you can test it using this script

3. If you are running vim in tmux, you need to override default true colors of tmux, as tmux cannot display true color properly: #1246 How to use true colors in vim under tmux?

4. There are many highlighting group links in syntax files while a color scheme may change them, enabling one color scheme based on another color scheme enabled is very likely to cause color broken. If there is any color broken, you can enable the color scheme in your vimrc instead of after vim startup.

Q: What's your status line configuration?

A: check this gist.
