using macOS, I've colored the Terminal app by importing the Solarized theme but the scripts I write inside the terminal are not displayed in the Solarized theme. :colorscheme="default"

enter image description here

While Solarized looks like this.

I can use :colorscheme TAB to find/use Solarized but it just creates an awful highlight effect:

I've been using my build (vimSimple) for years and this issue has never occurred. The only thing that's changed is I've upgraded to macOS Catalina. These files are just softlinked:

ls -al
...
lrwxr-xr-x   1 USER staff    32 May 21 14:47 .vim -> /Users/USER/code/vimsimple/vim
-rw-------   1 USER staff 26249 May 27 12:15 .viminfo
lrwxr-xr-x   1 USER staff    34 May 21 15:00 .vimrc -> /Users/USER/code/vimsimple/vimrc
...

I've tried some of the suggestions from filed issues but no luck. If anyone can help get past this that would be bomb.

  • Based on the project's page and the way vim works, you need to install solarized for vim (using a plugin manager, packages, or something else) and then put a couple of instructions in your vimrc...

  • Does :set termguicolors fix it?

  • I just spotted https://github.com/todd-dsm/vimSimple/blob/master/vim/vimrcs/colors.vim... you need to set the g: variable prior to color for it to have any effect. But I also didn't see it get sourced anywhere. Plus, if you have your terminal setup with the solarized palette, you don't need it. I did find it worked better in MacVim, though (tried in term w/o solarized palette)

  • @filbranden sadly no, I read the help and checked that vim was compiled with that feature (it is). When setting it, it just made the screen more blah: imgur.com/a/xMstl3D

    @todd_dsm colorscheme is not the variable I’m talking about. What about solarized_termcolors in the file I linked to?
