# Gruvbox 8 - Vim Color Scheme

![](https://raw.github.com/lifepillar/Resources/master/gruvbox8/gruvbox8-dark-and-light.png)

**Note: if you are using Neovim, checkout the `neovim` branch of this repo.**

This is a simplified and optimized* version of

[Gruvbox](https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox) that I have developed

to address some issues I had with the official color scheme.

 These are the main differences compared to the official Gruvbox:

- by default, no plugin and filetype highlight groups to avoid messing up syntax

  highlighting after switching color schemes (they can be enabled through

  options);

- reduced number of options;

- all options are documented;

- slightly different (and, IMHO, better) 256-color palette;

- gracefully degrades to 16, 8 or even only 2 colors;

- support for transparent backgrounds in terminals;

- no shell scripts;

- up to date highlight group definitions (e.g., includes `ToolbarLine`

  and `ToolbarButton`);

- defines `g:terminal_ansi_colors`;

- generated by [Colortemplate](https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-colortemplate),

  i.e., easily hackable.

* Below is the result of a benchmark made using Vim 8.1.1550 and

iTerm 2 v3.2.9 on a MacBook Pro Early 2015 with macOS 10.14.5. Note that Gruvbox

8 is optimized for what are believed to be the most common use cases, i.e., GUI,

true-color terminals and 256-color terminals.







## True-color Variants

## 256-color Variants

## Less capable terminals

Earlier versions of Gruvbox 8 would complain when the terminal did not have

enough colors. This is no longer the case: Gruvbox 8 will gracefully degrade to

16, 8 or even 2 colors, as illustrated by the screenshot below:

## Hacking

Do you want to hack the theme? Install

[Colortemplate](https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-colortemplate), edit the

files in the `templates` folder, then rebuild the color schemes.
