# transparent.nvim
Remove all background colors to make nvim transparent.

## Installation
`xiyaowong/transparent.nvim`
Same as other normal plugins, use your favourite plugin manager to install.
NOTE:
It is recommended not to lazy load this plugin to avoid some strange phenomena.
The execution of each function in the plugin is very fast and the time consumption can be ignored.
## Usage
All available options:
```lua
require("transparent").setup({ -- Optional, you don't have to run setup.
groups = { -- table: default groups
'Normal', 'NormalNC', 'Comment', 'Constant', 'Special', 'Identifier',
'Statement', 'PreProc', 'Type', 'Underlined', 'Todo', 'String', 'Function',
'Conditional', 'Repeat', 'Operator', 'Structure', 'LineNr', 'NonText',
'SignColumn', 'CursorLine', 'CursorLineNr', 'StatusLine', 'StatusLineNC',
'EndOfBuffer',
},
extra_groups = {}, -- table: additional groups that should be cleared
exclude_groups = {}, -- table: groups you don't want to clear
})
```
Normally, you don't need to call setup. There are two better ways for configuration.
### `g:transparent_groups`
Add additional highlight groups by explicitly assigning the variable `g:transparent_groups`.
For example, if you want to add group `ExtraGroup`, you can do it like this:
```lua
vim.g.transparent_groups = vim.list_extend(vim.g.transparent_groups or {}, { "ExtraGroup" })
-- vimscript: let g:transparent_groups = extend(get(g:, 'transparent_groups', []), ["ExtraGroup"])
```
**You can execute this statement anywhere and as many times as you want, without worrying about whether the plugin has already been loaded or not.**
Here is an example about [akinsho/bufferline.nvim](https://github.com/akinsho/bufferline.nvim).
Simply copy it and paste it after initializing bufferline in your configuration.
```lua
vim.g.transparent_groups = vim.list_extend(
vim.g.transparent_groups or {},
vim.tbl_map(function(v)
return v.hl_group
end, vim.tbl_values(require('bufferline.config').highlights))
)
```
### `clear_prefix`
Some plugins define highlights dynamically, especially the highlights of icons. e.g. BufferLineDevIcon*, lualine\_*\_DevIcon\*.
So, this plugin provide a helper function `clear_prefix`. It will clear all highlight groups starting with the prefix.
For some plugins of ui, you would like to clear all highlights. At this point you should use `clear_prefix`.
e.g.
- `akinsho/bufferline.nvim`
```lua
require('transparent').clear_prefix('BufferLine')
```
- `nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim`
```lua
require('transparent').clear_prefix('NeoTree')
```
- `nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim`
```lua
require('transparent').clear_prefix('lualine')
```
---
This plugin will provide a global variable: `g:transparent_enabled`(lua: `vim.g.transparent_enabled`)
Some plugins or themes support setting transparency, and you can use this variable as a flag.
eg: `require("tokyonight").setup{ transparent = vim.g.transparent_enabled }`
**NOTE**: The plugin will cache and automatically apply transparency settings, so you only need to call the following command.
## FAQ
### How to enable transparent for plugin panels?
You can try adding this highlight group to the options:
```lua
{
extra_groups = {
"NormalFloat", -- plugins which have float panel such as Lazy, Mason, LspInfo
"NvimTreeNormal" -- NvimTree
},
}
```
### Floating windows?
It is not recommended to set the floating window to be transparent, it will become very weird, and everything will be mixed together.

## Commands
```
:TransparentEnable
:TransparentDisable
:TransparentToggle
```
## Migration Guide 2023/3/20
1. remove `enable=true` in your config.
2. start Neovim
3. Run `:TransparentEnable`
It's done, the status of `enable` will cached and the transparent effect is applyed on you neovim, enjoy :)
