idk im having this issue for a long time. itd be nice to have this fixed.

thanks

Edit: I that doesnt help:

  • term=xterm-... in shell config
  • set-option -ga terminal-overrides ",xterm-256color:Tc" in tmux config

thanks to mazadin for the solution.

im using foo terminal, so setting set-option -ga terminal-overrides ",foot:Tc" in tmux.config fixed it. (yeah im dumb)

    Huh, that is quite odd. Have you set tmux to true colour? If not that may be the issue, though I don’t see why it would select those specific colours.

    Incase you haven’t, here’s the configuration to do so. Place the following in your tmux.conf located at ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf or ~/tmux.conf

    set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

    you should have to run tmux source ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf to get it to reload

    You may also have to add the following to your nvim config:
    set termguicolors

    or set TERM to xterm-256color in your shell (example: export TERM="xterm-256color" for bash)

    Though I doubt either are your problem.

    Edit: fixed neovim configuration

      Thanks for helping. But No luck with those. Tried them all. vim said there’s no option like “term”. Other two doesnt work :(

        Ah shit, that sucks, sorry to hear.

        Sorry on that command if you’re using lua to configure the correct setting should be

        vim.opt.termguicolors = true

        Or in your init.vim set termguicolors should work too. Apologies for messing up that last comment

        If you’re still up to trying some stuff, last thing I can think of is tmux deciding not to take the setting. Forcing tmux to use true color may help with set -ag terminal-overrides ",$TERM:Tc" or launching with tmux -2 may help, you’ll have to source the tmux config again of course. Also confirming that your terminal supports true color

          I tried that. Not working. Im really sorry, I shouldve mentioned this on the original post itself. I did some searches and tried these already. Im really sorry

            Yeah thought you may have done so, still good to check. Hope the best for you but I can’t think of anything else myself, unless you have a background set in tmux and a transparent background in neovim

            For others who may help, what terminal are you using? What is is the output of echo $TERM?

                Try this in tmux.conf:

                set-option -ga terminal-overrides ",foot:Tc"

                These overrides apply to the TERM you are using outside of tmux (where this is running).

                Yeah that’s the expected output. I’d see if alacritty or kitty works as expected to rule out foot being the issue, then manually setting term=xterm-256color in your foot.ini if it does work in either

                This must be incredibly frustrating

        vim or neovim? what terminal emulator are you using? post your nvim init.lua file. try putting both of these in tmux.conf:

        set -g default-terminal “xterm-256color”

        set-option -ga terminal-overrides “,xterm-256color:Tc”

        This is for alacritty terminal emulator + tmux + neovim but may help put you on the right track with whatever te u might be using:
