Feature request: transparent background

[mxkrsv]

Original gruvbox had gruvbox_transparent_bg option for that.

This is, as far as I know and according to the readme, already supported. All options of the original gruvbox is.

Edit: or maybe it isn't. 🤷‍♂️

Well, I just got that I saw this option in morhetz/gruvbox#287, not in gruvbox itself. However, it's pretty useful as it's the only way to do transparent background, because any "highlight <...>" commands in init.lua don't take effect.

Try this and it doesn't work, it would be great to have this feature or if it's already added why doesn't it work? Am I doing something wrong?

My PR isn't merged yet, so for solution on line 82 to work you'll have to apply my patch manually or to clone my PR's branch. Line 86 doesn't work at all, and that's the reason why I did this PR.

Sorry guys, the original repo and the community version on which this repo is based does not have that option so I would recommend for you guys that still want that behaviour to add the config manually in your configs.

@timsofteng Font Dank Mono Regular and Italic

I mean how to force gruvbox.nvim to display italic in cases as on your screenshot?
My main font is source code pro and I have full bundle including italic mono one. But in same case it render regular mono.

@ellisonleao
Maybe you have ideas?

And I still don't understand how to enable transparent background.
