Steps to reproduce this bug using minimal vimrc

1. Install lazyvim
2. Add the sonokai plugin
3. Running with default configuration with snacks.nvim dashboard

Expected behavior

Correct color

Actual behavior

Incorrect colors for new dashboard from snacks.nvim

[antoineco]

The plugin's defaults don't look great it's true.

Do you have a reference of the same dashboard using a different colorscheme to share? That could help us come up with a sensible design, closer to what the author intended.

edit: found it in the project's README

[RomanAverin]

Example of the everforest theme working well

[antoineco]

I'm currently thinking how to best customize highlights for this plugin.

The main reason why things look more acceptable in Everforst is because its orange-yellow colors combination is more homogeneous than the red-purple used in Sonokai. But in my opinion, none of them are particularly faithful to the semantics of the colorscheme:

Sonokai

Everforest

In comparison, a colorscheme like Tokyo Night which is optimized for the plugin uses a combination of colors that is much easier on the eye:

Tokyo Night

[antoineco]

@RomanAverin what do you think about this?

[RomanAverin]

So nice, but a little lacking in contrast for text with a full path. Also doesn't quite match the original colors. The colors you suggest are not quite complimentary. That is, not very harmonious.
But it's already better than it was. Thank you. I need time to think about it and come up with my own version.

[antoineco]

The difficulty with this kind of plugins is that the Sonokai palette is fairly restricted. There are few base colors for different semantic highlight groups, but we don't shade/tint those colors (and do not want to).

There are a few shades of grey available to play with, but if we want to use colors the result is unlikely to be very harmonious. Maybe it is best to play with those shades for all text elements actually, on only highlight the symbols with a color.

[RomanAverin]

Red and green are complimentary.
The onedark color scheme option for this plugin looks good.

[antoineco]

I like it more indeed. I would go as far as making the headers also blue, and maybe bold.

I need to experiment a bit on my side too it would be nice if Sonokai had a decent support for the multiple dashboard-style plugins out there.
