Align color scheme with kitty

[kevaldonga]

Is there way to align neovim color scheme with kitty terminal colors. I want to set neovim theme whatever kitty theme is, as it is not picking up colors from kitty and it is showing boundry between terminal and neovim.

Not sure which colors you mean, but if you just want to use the same background color in nvim as is defined by the terminal, you can set the transparent option like this:

diff --git a/init.lua b/init.lua
index 88658ef..02779bc 100644
--- a/init.lua
+++ b/init.lua
@@ -780,6 +780,7 @@ require('lazy').setup({
     -- If you want to see what colorschemes are already installed, you can use `:Telescope colorscheme`.
     'folke/tokyonight.nvim',
     priority = 1000, -- Make sure to load this before all the other start plugins.
+    opts = { transparent = true },
     init = function()
       -- Load the colorscheme here.
       -- Like many other themes, this one has different styles, and you could load

Or you can try to find a different colorscheme that better matches whatever style you prefer.

yes I have set up background color to transparent. but what I am saying is I don't want tokyo night or any other theme in neovim I want it to pick up colors from kitty terminal. it that possible ?

You could try using one of the colorschemes that support the terminal defined 16 colors, for example habamax and then force that mode. Try this:

:set notermguicolors
:set t_Co=16
:colorscheme habamax

This should force the colorscheme to use the cterm instead of the gui defined colors. If you do that with tokyonight it will just go to a black-and-white mode, but habamax and other builtin schemes do support the 16 color modes. To get a list of all builtin colorschemes check: /usr/share/nvim/runtime/colors

Maybe this solution would work for you.

In any case, this isn't a kickstart problem. You'd still get a (default) theme from neovim without kickstart, so I'm closing this. Hope folks suggestions have helped.
