From 0c850add3ecedec5b7dea62f0dd152f3421b66fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Evgeni Chasnovski Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2024 02:35:37 +0200 Subject: fix(colorscheme): default statusline groups usability #26921 Problem: Current values of `StatusLine` and `StatusLineNC` are currently designed to be visually distinctive while being not intrusive. However, the compromise was more shifted towards "not intrusive". After the feedback, statusline highlight groups should be designed to: - Make current window clearly noticeable. Meaning `StatusLine` and `StatusLineNC` should obviously differ. - Make non-current windows clearly separable. Meaning `StatusLineNC` and `Normal`/`NormalNC` should obviously differ. Solution: - Update `StatusLineNC` to have more visible background. - Update `StatusLine` to be inverted variant of `StatusLineNC`. - Update `WinBar` and `WinBarNC` to not link to `StatusLine` and `StatusLineNC` because it makes two goals harder to achieve. - Update `TabLine` to link to `StatusLineNC` instead of `StatusLine` to not be very visually intrusive. --- runtime/doc/news.txt | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'runtime') diff --git a/runtime/doc/news.txt b/runtime/doc/news.txt index 98b782a105..cb70c81191 100644 --- a/runtime/doc/news.txt +++ b/runtime/doc/news.txt @@ -99,8 +99,8 @@ The following changes may require adaptations in user config or plugins. a meaningfully different way and might need an update: • |hl-FloatBorder| is linked to |hl-NormalFloat| instead of |hl-WinSeparator|. • |hl-NormalFloat| is not linked to |hl-Pmenu|. - • |hl-WinBar| is linked to |hl-StatusLine|. - • |hl-WinBarNC| is linked to |hl-StatusLineNC| instead of |hl-WinBar|. + • |hl-WinBar| has different background. + • |hl-WinBarNC| is similar to |hl-WinBar| but not bold. • |hl-WinSeparator| is linked to |hl-Normal| instead of |hl-VertSplit|.
