Description

@erlanger

It is not changing the background when I run
:set background=light

I am looking for the same kind of look as when I run set background=light in neovim-gtk.

Thanks for a great project!
EDIT: running on alacritty

Hi! which color scheme are you using?
The set background should just work if the color scheme support true color.

Just starting neovim without any specified color scheme. If I could just use my alacritty settings for bacground color it would work fine (but since you override the configuration all my settings are gone).

A quick workaround for now, using some true color support scheme.
I am using https://github.com/NLKNguyen/papercolor-theme which works fine with background switching.

For the future, I think glrnvim should define a standard color groups for every terminal, then those 16 colors vim schemes should work.

Also adding a use_user_conf might be useful. If that is true, glrnvim won't overwrite user's terminal conf.
