A Neovim plugin written in Lua that removes all background colors from highlight groups to make the editor transparent. It supports configurable highlight groups, prefix-based clearing for UI plugins, and toggle functionality.
Use cases
- make neovim background transparent
- remove background colors from nvim colorscheme
- clear highlight backgrounds for bufferline or lualine
- toggle transparency in neovim
- use terminal background behind neovim
When to choose
- You want Neovim to blend with your terminal's background or wallpaper
- You need to clear backgrounds from UI plugins like bufferline, neo-tree, or lualine
- You want a lightweight, configurable transparency toggle
When to avoid
- You use a GUI Neovim build where terminal transparency doesn't apply the same way
- You want full theme customization rather than just background removal
- You don't use Neovim
