# WHY



### Changes made and justification.

1. Fixed `set background=light`

Original issue:
```vim
set background=dark
```

Applied fiex
```vim
set background=light
```

Justification:
Catppuccin Latte is a light theme according to the official Catppuccin documentation. Using background=dark created inconsistencies with the color palette designed for light backgrounds.

[Vim :help 'background'](https://vimhelp.org/options.txt.html#%2527background%2527)
---------------

2. Fixed syntax in `ErrorMsg`

Original issue:

```vim
call s:hi("ErrorMsg", "NONE", s:red, "NONE", "bolditalic", "bold,italic")
```

Applied fix:

```vim
call s:hi("ErrorMsg", "NONE", s:red, "NONE", "bold,italic", "bold,italic")
```

Justification:
In Vim, text attributes must be separated by commas, not concatenated. "bolditalic" is not a valid attribute, while "bold,italic" is the correct syntax.

[Vim :help attr-list](https://vimhelp.org/syntax.txt.html#attr-list)
[Vim :help highlight-args](https://vimhelp.org/syntax.txt.html#%253Ahighlight-args)

3. Added `termguicolors` support.

New functionality added:

```vim
if has('termguicolors')
set termguicolors
endif
```

Justification:
termguicolors enables true 24-bit color (True Color) support in modern terminals, allowing exact hexadecimal colors to be displayed instead of being limited to the 256-color palette.

Documentation:

[Vim :help 'termguicolors'](https://vimhelp.org/options.txt.html#%2527termguicolors%2527)

[True Color in Vim - Comprehensive Guide](https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728)

4. Optimized `s:hi` function

Original Code:

```vim
function! s:hi(group, guisp, guifg, guibg, gui, cterm)
let cmd = ""
if a:guisp != ""
let cmd = cmd . " guisp=" . a:guisp
endif
" ... (similar conditions)
if cmd != ""
exec "hi " . a:group . cmd
endif
endfunction
```

Optimized version:

```vim
function! s:hi(group, guisp, guifg, guibg, gui, cterm)
let l:cmd = []
if a:guisp != "" | call add(l:cmd, 'guisp=' . a:guisp) | endif
if a:guifg != "" | call add(l:cmd, 'guifg=' . a:guifg) | endif
if a:guibg != "" | call add(l:cmd, 'guibg=' . a:guibg) | endif
if a:gui != "" | call add(l:cmd, 'gui=' . a:gui) | endif
if a:cterm != "" | call add(l:cmd, 'cterm=' . a:cterm) | endif

if !empty(l:cmd)
execute 'hi ' . a:group . ' ' . join(l:cmd, ' ')
endif
endfunction
```

Justification:

List usage: More efficient than string concatenation

Local variable (l:cmd): Better scope practices

!empty() check: More readable than empty string comparison

Space handling: Eliminates command spacing issues

Documentation:

5. Correct initialization hierarchy 🏗️

Optimized structure:
```vim

set background=light " ← Set background first
hi clear " ← Then clear highlights
syntax reset " ← Finally reset syntax
```
Justification:
The correct order ensures changes are applied in the proper sequence, preventing conflicts between existing and new configuration.

Documentation:

[Vim :help :hi-clear](https://vimhelp.org/syntax.txt.html#%253Ahi-clear)
[Vim :help :syntax-reset](https://vimhelp.org/syntax.txt.html#%253Asyntax-reset)
