changing background color of lualine with rose-pine

[Zynh0722]

I'm rather new to the vim world, but I've got something so very close to being absolutely fantastic

Basically all I want to do is change the bg of the space behind the filename and such to none rather than base.

But honestly I've not a clue what black magic is going on for rose-pine to be an acceptable option for a lualine theme, let alone what I need to do to tinker with it.

I thinkkkk all Im trying to do is change the c section bg, which I tried to do the way lualine's README states, but that didnt work, likely because rose-pine isn't a lualine theme.

After further investigation, I tried requring rose-pine.lualine, boy did it not like that.

Is what I'm trying to do possible in a thus far unexplored by me avenue?

require("rose-pine").setup()

local theme = require("lualine.themes.rose-pine")
local modes = { "normal", "insert", "visual", "replace", "command", "inactive" }
for _, mode in ipairs(modes) do
  theme[mode].c.bg = "NONE"
end

require("lualine").setup({
  options = {
    theme = theme,
  },
})

Well, I have tried to get that to work.

It's almost certainly something to do with my setup, but I wasn't sure how to modify the load order of my after/ directory

So I moved my configs for rose-pine and lualine into my packerfile, so it gets compiled into my packer-compiled

I tried using after to put lualine further into the config line, but honestly, I'm not sure why it doesn't work.

my packer lua

Actually that snippet gave me error (I wrote it on my phone without any testing):

Try this:

local custom_auto = require("lualine.themes.auto")
custom_auto.normal.c.bg = "NONE"

I looked in your lualine config. You need to set a theme in options.

            -- Set lualine as statusline
            -- See `:help lualine.txt`
            require('lualine').setup {
                options = {
                    theme = custom_auto, -- <--
                    icons_enabled = false,
                    theme = 'rose-pine',
                    component_separators = '|',
                    section_separators = '',
                },
            }
        end
    }

Oh my goodness, I totally did forget to put the customized theme in the theme spot, rather than default rose-pine.

Thank you so much! I was able to go back to my original config setup, with configs in dedicated files.

My packer file is once again clean (at least of my rose-pine and lualine configs :P)
