Theme does not apply after installing with packer about astrotheme HOT 7 CLOSED

You are probably having a load order issue, where those highlights are being set then the theme is loading overwriting your changes, so it seems you have 2 options to resolve this:

1. Setup and autocmd that will set your highlights every time a theme is set.
2. Most themes including Astrotheme have settings that allow you to override the themes highlights.

I'll be closing this now as the original issue is resolved.

oh i think i know what might be wrong.

EDIT: nope actually this error would error in lazy as well, that's confusing

If there is any further info you need let me know

I can't really test with packer right now, does packer run require("astrotheme").setup() automatically ?

Could you also try to run colorscheme astrotheme

edit: it seems like for what ever reason the setup logic is unable to find the palettes folder that is really strange.

Last night is when I first started playing around with neovim and configuring it, so I'm not sure what you mean. Here is my nvim/lua/user/packer.lua file contents so far:

-- This file can be loaded by calling `lua require('plugins')` from your init.vim

-- Only required if you have packer configured as `opt`
vim.cmd [[packadd packer.nvim]]

return require('packer').startup(function(use)
  -- Packer can manage itself
  use 'wbthomason/packer.nvim'

  use "AstroNvim/astrotheme"

  --[[ Used this theme to test whether it was a general problem with my setup, or just with that specific theme.
  Nightfly works fine
  use { "bluz71/vim-nightfly-colors", as = "nightfly" }
  vim.cmd [[colorscheme nightfly ]]
  --]]
  use {
	  'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim', tag = '0.1.1',
	  -- or                            , branch = '0.1.x',
	  requires = { {'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'} }
  }

  use('nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter', {run =  ':TSUpdate'})

end)

Also, running the command colorscheme astrotheme give me the error in my original issue post. However, if I try to use tab completion after typing :colorscheme astrotheme does show up in the list, as well as astrolight and astrodark.

from astrotheme.

try

use {
    "AstroNvim/astrotheme",
     config = function() 
     	require("astrotheme").setup()
     end,
}

from astrotheme.

That seems to work, however previously I had the following lines for transparency:

vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "Normal", { bg = "none" })
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "NormalFloat", { bg = "none" })

to make the background transparent in a colors.lua file in the after/ directory. The only way the astrotheme will enable on starting nvim is if I comment those lines out. Any idea why that is, and how I can get transparency to work with this theme?

Thank you.
