How to Make Neovim Backround Transparent

Posted by Chaitanya Shahare on Sat, Feb 18, 2023

Add the following lines to your .vimrc for Vim and init.vim for Neovim:

Vimscript (for Vim and Neovim with `init.vim`)

highlight Normal guibg=none
highlight NonText guibg=none
highlight Normal ctermbg=none
highlight NonText ctermbg=none

Lua (for Neovim with `init.lua`)

vim.cmd [[
  highlight Normal guibg=none
  highlight NonText guibg=none
  highlight Normal ctermbg=none
  highlight NonText ctermbg=none
]]

This should make your Vim / Neovim background transparent.
