Describe the bug

My config is giving me a different color set on day from what is shown in the README. My config:

  {
    'folke/tokyonight.nvim',
    lazy = false,
    priority = 1000,
    config = function()
      require('tokyonight').setup({
        style = 'night',
        light_style = 'day',
        terminal_colors = true,
        sidebars = { 'qf', 'help', 'terminal' },
        day_brightness = 0.3,
      })

      vim.cmd.colorscheme('tokyonight')
    end,
  }

Am I doing something wrong?

Expected Behavior

detailed above

Repro

-- DO NOT change the paths and don't remove the colorscheme
local root = vim.fn.fnamemodify("./.repro", ":p")

-- set stdpaths to use .repro
for _, name in ipairs({ "config", "data", "state", "cache" }) do
  vim.env[("XDG_%s_HOME"):format(name:upper())] = root .. "/" .. name
end

-- bootstrap lazy
local lazypath = root .. "/plugins/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", lazypath, })
end
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)

-- install plugins
local plugins = {
  "folke/tokyonight.nvim",
  {
    'folke/tokyonight.nvim',
    lazy = false,
    priority = 1000,
    config = function()
      require('tokyonight').setup({
        style = 'night',
        light_style = 'day',
        terminal_colors = true,
        sidebars = { 'qf', 'help', 'terminal' },
        day_brightness = 0.3,
      })

      vim.cmd.colorscheme('tokyonight')
    end,
  },
  -- add any other plugins here
}
require("lazy").setup(plugins, {
  root = root .. "/plugins",
})

vim.cmd.colorscheme("tokyonight")
-- add anything else here

I have exactly the same problem. Other types of buffers defined as sidebars, like help and the quickfix list, are also lighter.

It seems that the light theme is not very used, so this wasn't noticed for a while. :/

I thought this could be due to my wezterm config, but I think I'm using the right themes:

if wezterm.gui.get_appearance():find('Dark') then
  config.color_scheme = 'tokyonight_night'
else
  config.color_scheme = 'tokyonight_day'
end

And from wezterm docs:

Author: folke
Source: https://github.com/folke/tokyonight.nvim
This scheme is also known as tokyonight-day.

To use this scheme, add this to your config:


config.color_scheme = 'tokyonight_day'

# ...

To use this scheme, add this to your config:


config.color_scheme = 'tokyonight_night'

Hacky solution:

require('tokyonight').setup({
  style = 'storm',
  light_style = 'day',
  on_colors = function(colors)
    local bg_dark = colors.bg
    local bg = colors.bg_sidebar
    colors.bg = bg
    colors.bg_sidebar = bg_dark
  end
})
