Dim nvim-tree when inactive

[dbarrosop]

Hello,
first of all, this plugin is great :)

I have the following configuration to dim inactive panes:

vim.cmd([[
	hi ActiveWindow guibg=#191919
	hi InactiveWindow guibg=#282828
]])

vim.o.winhighlight = "Normal:ActiveWindow,NormalNC:InactiveWindow"

So I was wondering if it would possible to support NormalNC in this plugin so it dims automatically.

Thanks for this great plugin :)

could you try #705 and tell me if it works for you ?

[dbarrosop]

Yes, it seems to do the trick :)

The only issue is that there is some artifact I am not sure where it's coming from. See attached screenshot. Notice there is an almost black column to the left of the tree:

Otherwise, it works as intended, you can see it's "dimmed" like the panel at the bottom.

Thanks!

nice. The black column on the left is the signcolumn. If you do not use the lsp diagnostics feature, you could just disable it with:
require'nvim-tree.view'.View.winopts.signcolumn = 'no'
if you do use the feature, maybe you'll probably need to bind a signcolumn color update on bufenter with some logic to detect if the tree is focused.

Yeah, you are right, that was the signcolumn, but it should followed the dimness too. I played a bit with this and I found that the problem seems to be the line 'SignColumn:NvimTreeNormal'. If I remove that line it works as expected:
