For the love of Gruvbox

Added 2021-08-16 16:00:09 +0000 UTC

I re-riced my dwm setup this last week, and chose Gruvbox as my theme. Now, I know what you're thinking. Matt. You always rice your shit. How is this news?

It's not. But I just wanted to say that I've fallen in love with gruvbox. I don't know what it is. I can't really stand the color brown normally. It's just not my color. I've always been a more bright guy. But gruvbox really works for me. I love the contrast, but it's not as dark as the usual black (#2a2a2a) background I usually go with on my custom color schemes. It just works.

The question, of course, remains: Will this be a rice I stick with for a while?

The last rice I used for multiple months was the Ocean Material theme. That's a great little color scheme, and I'll got back to it one day. I think gruvbox will have a similar life span on my dwm install. The only downside is that I've changed my nvim to gruv as well, and it doesn't fit in with the rest of my wm rices. So I guess I have to go rice those as well now.

What's your favorite color scheme?

Matt
