I have not yet jumped into theming everything with Gruvbox yet, but man, I do default towards it hard. Recently I needed to pick a theme for Newsboat (terminal RSS reader), because its default theme wasn't legible with a light terminal background, so I randomly select their universal-color theme to check out first and it hits me with this beauty:

(Bonus gruvboxy shell prompt in terminal below. 🙃)
I didn't even look at the other themes anymore, to the point where I realized only just now that they actually have a dedicated gruvbox theme. Unfortunately, it actually looks less gruvboxy...
That shell prompt looks fire! 🔥
It's Starship with the Gruvbox Rainbow preset (with customization to fit my needs): https://starship.rs/presets/gruvbox-rainbow
Since you're already using a Nerd font, this shouldn't be too difficult for you to set up, if you want it.
Thanks! I'll make sure to look into that.
I opened this thread to give you shit for gruvbox being dull and dreay but that looks really nice with the pop of colour.
Thank you!
