Troubleshooting

1. Effect of gruvbox_256palette.sh gets reset on Alt-Tab

That's known issue with Ubuntu GTK-themes and//or VTE-based terminals. Refer † for more details. Known affected terms are Gnome Terminal, Terminator and Lilyterm and probably more VTE-based. Though, with Lilyterm option 'Dim text when inactive' set off, everything works fine. There is no known solution//workaround to fix this. If you're disappointed with such behavior, please report issues to terminal developers, there no thing I can currently do with that.

2. Cannot set contrast

If you are setting the value of g:gruvbox_contrast_dark or g:gruvbox_contrast_light and do not see any change try setting the contrast before colorscheme gruvbox in your configuration.

3. Cursor in insert mode not visible in iTerm is not visible

• Open iTerm settings -> Profiles -> Colors

• Change cursor color to white

• Enable Smart box cursor color
