# Migration guide from v1 to v2

Hello there!

I am so happy to see you here and being interested in using new version of
tmux-gruvbox theme.

I really try to do all my best giving you new, interesting features that you
probably always wanted to have.

In here I also wanted to thank you all people involved in contributing to this
theme 🙏🙇. Especially for adding all suggestions, or reporting problems if
they occurred - this helped a lot!

## What's new?

There are couple of great things ahead:

- new themes supporting 16-bit color palette
- new fully customizable spaces A, X, Y, Z for your disposal
- support for transparency (experimental)
- and many more

See what's new in [CHANGELOG][docs-changelog].

## Breaking changes

I planned to have best possible user experience between migrating from v1 and v2,
therefore tried to build new changes this way to keep the breaking changes
as low as possible. This was not ideal, although I believe for many this would not
require many changes and for some none.

### Theme names change

| v1 | v2 | description |
| :-----------------: | :--------: | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `dark` | `dark256` | |
| `light` | `light256` | |
| `dark-transparent` || set `dark` or `dark256` theme and add `@tmux-gruvbox-statusbar-alpha` |
| `light-transparent` || set `light` or `light256` theme and add `@tmux-gruvbox-statusbar-alpha` |

In v2 we've introduced a 16-bit color themes that should give the users more
happiness utilizing a greater amount of supported colors (full gruvbox palette).

Therefore in v1 theme `light` & `dark` has been simply renamed and `256` postfix
has been added to indicate used palette.

> [!NOTE]
> While implementing 16-bit colors I realized that many users (including me) had
> problems with setting up correct the color interpretation in their workspace
> to support multiple colors.
>
> Here is the page
> [True Color (24-bit) and italics with alacritty + tmux + vim (neovim)][github-gist-andersevenrud-alacritty-tmux-vim-truecolor]
> where I found great wisdom how to adjust my terminal, especially when used
> alacritty, tmux & neovim.
### Fallback theme name

| v1 | v2 |
| :----: | :-------: |
| `dark` | `dark256` |

Continuing topic of introducing 16-bit colors, we have make slight change in
fallback theme name. We love idea adding new colors to our theme, although
during those changes we cannot forget about users whose terminals might not
support more then basic 256 colors. Therefore the fallback theme name also has
to be adapted and in v2 it's `dark256`.

## FAQ

### Plugin not upgrading automaticaly with tmux update

Error ([source](https://github.com/egel/tmux-gruvbox/issues/21#issuecomment-2373794273)):

```
"tmux-gruvbox" update fail
| fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/master
```

Solution:

We recently migrate from `master` to `main` as the primary branch, therefore tmux plugin manager using old reference to master and it's not possible to pull.

The simplest way would be to:

1. remove the plugin `rm -rf ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-gruvbox`
2. and reinstall it again via tpm key-binding `<prefix>` + `I`.
