Light/Dark mode not working with nvim 0.12.0

[tonyhieu]

Hi all,

I apologize if I've missed something obvious, but I'm having trouble getting the light/dark mode to work with nvim 0.12.0. I tested this issue using two macOS machines with the LazyVim starter on ghostty 1.3.1. One machine had nvim 0.11.5 installed while the other had 0.12.0 installed. On the former machine, the color scheme changes based on my system light and dark mode, while it is always on dark mode on the latter machine.

Similar to Discussion 629, running set background? returns dark no matter what. I was also unable to fix the issue with require("catppuccin").setup { flavour = "auto" } as suggested in Issue 682.

My config is very similar to the LazyVim starter. Is there any way to fix the config to get the light/dark mode updating to work again? I apologize if this is already a known issue that is being worked on after the release of 0.12.0 or if this is an issue not related to catppuccin at all.

neovim recently started shipping with a limited builtin catppuccin implementation.
make sure that you set the theme with :colorscheme catppuccin-nvim (notice the -nvim part).
if that doesnt work could you open an issue and fill in the issue template ~ that helps us debug whatever is going on
