Project Board
## Features
### Plugin Support
#### UI
❯ Added basic support for [CtrlP][plugin-ctrlp]. (PR #33, @syedelec)
* Matched characters are using the keyword color instead of the normal text color to make matched characters visible
* Already opened buffers now take the normal text color instead of the comment color
❯ Added basic support [ALE][plugin-ale]. (PR #44, @meck)
* Warning signs are colorized using a `nord13` foreground
* Error signs are colorized using a `nord11` foreground instead of a red background with a white foreground
## Improvements
### UI
❯ The fold marker foreground has been adjusted to match the comment color instead of `nord1` which has been too dark causing them to be unreadable in bright environments. The background color has also been changed to `nord1` to differ from normal comments and the font style is now bold for better legibility. (#38 in PR #40, @dylnmc)
❯ The highlight text of a active substitute search result is now underlined in order to make it more recognizable. (#35 in PR #41, @KevinSjoberg)
#### Neovim
❯ Addded support for the Neovim specific `:CheckHealth` status highlight groups. (#31 in PR #42, @syedelec, Thanks to @dylnmc)

## Features
### [Configurations][readme-configuration]
❯ Added a configuration to enable [italic comments](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim#italic-comments).
To adhere to the Nord style guide this option is disabled by default. It can be enabled by setting the `g:nord_italic_comments` variable to `1`.
```vim
let g:nord_italic_comments = 1
```

# 0.3.0
*2017-01-24*
## Improvements
### Plugin Support
❯ The [Nord lightline.vim][nord-lightline] UI plugin theme now includes better support for the [tmuxline.vim](https://github.com/edkolev/tmuxline.vim) plugin. Before this implementation text shown in the main segment of the tmuxline, generated via the `:Tmuxline lightline` command, has been colorized using `nord0` which resulted in unreadable text due to a `nord3` background.
This has been fixed by using `nord5` as foreground color. (@scottwillmoore, #11, 4ea37f7e)

With unicode separators
Without specified configurations (tmuxline.vim autodetect)

# 0.2.0

❯ Characters under block cursors are now colored darker (`nord0`) while the block cursor is visible to achieve a optimal contrast and to avoid unreadability due to the same cursor- and foreground color (`nord4`). (@arcticicestudio / @scottwillmoore, #9, 30e1f7e3)
Before
After
❯ The background color of visual mode selections is now colored in `nord1` instead of `nord3` to avoid a color collision with comments which has led to unreadable text.(@scottwillmoore, #7, bdb209f5)
