How do I remove the background highlighting from the linenumber column?

[rew1nter]

I want to have the yellow foreground color of the line number but not the background highlight. Is it possible ?

Set the CursorLineNr highlight group's background to empty.

For example, when using lazy.nvim, you'd set this in config for the plugin:

return {
  {
    "ellisonleao/gruvbox.nvim",
    config = function()
      require("gruvbox").setup({
        overrides = {
          CursorLineNr = { bg = "" },
        },
      })
    end,
  },
}
