--[[ Highlite, a Neovim colorscheme template. * Author: Iron-E (https://github.com/Iron-E) * Repository: https://github.com/nvim-highlite Rewrite of RNB, a Vim colorsheme template. * Author: Romain Lafourcade (https://github.com/romainl) * Canonical URL: https://github.com/romainl/vim-rnb ]] --[[ Introduction This template is designed to help vimmers create their own colorschemes without much effort. You will not need any additional tooling to run this file. Just open it in Neovim and follow the instructions— the colorscheme will generate be generated automatically. The process is divided in five steps: 1. Rename the template, 2. Edit your colorscheme's information, 3. Define your colors, 4. Define your highlight groups and links, and 5. Sourcing your colorscheme. ]] --[[ Step 1: renaming If this file is distributed with a colorscheme it's probably already named correctly and you can skip this step. If you forked/cloned/copied this repository to create your own colorscheme, you will have to rename this template to match the name of your colorscheme. NOTE: Neovim doesn't really care about whitespace in the name of the colorscheme but it does for filenames so make sure your filename doesn't have any whitespace character. | colorscheme name | template filename | |:-----------------:|:-----------------:| | foobar | foobar.lua | | foo-bar | foo-bar.lua | | foo bar | foo-bar.lua or | | foo_bar | foo_bar.lua | ]] --[[ Step 2: information Make sure the name of your colorscheme is unique and attractive. ]] local name = 'highlite' --[[ Step 3: colors Next you will define all of the colors that you will use for the color scheme. Each one should be made up of three parts: ```lua = { -- Give each color a distinctive name. , -- Hexadecimal color used in GVim/MacVim or 'NONE'. <256-bit color code>, -- Integer 0–255 used by terminals supporting 256 colors or 'NONE'. <16-bit color code> -- color name used by less capable color terminals, can be 'darkred', 'red', 'darkgreen', 'green', 'darkyellow', 'yellow', 'darkblue', 'blue', 'darkmagenta', 'magenta', 'black', 'darkgrey', 'grey', 'white', or 'NONE' } ``` If your colors are defined correctly, the resulting colorscheme is guaranteed to work in GVim (Windows/Linux), MacVim (MacOS), and any properly set up terminal emulator. ]] local black = {'#202020', 0, 'black'} local gray = {'#808080', 244, 'gray' } local gray_dark = {'#353535', 236, 'darkgrey'} local gray_darker = {'#505050', 244, 'gray'} local gray_light = {'#c0c0c0', 251, 'gray'} local white = {'#ffffff', 15, 'white'} local brown_light = {'#fca070', 178, 'darkyellow'} local tan = {'#f4c069', 180, 'darkyellow'} local red = {'#ee4a59', 196, 'red'} local red_dark = {'#a80000', 124, 'darkred'} local red_light = {'#ff4090', 203, 'red'} local orange = {'#ff8900', 208, 'darkyellow'} local orange_light = {'#f0af00', 214, 'yellow'} local yellow = {'#f0df33', 220, 'yellow'} local green_dark = {'#50de60', 83, 'darkgreen'} local green = {'#77ff00', 72, 'green'} local green_light = {'#a0ff70', 72, 'green'} local blue = {'#7090ff', 63, 'darkblue'} local cyan = {'#00efff', 87, 'cyan'} local ice = {'#80b5ff', 63, 'cyan'} local teal = {'#6ac0c0', 38, 'cyan'} local turqoise = {'#2bff99', 33, 'blue'} local magenta = {'#d5508f', 126, 'magenta'} local magenta_dark = {'#bb0099', 126, 'darkmagenta'} local pink = {'#ffa6ff', 162, 'magenta'} local pink_light = {'#ffb7b7', 38, 'white'} local purple = {'#cf55f0', 129, 'magenta'} local purple_light = {'#af60af', 63, 'magenta'} local purple_dark = {'#c700ff', 38, 'darkmagenta'} --[[ Step 4: highlights You can define highlight groups like this: ```lua = { bg=, -- The color used for background color, or use 'NONE', 'fg' or 'bg' fg=, -- The color used for foreground color, or use 'NONE', 'fg' or 'bg' -- Style can be 'bold', 'italic', and more. See |attr-list| for more information. style= -- style can also have a color, and/or multiple s. style={ [, ] [color=]}) } ``` The sample above tells Vim to render normal text in dark gray against a white background, without any other styling. Or you can link an highlight group to another. Here, 'Title' will inherit its style from 'Normal': ```lua Title = {link='Normal'} ``` In GUI Vim, there is an additional color for the undercurl used to highlight spelling mistakes: ```lua SpellBad = { -- ← name of the highlight group bg='NONE', -- background color fg=red, -- foureground color style={ -- the style 'undercurl', -- undercurl (squiggly line) color=red -- the color of the undercurl } } ``` If you weren't satisfied with undercurl, and also wanted another effect, you can add another one below 'undercurl' and it will be applied as well: ```lua SpellBad = { -- ← name of the highlight group bg='NONE', -- background color fg=red, -- foureground color style={ -- the style 'undercurl', -- undercurl (squiggly line) 'standout' color=red -- the color of the undercurl } } ``` The sample above tells Vim to render badly spelled words in red against the current background, with a red undercurl. You can add any custom highlight group to the standard list below but you shouldn't remove any if you want a working colorscheme. Most of them are described under :help highlight-default, the others are taken from :help group-name. Both help sections are good reads, by the way. ]] --[[ DO NOT EDIT THESE.

'I Made My Own Colour Scheme and You Can Too!'. * https://cmcenroe.me/2018/04/03/colour-scheme.html A few general advices: * The Windows console is limited to the 16 so-called 'ANSI' colors but it used to have a few of them interverted which makes numbers impractical. Use color names instead of numbers: :help cterm-colors * The Windows console (yeah…) doesn't do italics, underlines or bolded text; it is limited to normal and reverse. Keep that in mind if you want your colorscheme to be usable in as many environments as possible by as many people as possible. * Actually, terminal emulators rarely do italics. * The Windows Terminal, however, is capable of more. * All of the terminal emulators in use these days allow their users to change the 16 so-called 'ANSI' colors. It is also possible on some platforms to change some or all of the 256 colors in the xterm palette. Don't take anything for granted. * When used against a light background, strong colors work better than muted ones. Light or dark doesn't really matters. Also, it is harder to discriminate between two similar colors on a light background. * Both strong and muted colors work well against a dark background. It is also easier to work with similar colors, but dark colors don't work at all. * Use as many text samples as possible. String-heavy languages may look completely different than keyword-heavy ones. This can have an impact on the usability of your colorscheme. * Most terminal emulators and terminal multiplexers currently in use on unix-like systems support 256 colors but they almost always default to a '$TERM' that tells Vim otherwise. Your users will need to make sure their terminal emulator/multiplexer is correctly set up if they want to enjoy the best possible experience. Many thanks to Barry Arthur (https://github.com/dahu) for the original idea. * You don't need to edit anything beyond this line. * ]] require(name ..
