Introduction

nvim-highlite is a colorscheme template repository for Neovim 0.5+.

This template's focus is on two things:

1. Compatability with semantic highlighting.
   • I was using colorschemes that often did not provide enough highlight groups to provide distinction between tokens.
2. Visibility in any range of blue-light.
   • I use redshift often, and I many colorschemes did not allow for me to see when I had lower color temperatures.

It provides a large supply of defaults for plugins and programming languages as a result of defining a smaller set of "categorical" highlights (you can read more about this at Neovim's group-name help page).

Prerequisites

1. Neovim 0.5+

Usage

This repository should be cloned with git clone https://github.com/Iron-E/nvim-highlite, and then:

1. Rename lua/highlite/ to lua/<name of your colorscheme>/.
2. Follow the directions in lua/<name of your colorscheme>/init.lua.
3. Rename colors/highlite.vim to colors/<name of your colorscheme>.vim.
4. Follow the instructions in colors/<name of your colorscheme>.vim.
5. Install the colorscheme:
   • With a plugin manager (like vim-plug).
   • By merging the colors and lua folders with the ones in your stdpath('config') directory.
6. Source with colorscheme highlite / colorscheme <name of colorscheme> in your init.vim.
