Alduin VS anvil

Please give the author a star if you like it :) (like I did) Credit: AlessandroYorba/Alduin

Dracula is a fine theme, however, I feel like it's more convenient than it is pretty. I admire Dracula, Nord, and Gruvbox and how committed they are to their own aesthetics - my personal favorite, similar to Gruvbox, is Alduin[0] but sadly it's for Vim only.

I only wish popular themes didn't feel like they had to use every primary color for the text. I wish we took the popular themes and made them even more opinionated, fewer colors with greater emphasis. At the end of the day most themes nowadays are just different shades of all rainbow text over your choice of a light or dark background. Dark or light... It reminds me of that theory about how early humans, before having words for different colors, only had light and dark to describe things.

Does anyone have any recommendations for opinionated color schemes with limited palettes with emphasis on particular colors instead of just dark/light?

Thanks! I ended up going with alduin. Making a color scheme is just too hard T.T

hey sorry for the late reply it's called Alduin

For lspconfig this (https://github.com/talha-akram/anvil/blob/master/lua/plugins/lspconfig.lua) will get you 90% of the way there.

It is very easy to write your own in Lua you might even find it easier than using a plugin! check out this blog https://elianiva.my.id/post/neovim-lua-statusline and one I made based on it https://github.com/talha-akram/anvil/blob/master/lua/configuration/statusline.lua

Anvil is very lean, It has very few plugins and mostly well documented code, you can use it as is if it serves your needs or use it as a reference to make your own setup (which is recommended).

I used to love this theme (you can even see it in my old screenshots https://github.com/talha-akram/anvil) but over time I started to prefer lower contrast themes now the same neon colors are jarring to me.
