  • CosmicNvim - New Themes!
    6 projects | /r/neovim | 15 Nov 2021
    Hi everyone! I’m happy to announce that CosmicNvim now includes first-class support for 4 additional themes on top of the default for a total of 5 themes to choose from! The current selection: - [Catppuccino](https://github.com/Pocco81/Catppuccino.nvim) - [Gruvbox](https://github.com/ellisonleao/gruvbox.nvim) - [Rose-pine](https://github.com/rose-pine/neovim) - [Nord](https://github.com/shaunsingh/nord.nvim) - [Tokyonight](https://github.com/folke/tokyonight.nvim) Repo: https://github.com/mattleong/CosmicNvim (⭐️’s are very appreciated!) I’ve previously said that I wouldn’t implement first class theme support for CosmicNvim outside of the default theme… Well, I guess I changed my mind. 😅 For one, it’s probably been the most requested feature. For another, I want to be able to swap and play around with themes easily as well. My initial reason for _not_ wanting to include additional theme support was because I was worried about what sort of complexity it would bring. Turns out it’s not so bad and doesn’t overly bloat the codebase. If you have any suggestions for themes you’d like to see implemented, please feel free to drop them in the open [issue](https://github.com/mattleong/CosmicNvim/issues/25)!

    https://github.com/Pocco81/Catppuccino.nvim has support for colorized undercurls, but haven’t tried it yet, so I can say if it works or not
  • What's your neovim colorscheme?

    same, but are you using the old colorschemes or the remastered theme? In case you are interested, here you can see what led to the creation of the remastered theme.

    Nice one! Btw would it be possible for you to allow custom hi groups? I personally would use this to create an integration for my colorscheme.
  • Is is possible to create a simple vim theme like this without a ton of work and inefficient code? Maybe with Tree-sitter?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 27 Oct 2021
    Not sure if it helps but I have my own colorscheme named Catppuccino (side note: colors will be refactored soon). It has a bunch of integrations and basically everything you'd expect from a full featured theme.

    Powerline (and airline, as well as all plugins of that kind) offers, among other things, a GUI that helps you manage buffers and tabs. There are plugins that do just that and nothing else, which are best used alongside powerline/airline/etc, for example bufferline.
