    I like to apply Nord liberally to everything. I’ve found this one to be much better than the official nord package. shaunsingh/nord.nvim

  • A pragmatic approach to migrating from VSCode to Neovim

    Neovim supports any Vim theme, but I focussed on exclusive extensions where sensible, like it is in the case of colour schemes. In fact, an acclaimed addition to the 0.5 Neovim release was the support for tree-sitter, which provides advanced code parsing functionalities. That means it offers, among other mouth-filling wizardries, support for better syntax highlighting. The nvim-treesitter repository lists supported languages and compatible themes. I found shaunsingh/nord.nvim, avarasu/onedark.nvim, sainnhe/edge and rose-pine/neovim simply irresistible.

  • 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)!
