vim VS edge

Nord.

vim-plug, nord-vim, lightline

Both Vim [1] and Emacs[2] are on the ports page [0]. In Emacs it's as easy to install as `package-install nord-theme` and then `load-theme nord`. I will note that I tried it out in Emacs running in Windows Terminal and it looks terrible, completely different from the demo and almost unusable - I quickly went back to one of the default themes, tango-dark. This is probably only going to work in the GUI version.

Looks like Nord

There are no third-party themes in the docs. Most screenshots in Nord Vim's docs show how the theme looks like by default and if this is not the case on your system than the chance it high that your local setup is broken. Also please note that Neovim is currently not a supported application (yet) and the theme is built for "Vanilla" Vim.

There are plenty of other amazing plugins. Also, have fun looking through colorschemes to make vim look pretty! Check out https://vimcolorschemes.com/ or https://github.com/rafi/awesome-vim-colorschemes. I use eva01 (https://github.com/hachy/eva01.vim). Others I've liked are nord (https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim), orbital (https://github.com/fcpg/vim-orbital), and gotham (https://github.com/whatyouhide/vim-gotham).

Recently, I've taken up focusing my early mornings on writing and I'm currently using the Nord theme.

copy your favourite theme (let's say https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim), give it new name, change the colors.

This color scheme has a Light option that i like, but i can't find out how to configure it. I can set the colorscheme to edge, but i can't find how to set edge to the light variant.

I use https://github.com/sainnhe/edge

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.

Edge

https://github.com/sainnhe/edge — I've been using this for a while. I use both the dark and light and switch between them, as needed.

I've been using edge (https://github.com/sainnhe/edge). I quite like one dark colour scheme and this has stuck with me for the longest time (5-6 months and still counting).

The colorscheme is edge with italics activated for everything.

Those are settings for ctermbg/ctermfg in hl groupa. I'm taking about colors for :terminal (example https://github.com/sainnhe/edge/blob/48b0c85e093a4fb9eeb00092b85ba66555e924b1/colors/edge.vim#L312)
