Colorscheme

Switching colors

To switch color schemes on the fly, use <leader>sc (:Telescope colorscheme)

You can also press <leader>sp to cycle through colorschemes with a preview.

To change the color scheme permanently, modify config.lua

lvim.colorscheme = "desert"

Installing colorschemes

You can add any colorscheme you like. Just add a plugin with the colorscheme of your choice. For more information on installing plugins look here.

This is a list of colorschemes with tree-sitter support

Customizing some colors

You can customize the highlight groups by overriding them in an autocommand. To find the group you want to change use leader s H (:Telescope highlights), :TSHighlightCapturesUnderCursor or :Inspect

lvim.autocommands = {
  {
    { "ColorScheme" },
    {
      pattern = "*",
      callback = function()
        -- change `Normal` to the group you want to change
        -- and `#ffffff` to the color you want
        -- see `:h nvim_set_hl` for more options
        vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "Normal", { bg = "#ffffff", underline = false, bold = true })
      end,
    },
  },
}

Transparent Windows

If you're using transparent windows enable this setting

lvim.transparent_window = true

That enables the following settings

cmd "au ColorScheme * hi Normal ctermbg=none guibg=none"
cmd "au ColorScheme * hi SignColumn ctermbg=none guibg=none"
cmd "au ColorScheme * hi NormalNC ctermbg=none guibg=none"
cmd "au ColorScheme * hi MsgArea ctermbg=none guibg=none"
cmd "au ColorScheme * hi TelescopeBorder ctermbg=none guibg=none"
cmd "au ColorScheme * hi NvimTreeNormal ctermbg=none guibg=none"
cmd "let &fcs='eob: '"
