Catppuccin for (Neo)vim

This port of Catppuccin is special because it was the first one and the one that originated the project itself. Given this, it's important to acknowledge that it all didn't come to be what it is now out of nowhere. So, if you are interested in knowing more about the initial stages of the theme, you can find it under the v0.1 tag

Configuration

There is no need to call setup if you don't want to change the default options and settings.

require("catppuccin").setup({
    flavour = "mocha", -- latte, frappe, macchiato, mocha
    background = { -- :h background
        light = "latte",
        dark = "mocha",
    },
    transparent_background = false,
    show_end_of_buffer = false, -- show the '~' characters after the end of buffers
    term_colors = false,

        strings = {},
        variables = {},
        numbers = {},
        booleans = {},
        properties = {},
        types = {},
        operators = {},
    },
    color_overrides = {},
    custom_highlights = {},
    integrations = {
        cmp = true,
        gitsigns = true,
        nvimtree = true,
        telescope = true,
        notify = false,
        mini = false,
        -- For more plugins integrations please scroll down (https://github.com/catppuccin/nvim#integrations)
    },
})

-- setup must be called before loading
vim.cmd.colorscheme "catppuccin"

Although settings already have self-explanatory names, here is where you can find info about each one of them and their classifications!

General

This settings are unrelated to any group and are independent.

background: (Table) Match :set background=light/dark with :Catppuccin background.light/dark
term_colors: (Boolean) if true, sets terminal colors (e.g. g:terminal_color_0).
transparent_background: (Boolean) if true, disables setting the background color.

Dim inactive

This setting manages the ability to dim the inactive splits/windows/buffers displayed.

enabled: (Boolean) if true, dims the background color of inactive window or buffer or split.
shade: (string) sets the shade to apply to the inactive split or window or buffer.
percentage: (number 0 < x < 1) percentage of the shade to apply to the inactive window, split or buffer.

Styles

Handles the style of general hi groups (see :h highlight-args):

comments: (Table) changed the style of the comments.
functions: (Table) changed the style of the functions.
keywords: (Table) changed the style of the keywords.
strings: (Table) changed the style of the strings.
variables: (Table) changed the style of the variables.

Customize highlights

Get catppuccin colors

local latte = require("catppuccin.palettes").get_palette "latte"
local frappe = require("catppuccin.palettes").get_palette "frappe"
local macchiato = require("catppuccin.palettes").get_palette "macchiato"
local mocha = require("catppuccin.palettes").get_palette "mocha"

Will returns a table where the key is the name of the color and the value is its hex value corresponding to each flavour.

Overwriting colors

Colors can be overwritten using color_overrides in the setting, like so:

require("catppuccin").setup {
    color_overrides = {
        all = {
            text = "#ffffff",
        },
        latte = {
            base = "#ff0000",
            mantle = "#242424",
            crust = "#474747",
        },
        frappe = {},
        macchiato = {},
        mocha = {},
    }
}

Overwriting highlight groups

Global highlight groups can be overwritten in the setting like so:

custom_highlights = function(colors)
    return {
        <hl_group> = { <fields> }
    }
end

Here is an example:

require("catppuccin").setup {
    custom_highlights = function(colors)
        return {
            Comment = { fg = colors.flamingo },
            ["@constant.builtin"] = { fg = colors.peach, style = {} },
            ["@comment"] = { fg = colors.surface2, style = { "italic" } },
        }
    end
}

Per flavour highlight groups can be overwritten in the setting like so:

highlight_overrides = {
    all = function(colors) -- Global highlight, will be replaced with custom_highlights if exists
        return {
            <hl_group> = { <fields> }
        }
    end, -- Same for each flavour
    latte = function(latte) end,
    frappe = function(frappe) end,
    macchiato = function(macchiato) end,
    mocha = function(mocha) end,
}

Here is an example:

require("catppuccin").setup {
  highlight_overrides = {
        all = function(colors)
            return {
                NvimTreeNormal = { fg = colors.none },
                CmpBorder = { fg = "#3e4145" },
            }
        end,
        latte = function(latte)
            return {
                Normal = { fg = latte.base },
            }
        end,
        frappe = function(frappe)
            return {
                ["@comment"] = { fg = frappe.surface2, style = { "italic" } },
            }
        end,
        macchiato = function(macchiato)
            return {
                LineNr = { fg = macchiato.overlay1 },
            }
        end,
        mocha = function(mocha)
            return {
                Comment = { fg = mocha.flamingo },
            }
        end,
    },
}

"Special" module means Special integrations, see https://github.com/catppuccin/nvim#special-integrations for more details

These integrations allow catppuccin to set the theme of various plugins. To enable an integration you just need to set it to true, for example:

require("catppuccin").setup({
    integrations = {
        <module> = <boolean>
    }
})

Special integrations

barbecue.nvim

Use this to set it up (Note: catppuccin is the only valid theme name. It will pick the one set in your config):

require("barbecue").setup {
  theme = "catppuccin",
}

The directory name color shown is dimmed by default, you can customize this setting.

integrations = {
  barbecue = {
    dim_dirname = true,
    bold_basename = true,
    dim_context = false,
  }
}

bufferline.nvim

Update your bufferline config to use the Catppuccin components:

Note: bufferline needs to be loaded after setting up catppuccin or it will highlight incorrectly

use "akinsho/bufferline.nvim" {
  after = "catppuccin",
  config = function()
    require("bufferline").setup {
      highlights = require("catppuccin.groups.integrations.bufferline").get()
    }
  end
}

Configurations are self-explanatory, see :h bufferline-highlights for detailed explanations:

local mocha = require("catppuccin.palettes").get_palette "mocha"
bufferline.setup {
    highlights = require("catppuccin.groups.integrations.bufferline").get {
        styles = { "italic", "bold" },
        custom = {
            all = {
                fill = { bg = "#000000" },
            },
            mocha = {
                background = { fg = mocha.text },
            },
            latte = {
                background = { fg = "#000000" },
            },
        },
    },
}

coc.nvim

Setting enabled to true enables this integration.

coc_nvim = true,

Note: coc.nvim by default link to native lsp highlight groups so config from native_lsp will also apply to coc

In the inners tables you can set the style for the diagnostics, both virtual_text (what you see on the side) and underlines (what points directly at the thing (e.g. an error)).

native_lsp = {
    enabled = true,
    virtual_text = {
        errors = { "italic" },
        hints = { "italic" },
        warnings = { "italic" },
        information = { "italic" },
    },
    underlines = {
        errors = { "underline" },
        hints = { "underline" },
        warnings = { "underline" },
        information = { "underline" },
    },
},

feline.nvim

Update your Feline config to use the Catppuccin components:

local ctp_feline = require('catppuccin.groups.integrations.feline')

ctp_feline.setup()

require("feline").setup({
    components = ctp_feline.get(),
})

Notice that calling setup() is optional. You may pass a lua table in order to change assets, settings and the colors per vim mode.

Here are the defaults:

local clrs = require("catppuccin.palettes").get_palette()
local ctp_feline = require('catppuccin.groups.integrations.feline')
local U = require "catppuccin.utils.colors"

ctp_feline.setup({
    assets = {
        left_separator = "",
        right_separator = "",
        mode_icon = "",
        dir = "",
        file = "",
        lsp = {
            server = "",
            error = "",
            warning = "",
            info = "",
            hint = "",
        },
        git = {
            branch = "",
            added = "",
            changed = "",
            removed = "",
        },
    },
    sett = {
        text = U.vary_color({ latte = latte.base }, clrs.surface0),
        bkg = U.vary_color({ latte = latte.crust }, clrs.surface0),
        diffs = clrs.mauve,
        extras = clrs.overlay1,
        curr_file = clrs.maroon,
        curr_dir = clrs.flamingo,
        show_modified = true -- show if the file has been modified
    },
    mode_colors = {
        ["n"] = { "NORMAL", clrs.lavender },
        ["no"] = { "N-PENDING", clrs.lavender },
        ["i"] = { "INSERT", clrs.green },
        ["ic"] = { "INSERT", clrs.green },
        ["t"] = { "TERMINAL", clrs.green },
        ["v"] = { "VISUAL", clrs.flamingo },
        ["V"] = { "V-LINE", clrs.flamingo },
        ["�"] = { "V-BLOCK", clrs.flamingo },
        ["R"] = { "REPLACE", clrs.maroon },
        ["Rv"] = { "V-REPLACE", clrs.maroon },
        ["s"] = { "SELECT", clrs.maroon },
        ["S"] = { "S-LINE", clrs.maroon },
        ["�"] = { "S-BLOCK", clrs.maroon },
        ["c"] = { "COMMAND", clrs.peach },
        ["cv"] = { "COMMAND", clrs.peach },
        ["ce"] = { "COMMAND", clrs.peach },
        ["r"] = { "PROMPT", clrs.teal },
        ["rm"] = { "MORE", clrs.teal },
        ["r?"] = { "CONFIRM", clrs.mauve },
        ["!"] = { "SHELL", clrs.green },
    }
})

Note: Currently feline doesn't officially support custom themes. In order for :colorscheme catppuccin-<flavour> to work you could add this autocmd as a workaround:

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("ColorScheme", {
    pattern = "*",
    callback = function()
        package.loaded["feline"] = nil
        package.loaded["catppuccin.groups.integrations.feline"] = nil
        require("feline").setup {
            components = require("catppuccin.groups.integrations.feline").get(),
        }
    end,
})

fidget.nvim

Set fidget module to true

fidget = true

Then set window.blend to 0:

require("fidget").setup {
    window = {
        blend = 0,
    },
    -- ... the rest of your fidget config
}

indent-blankline.nvim

Setting enabled to true enables this integration. colored_indent_levels enables char highlights per indent level. Follow the instructions here to set the latter up.

indent_blankline = {
    enabled = true,
    colored_indent_levels = false,
},

lightline.vim

Use this to set it up (Note: catppuccin is the only valid colorscheme name. It will pick the one set in your config):

let g:lightline = {'colorscheme': 'catppuccin'}

lspsaga.nvim

For custom Lsp Kind Icon and Color

require("lspsaga").setup {
    ui = {
        kind = require("catppuccin.groups.integrations.lsp_saga").custom_kind(),
    },
}

lualine.nvim

Use this to set it up (Note: catppuccin is the only valid theme name. It will pick the one set in your config):

require('lualine').setup {
    options = {
        theme = "catppuccin"
        -- ... the rest of your lualine config
    }
}

nvim-dap & nvim-dap-ui

Setting enabled to true:

integration = {
    dap = {
        enabled = true,
        enable_ui = true, -- enable nvim-dap-ui
    }
}

-- You NEED to override nvim-dap's default highlight groups, AFTER requiring nvim-dap

nvim-lspconfig

Setting enabled to true enables this integration. In the inners tables you can set the style for the diagnostics, both virtual_text (what you see on the side) and underlines (what points directly at the thing (e.g. an error)).

native_lsp = {
    enabled = true,
    virtual_text = {
        errors = { "italic" },
        hints = { "italic" },
        warnings = { "italic" },
        information = { "italic" },
    },
    underlines = {
        errors = { "underline" },
        hints = { "underline" },
        warnings = { "underline" },
        information = { "underline" },
    },
},

nvim-navic

Setting enabled to true:

navic = {
    enabled = false,
    custom_bg = "NONE",
},

-- You NEED to enable highlight in nvim-navic setting or it won't work
require("nvim-navic").setup {
    highlight = true
}

vim-airline

Use this to set it up (Note: catppuccin is the only valid colorscheme name. It will pick the one set in your config):

let g:airline_theme = 'catppuccin'

vim-clap

Use this to set it up:

let g:clap_theme = 'catppuccin'

Compile

Note: As of 7/10/2022, catppuccin should be able to automatically recompile when the setup table changed.

Catppuccin is a highly customizable and configurable colorscheme. This does however come at the cost of complexity and execution time.

Catppuccin can pre compute the results of your configuration and store the results in a compiled lua file. We use these precached values to set it's highlights.

Config

By default catppuccin writes the compiled results into the system's cache directory. You can change the cache dir using:

require("catppuccin").setup({ -- Note: On windows we replace `/` with `\` by default
    compile_path = vim.fn.stdpath "cache" .. "/catppuccin"
})

Compile commands

:CatppuccinCompile " Create/update the compile file

require('catppuccin').compile() -- Catppuccin also provide a function to work with the catppuccin compiler.

Hooks

Use them to execute code at certain events. These are the ones available:

Autocmd	Description
`ColorSchemePre`	Before loading a colorscheme
`ColorScheme`	After loading a colorscheme

They can be used like so:

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("ColorSchemePre", {
    pattern = "*",
    callback = function()
        print "I ran before loading Catppuccin!"
    end
})

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("ColorScheme", {
    pattern = "*",
    callback = function()
        local colors = require("catppuccin.palettes").get_palette()
        -- do something with colors
    end
})

FAQ

Switch Catppuccin flavour on the fly

:Catppuccin mocha/macchiato/frappe/latte

Note: the command has autocompletion enabled, so you can just press tab to cycle through the flavours

Load other custom highlights later

require("catppuccin.lib.highlighter").syntax()

For example:

local colors = require("catppuccin.palettes").get_palette() -- fetch colors from palette
require("catppuccin.lib.highlighter").syntax({
    Comment = { fg = colors.surface0 }
})

Note: Unlike the :highlight command which can update a highlight group, this function completely replaces the definition. (:h nvim_set_hl)

Wrong treesitter highlights

Please disable additional_vim_regex_highlighting

require("nvim-treesitter.configs").setup {
    highlight = {
        enable = true,
        additional_vim_regex_highlighting = false
    },
}
