neosolarized.nvim

A truecolor, solarized dark colorscheme using tjdevries/colorbuddy.vim for neovim.

Why?

I've used a bunch of solarized themes. The best I have found is NeoSolarized. Despite it being fantastic, like most themes, I wanted to tweak it here and there and really wanted a lua solution for this in the style of the latest and greatest neovim plugins. TJ's colorbuddy plugin makes customizing this theme a pleasant experience. All the solarized colors and groups defined by this plugin are returned back to you in the setup call for reuse.

Limitations

dark only
termguicolors only
neovim only

Installation

Make sure you have colorbuddy installed.

After installed colorbuddy and neosolarized.nvim with your favorite package manager, from your init.vim:

lua << EOF
  require('neosolarized').setup({
    comment_italics = true,
    background_set = false,
  })
EOF

Example above is with the default settings.

By default, this theme assumes you a solarized background set for your terminal or are using transparency. If you do want the background set to the solarized colors as in the screenshot, change background_set option in the your setup function to true, i.e.,

lua << EOF
  require('neosolarized').setup({
    comment_italics = true,
    background_set = false,
  })
EOF

neosolarized aims to be simple to customize.

The following is how I setup neosolarized. Ihis changes the color of the WarningMsg (currently used by some code actions) to a less visible color by linking the group to a predefined group.

lua << EOF
  n = require('neosolarized').setup({
    comment_italics = true,
    background_set = true,
  })
  -- for some reason some code actions get highlighted with WarningMsg and it's too much for me
  n.Group.link('WarningMsg', n.groups.Comment)
EOF

You could also just set the color or style, i.e.,:

  n.Group.new('TODO', n.colors.blue, n.colors.none, n.styles.underlined + n.styles.bold)

The Group above is from colorbuddy. The solarized colors are defined in n.colors and returned so you do not need to define them again. The groups defined by neosolarized are return in n.groups as we saw two examples ago.
