Cybersynth is built around three convictions.\n\n**First, contrast is non-negotiable.** Every accent in the dark palette clears WCAG AAA (7:1) against the background. Every accent in the light palette clears AA (4.5:1). The neons are real. The neons are also legible at 4am on a 13\" laptop.\n\n**Second, themes should style ideas, not plugins.** Modern Neovim plugins link their highlights to semantic hub groups (`DiagnosticError`, `@variable`, `Added`, `FloatBorder`, and ~40 more) using `default = true`. Cybersynth carefully colors every one of those hub groups. The result: a plugin you install tomorrow — one we've literally never seen — looks correct the first time you load it. No integration table. No `enable = true` switches. No PRs every week to \"please add support for X.\"\n\n**Third, both modes deserve the same love.** The light variant isn't a desaturated afterthought. It uses the same hue families as the dark variant — magenta becomes mulberry, cyan becomes deep teal, violet becomes eggplant — recalibrated for paper. The violet hour, just slightly later in the day.\n\n---\n\n## Features\n\n- 🔌 **Plugin-agnostic by design** — styles hub groups, not plugin names; works on plugins we've never seen\n- ♿ **WCAG AAA on dark, AA on light** — every accent verified against its background\n- 🌗 **First-class light mode** — same hue families, recalibrated lightness\n- ⚡ **Zero required config** — `colorscheme cybersynth` and done\n- 🎛 **Override anything** — palette, single highlights, per-variant, via `overrides`\n- 🖥 **Terminal colors** — 16 ANSI colors set for both variants\n\n---\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cb\u003e📸 Gallery — dark, light, transparent (click to expand)\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/summary\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n| Variant | Preview |\n|---------|---------|\n| **Dark** — the canonical sunset | \u003cimg src=\"https://placehold.co/600x340/262335/ffffff?text=Dark+Mode\u0026font=source-sans-pro\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"dark\"\u003e |\n| **Light** — the violet hour | \u003cimg src=\"https://placehold.co/600x340/f5f0ff/1a1a2e?text=Light+Mode\u0026font=source-sans-pro\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"light\"\u003e |\n| **Transparent** — float on your wallpaper | \u003cimg src=\"https://placehold.co/600x340/111111/ffffff?text=Transparent+Mode\u0026font=source-sans-pro\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"transparent\"\u003e |\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n---\n\n## Installation\n\n### lazy.nvim\n\n```lua\n{\n  \"Web-Dev-Codi/cybersynth.nvim\",\n  lazy = false,\n  priority = 1000,\n  config = function()\n    require(\"cybersynth\").setup({})\n    vim.cmd.colorscheme(\"cybersynth\")\n  end,\n}\n```\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther package managers\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n**packer.nvim:**\n\n```lua\nuse {\n  \"Web-Dev-Codi/cybersynth.nvim\",\n  config = function()\n    require(\"cybersynth\").setup({})\n    vim.cmd.colorscheme(\"cybersynth\")\n  end,\n}\n```\n\n**vim-plug:**\n\n```vim\nPlug 'Web-Dev-Codi/cybersynth.nvim'\nlua require('cybersynth').setup({})\ncolorscheme cybersynth\n```\n\n**dein.vim:**\n\n```vim\ncall dein#add('Web-Dev-Codi/cybersynth.nvim')\n```\n\n**rocks.nvim:**\n\n```lua\nrequire('rocks').install('cybersynth.nvim')\n```\n\n**pathogen:**\n\n```sh\ncd ~/.vim/bundle \u0026\u0026 git clone https://github.com/Web-Dev-Codi/cybersynth.nvim\n```\n\n**Manual (runtimepath):**\n\n```vim\nset runtimepath^=/path/to/cybersynth.nvim\ncolorscheme cybersynth\n```\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n---\n\n## Usage\n\n```vim\n\" Vimscript\ncolorscheme cybersynth\n```\n\n```lua\n-- Lua\nvim.cmd.colorscheme(\"cybersynth\")\n```\n\nNo need to call `setup()` unless you want to change something.\n\n---\n\n## Configuration\n\nFull default config with inline docs:\n\n```lua\nrequire(\"cybersynth\").setup({\n  variant = \"auto\",     -- \"dark\" | \"light\" | \"auto\" (follows vim.o.background)\n  transparent = false,  -- make Normal/NormalFloat/etc backgrounds NONE\n\n  italic = {\n    comments = true,    -- comments in italic\n    keywords = false,\n    functions = false,\n    variables = false,\n    strings = false,\n  },\n\n  bold = {\n    functions = false,  -- function names in bold\n  },\n\n  -- Per-group overrides applied after all highlights\n  overrides = {},\n})\n```\n\n---\n\n## Plugin Support\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cb\u003e🔌 Plugin showcase\u003c/b\u003e — works out of the box, no config required\u003c/summary\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nCybersynth styles hub groups, not plugin names.

Config table size | ~10 lines | ~80 toggles |\n| User override always wins | ✅ via `overrides` | ⚠️ depends on integration |\n| Light + dark mode parity | ✅ identical group surface | ⚠️ often partial |\n\n---\n\n## FAQ\n\n**Neovim version?** \u003e= 0.10 required.\n\n**Truecolor terminal?** Yes. Set `set termguicolors` (the theme does this automatically).\n\n**tmux italics/undercurls?** Add to your tmux.conf:\n\n```tmux\nset -g default-terminal \"tmux-256color\"\nset -g terminal-overrides ',xterm-256color:smcur,rmcur'\n```\n\n**Plugin still looks wrong?** The plugin may be hardcoding colors instead of linking to hub groups.
