# Installation
## 1) Installing the Colorscheme
### Manually
- Download this repository and unzip its contents
- Copy or move the contents into your `.vim` directory
### [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug) (or similar plugin manager)
- Add `Plug 'josuegaleas/jay'` to your `.vimrc`
- Restart Vim and use `:PlugInstall` to install
### Vim's Built-In Package Manager (see `:help packages`)
Clone this repository into your `.vim/pack` directory with:
```bash
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/josuegaleas/jay.git ~/.vim/pack/josuegaleas/start/jay
```
### [pathogen.vim](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen)
Clone this repository into your `.vim/bundle` directory with:
```bash
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/josuegaleas/jay.git ~/.vim/bundle/jay/
```
## 2) Updating `.vimrc`
### Dark Mode
Add the following lines to your `.vimrc`:
```viml
syntax enable
set background=dark
colorscheme jay
```
### Light Mode
Add the following lines to your `.vimrc`:
```viml
syntax enable
set background=light
colorscheme jay
```
### Transparent Option
Add the following line anywhere **before** `colorscheme jay` to your `.vimrc`:
```viml
let jay_transparent = 1
```
### Matching Airline Theme
Airline *should* automatically set the matching theme. Optionally, you can enable powerline symbols with:
```viml
let g:airline_powerline_fonts = 1
```
### Matching Lightline Colorscheme
Add the following line to your `.vimrc`:
```viml
let g:lightline = {'colorscheme': 'jay'}
```
# Roadmap
- Add 16-color support to the Airline theme and the Lightline colorscheme
- Add explicit support for more plugins
- Maybe rewrite the colorscheme using [vim-colortemplate](https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-colortemplate)
- Add support for Neovim exclusive stuff
