# Kintsugi for Neovim
A Neovim colorscheme port of the beautiful [VS Code Kintsugi] theme by Ahmed Hatem.
This project keeps the slim, direct-highlight architecture of [papercolor-theme-slim]: no Lua module, no runtime color builder, and no abstraction inside the colorscheme files. The theme is written in Vimscript because `colors/*.vim` is Neovim's native colorscheme format and direct `:highlight` definitions are simple, fast, and easy to override.
## Variants
`kintsugi-dark` is the primary/default variant.
- `kintsugi-dark`
- `kintsugi-dark-flared`
- `kintsugi-light`
- `kintsugi-light-flared`
Preview SVGs are generated from [gallery/inputs/sample.rs](gallery/inputs/sample.rs) with `make gen-variants`.
| `kintsugi-dark` | `kintsugi-dark-flared` |
| --- | --- |
|  |  |
| `kintsugi-light` | `kintsugi-light-flared` |
| --- | --- |
|  |  |
## Installation
This theme is a native Neovim colorscheme: it only provides `colors/*.vim`
files and does not have a Lua `setup()` function.
### `vim.pack`
```lua
vim.pack.add({
"https://github.com/slavafyi/kintsugi.nvim",
})
vim.cmd.colorscheme("kintsugi-dark")
```
### `lazy.nvim`
```lua
{
"slavafyi/kintsugi.nvim",
lazy = false,
priority = 1000,
config = function()
vim.cmd.colorscheme("kintsugi-dark")
end,
}
```
Use any variant from the list above in place of `kintsugi-dark`.
## Configuration
```lua
vim.o.termguicolors = true
vim.cmd.colorscheme("kintsugi-dark")
-- Recommended on Neovim 0.11+.
vim.o.winborder = "rounded"
```
## Customization
Use normal Neovim highlight overrides. Define override autocommands before
loading the colorscheme when possible.
### Transparent background
```lua
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("ColorScheme", {
pattern = "kintsugi-*",
callback = function()
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "Normal", { bg = "NONE" })
end,
})
```
### Override a color
```lua
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("ColorScheme", {
pattern = "kintsugi-light",
callback = function()
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "Normal", { bg = "#f8f4ea" })
end,
})
```
### Third-party plugin support
```lua
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("ColorScheme", {
pattern = "kintsugi-*",
callback = function()
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "ExamplePluginHighlightGroup", { link = "CursorLine" })
end,
})
```
