Modus Color Schemes

This is a color scheme developed by Protesilaos Stavrou for emacs. This theme conforms to the highest color contrast between background and foreground values (WCAG AAA). I have attempted to port it to neovim using lua.

NOTICE

• The master branch of the theme no longer depends on colorbuddy.
• The theme also support 256 colors now(In the master branch).

Getting Started

If you are using the stable neovim (version 0.4.4 at the time) install tjdevries/colorbuddy.nvim and use the stable branch of this theme.

Also make sure to enable termguicolors.

Installation

Vim Plug

Plug 'ishan9299/modus-theme-vim'  -- if using nightly neovim
Plug 'ishan9299/modus-theme-vim', {'branch': 'stable'} -- only if you are not using nightly

Minpac

call minpac#add('ishan9299/modus-theme-vim') -- if using nightly neovim
call minpac#add('ishan9299/modus-theme-vim', {'branch': 'stable'}) -- only if you are not using nightly

Vim Packages

In the terminal execute this command. Read :h packages

cd ~/.config/nvim
mkdir -p pack/packages/{opt,start}
git submodule add --name modus-theme-vim https://github.com/ishan9299/modus-theme-vim pack/packages/start/modus-theme-vim
# also remember to check out to stable if using neovim 0.4.4

Packer.nvim

  use 'ishan9299/modus-theme-vim'

To set the current theme.

In lua

vim.cmd('colorscheme modus-vivendi') -- Dark
-- or
vim.cmd('colorscheme modus-operandi') -- Light

In vimscript

colorscheme modus-vivendi -- Dark
" or
colorscheme modus-operandi -- Light

Configuration

The theme has multiple configuration options.

• vim.g.modus_moody_enable (you need galaxline for this to work)
• vim.g.modus_yellow_comments
• vim.g.modus_green_strings
• vim.g.modus_faint_syntax
• vim.g.modus_cursorline_intense
• vim.g.modus_termtrans_enable (use this if you want a transperent background)
• vim.g.modus_dim_inactive_window (default 1, set to 0 to disable)

To do the same in viml.

• let g:modus_moody_enable
• let g:modus_yellow_comments
• let g:modus_green_strings
• let g:modus_faint_syntax
• let g:modus_cursorline_intense
• let g:modus_termtrans_enable
• let g:modus_dim_inactive_window (default 1, set to 0 to disable)

All these options are disabled by default. To enable them set the value 1.

Extras
