Installation

Using vim.pack:

vim.pack.add({"https://github.com/casedami/neomodern.nvim"})
require("neomodern").setup({
-- optional configuration
})
require("neomodern").load()

Note, you only need to call setup if you are overriding any default opts. If you are only using it to set the theme, you could use the following instead:

vim.pack.add({"https://github.com/casedami/neomodern.nvim"})
require("neomodern").load("iceclimber")

Configuration

There are 5 themes included, each with a light and dark variant. The light theme is used when vim.o.background = "light".

Default options are given below:

require("neomodern").setup({
  -- 'default' default background
  -- 'alt' darker background
  -- 'transparent' background is not set
  bg = "default",

theme = "moon", -- 'moon' | 'iceclimber' | 'gyokuro' | 'hojicha' | 'roseprime'

gutter = { cursorline = false, -- highlight the cursorline in the gutter dark = false, -- highlight gutter darker than the Normal bg },

diagnostics = { darker = true, -- use darker colors for diagnostics undercurl = true, -- use undercurl for diagnostics background = true, -- use a background color for diagnostics },

-- override colors, see #Customization below overrides = { default = {}, hlgroups = {} } }) -- Call load after setup require("neomodern").load()

Customization

Neomodern supports user-defined color overrides. The user can either override the default colors or alter the highlights of a specific highlight group. When overriding highlight groups, use neomodern's colors by prefixing the color name with a dollar sign (e.g. $keyword). See :h highlight-args and :h neomodern-types for expected args, default color names, etc.

require("neomodern").setup {
  overrides = {
    default = {
      keyword = '#817faf', -- redefine neomodern's keyword color
    }
    hlgroups = {
      ["@keyword.return"] = { gui = 'italic' },
      ["@keyword"] = { guifg = "$keyword", gui = 'bold' },
      ["@function"] = { guibg = "#ffffff" },
      ["String"] = { link = "Todo" },
    }
  },
}

Recipes

Prefer Treesitter Highlights

If you would prefer to bias the highlights towards treesitter (rather than lsp-semantic highlights), use this somewhere in your config:

vim.highlight.priorities.semantic_tokens = 95

Keymap to Swap Between Light/Dark variants

Neomodern uses vim.opt.background to decide which variant to load, so to toggle between variants simply toggle vim.opt.background.

vim.keymap.set("n", "uc", function()
    if vim.opt.background == "light" then
        vim.opt.background = "dark"
    else
        vim.opt.background = "light"
    end
end, { desc = "Toggle between light/dark mode" })
