A minimal purple-based soothing colorscheme (for neovim and much more!) inspired by daltonmenezes/aura-theme, but with different palettes and added variants for much more fun!

Features

• Multiple theme variants.

Installation

Using vim.pack

-- vim.pack (Neovim 0.12+)
vim.pack.add({
  { src = "https://github.com/theamallalgi/zitchdog" },
})

Using folke/lazy.nvim

{
  "theamallalgi/zitchdog",
  lazy = false,
  priority = 1000,
}

Using wbthomason/packer.nvim

use "theamallalgi/zitchdog"

Using junegunn/vim-plug

Plug "theamallalgi/zitchdog"

Usage

require("zitchdog") loads lua/zitchdog/init.lua, the module's entrypoint.
It exposes two functions:

• setup(opts) merges your table into the config defaults using vim.tbl_deep_extend("force", ...). It only updates config in memory, it does not touch the editor.
• load(opts) is what actually applies the colorscheme. If opts is passed, it calls setup(opts) internally first, then builds the palette for the configured variant and sets every highlight group.

If you're loading zitchdog via colorscheme zitchdog-<variant> instead of calling load() directly, call setup() with your config before that command runs. The colors/ files just call load() with a hardcoded variant and nothing else, so anything you want applied has to already be in config by then.

Set the Colorscheme in your init.lua file or a specific plugin file etc.

-- To load the default theme (grape)
require("zitchdog").load()
 
-- To load a specific theme
require("zitchdog").load({ variant = "pine" })

Further Configuration

-- Default configuration
require("zitchdog").setup({
  variant = "grape", -- "grape" | "pine": the default colorscheme variant
  transparent_bg = false, -- boolean: toggles a transparent background
  disable_cursorline = false, -- boolean: hides CursorLine highlight by matching it to bg
  italic_comments = false, -- boolean: toggles italic comments
  fg = nil, -- string?: override the base foreground (defaults to the variant's white)
  bg = nil, -- string?: override the base background (defaults to the variant's black; ignored when transparent_bg = true)
  colors = {}, -- table<string, string>: override any specific palette color, e.g. { red = "#ff0000", purple = "#a277ff" }
})
 
-- To change the theme, you can use the `variant` option:
require("zitchdog").setup({
  variant = "pine",
})
 
-- Or load the theme directly:
require("zitchdog").load({ variant = "pine" })
