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

Also included are modus-vivendi and modus-operandi for wezterm terminal.

Screenshots

The right side has all the options enabled. The statusbar on the left is expressline. The font is Victor Mono.
