The best implementation of Sarah Drasner's Night Owl VSCode theme for Neovim with support for Tree-sitter and semantic tokens.
use("oxfist/night-owl.nvim")
require("lazy").setup({
"oxfist/night-owl.nvim",
lazy = false, -- make sure we load this during startup if it is your main colorscheme
priority = 1000, -- make sure to load this before all the other start plugins
config = function()
-- load the colorscheme here
vim.cmd.colorscheme("night-owl")
end,
})
Plug 'oxfist/night-owl.nvim'
Note
You can skip this step if you followed the lazy.nvim
setup, since that
already sets the colorscheme.
Add the following line to your Lua configuration files, e.g.
~/.config/nvim/init.lua
(your actual path might be different):
vim.cmd.colorscheme("night-owl")
To enable night-owl
for lualine.nvim
, simply set the theme like this in your
settings π:
-- This Lualine config should be somewhere in your config files
require('lualine').setup {
options = {
-- ... other configs
theme = 'night-owl'
-- ... other configs
}
}

This implementation of Night Owl solves several syntax highlight issues and discrepancies similar ports have when comparing to the original VSCode theme.
The following features allow making the programming experience as close to the original VSCode theme as possible:
- Extended highlight groups: through additional Treesitter queries. See
after/queries
for implementation details. - Different background color when Neovim is inactive: through autocommands.
See
after/plugin/autocmds.lua
for implementation details.
π Click to see comparison with haishanh/night-owl.vim
With Treesitter installed you can see the overall look and feel is significantly different:
- Different colors for several keywords like
let
,const
,async
,function
, etc. Same happens for class namesEditFishForm
andSale
. - Italics not applied anywhere except for comments.
- Italics incorrectly applied to JSDoc keywords
@param

Note
I've personally optimized the colorscheme styling and robustness for these languages extensively enough to confidently say they look acceptable to me. If you happen to build software with them, then I invite you to try out this theme! π
Coming Soon: Lua β , Vimscript (in progress), TSX, R, Rust, Python, Ruby, Bash, and many more!

- gitsigns.nvim
- Sarah Drasner first and foremost, for creating such a beautiful and artistic color scheme that has made, for me personally, so much more pleasurable the exhilirating act of building software.
