Modus Color Schemes

This is a color scheme developed by Protesilaos Stavrou for emacs. I have attempted to port it to neovim using lua.

There are 2 color schemes

modus-operandi ( the light theme )

modus-vivendi ( the dark theme )

NOTE

The master branch of the theme no longer depends on colorbuddy.

Getting Started

If you are using the stable neovim install tjdevries/colorbuddy.nvim and use the stable branch of this theme. Also make sure to enable termguicolors (the theme also includes 256 colors though)

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

Packer.nvim

  use 'ishan9299/modus-theme-vim'

To set the current theme.

vim.cmd('colorscheme modus-vivendi')

Configuration

The theme has a faint syntax options which dims the colors if you find the default distracting.

vim.g.modus_faint_syntax = 1

It also provides a by default configured statusline using galaxyline plugin. To use it

vim.g.modus_moody_enable = 1

or

let g:modus_moody_enable = 1

There are additional options also

vim.g.modus_yellow_comments = 1 -- also enable the faint syntax
vim.g.modus_green_strings = 1

All these options are disabled by default.
