About

Catppuccino.nvim is a NeoVim plugin that provides multiple colorschemes based on the Catppuccino color palette but varying their properties. Apart from the eye-candy colorschemes, Catppuccino.nvim also provides integrations with multiple plugins and tools you are probably already using (e.g. Treesitter, Native LSP, ...).

• NeoVim 0.5+

Adding the plugin

You can use your favorite plugin manager for this. Here are some examples with the most popular ones:

Vim-plug

Plug 'Pocco81/Catppuccino.nvim'

Packer.nvim

use "Pocco81/Catppuccino.nvim"

Vundle

Plugin 'Pocco81/Catppuccino.nvim'

NeoBundle

NeoBundleFetch 'Pocco81/Catppuccino.nvim'

Setup

There are already some sane defaults that you may like, however you can change them to match your taste. These are the defaults:

colorscheme = "dark_catppuccino",
transparency = false,
styles = {
	comments = "italic",
	functions = "italic",
	keywords = "italic",
	strings = "NONE",
	variables = "NONE",
},
integrations = {
	treesitter = true,
	native_lsp = {
		enabled = true,
		styles = {
			errors = "italic",
			hints = "italic",
			warnings = "italic",
			information = "italic"
		}
	},
	lsp_trouble = false,
	lsp_saga = false,
	gitgutter = false,
	gitsigns = false,
	telescope = false,
	nvimtree = {
		enabled = false,
		show_root = false,
	},
	which_key = false,
	indent_blankline = false,
	dashboard = false,
	neogit = false,
	vim_sneak = false,
	fern = false,
	barbar = false,
	bufferline = false,
	markdown = false,
}

The way you setup the settings on your configuration varies on whether you are using vimL for this or Lua.

For init.lua

local catppuccino = require("catppuccino")

-- configure it
catppuccino.setup(
    {
		colorscheme = "dark_catppuccino",
		transparency = false,
		styles = {
			comments = "italic",
			functions = "italic",
			keywords = "italic",
			strings = "NONE",
			variables = "NONE",
		},
		integrations = {
			treesitter = true,
			native_lsp = {
				enabled = true,
				styles = {
					errors = "italic",
					hints = "italic",
					warnings = "italic",
					information = "italic"
				}
			},
			lsp_trouble = false,
			lsp_saga = false,
			gitgutter = false,
			gitsigns = false,
			telescope = false,
			nvimtree = {
				enabled = false,
				show_root = false,
			},
			which_key = false,
			indent_blankline = false,
			dashboard = false,
			neogit = false,
			vim_sneak = false,
			fern = false,
			barbar = false,
			bufferline = false,
			markdown = false,
		}
	}
)

For init.vim

lua << EOF
local catppuccino = require("catppuccino")

After setting things up, you can load Catppuccino like so:

For Lua:

catppuccino.load(<colorscheme_name>)

If <colorscheme_name> is not passed then it'll pick the one in the config.

For VimScript:

colorscheme catppuccino

Passing catppuccino to the colorscheme command will pick the colorscheme in the config. Optionally you may pass the one you want to use by its code name (e.g. colorscheme neon_latte).

For instructions on how to configure the plugin, check out the configuration section.

Updating

This depends on your plugin manager. If, for example, you are using Packer.nvim, you can update it with this command:

:PackerUpdate

🤖 Usage

Commands

The provides commands that follows the camel casing naming convention and have the CP prefix so that it's easy to remember that they are part of Catppuccino.nvim:

• :CPClear clear all highlight groups.
• :colorscheme <colorscheme_name> load a colorscheme, not necessarily a Catppuccino one. (Note: this is a built-in NVim command).

🐬 Configuration

Although settings already have self-explanatory names, here is where you can find info about each one of them and their classifications!

General

This settings are unrelated to any group and are independent.

• colorscheme: (String) code name of the color-scheme to be used. All of them can be found in the section below.
• transparency: (Boolean) if true, disables setting the background color.

Styles

Handles the style of general hi groups (see :h highlight-args):

• comments: (String) changed the style of the comments.
• functions: (String) changed the style of the functions.
• keywords: (String) changed the style of the keywords.
• strings: (String) changed the style of the strings.
• variables: (String) changed the style of the variables.

Integrations

These integrations allow Catppuccino to set the theme of various plugins/stuff. To enable an integration you just need to set it to true, however, there are some special integrations...

If you'd like to know which highlight groups are being affected by Catppuccino, checkout this directory: lua/catppuccino/core/integrations/.

Special Integrations

• Native Nvim LSP: setting enabled to true enables this integration. In the inner table (styles) you can set that the style for virtual diagnostics.
• Lualine: use this to set it up (Note: catppuccino is the only valid theme name. It will pick the one set in your config):

require('lualine').setup {
  options = {
    theme = "catppuccino"
	-- ... the rest of your lualine config
  }
}

• Lightline: use this to set it up (Note: catppuccino is the only valid colorscheme name. It will pick the one set in your config):

let g:lightline = {'colorscheme': 'catppuccino'}

• Kitty: Copy and paste the file corresponding to theme you want to use from this directory on your Kitty config.
• Alacritty: Copy and paste the file corresponding to theme you want to use from this directory on your Alacritty config.
• NvimTree: setting enabled to true enables this integration:

integration = {
  nvimtree = {
    enabled = true,
    show_root = true, -- makes the root folder not transparent
  }
}

List of colorschemes

Colorschemes	Code Names
Dark Catppuccino	dark_catppuccino
Neon Latte	neon_latte
Light Melya	light_melya

Overriding colors

To override the colors for the Catppuccino theme you are using you'll pass the parameters to the setup() function you already used for configuring the plugin. This is the structure:

local catppuccino = require("catppuccino")
catppuccino.setup({<your_settings>}, {your_color_overrides})

Example: setting the colorscheme to Neon Latte and changing the color red to #ffffff (white).

local catppuccino = require("catppuccino")
catppuccino.setup({
  colorscheme = "neon_latte",
}, {
  red = "#ffffff",
})

All editable fields are the same as the ones mentioned in any of the colorschemes found at: lua/catppuccino/color_schemes. You could also use one as a template, if you will.

Hooks

Use them to execute code at certain events [described by their names]. These are the ones available:

Function	Description
before_loading()	Before loading a colorscheme
after_loading()	After loading a colorscheme

They can be used like so:

local catppuccino = require("catppuccino")

catppuccino.before_loading = function ()
	print("I ran before setting a colorscheme!")
end

🙋 FAQ

• Q: "How can I view the doc from NeoVim?" A: Use :help Catppuccino.nvim

• Q: "Why are the colorschemes named like that? Do they follow any convention(s)?" A: A colorscheme's name is constructed by two words: the first one is a word that represents the tonalities in the colors used and the second one is the name of a coffee drink from this list.
