Catppuccin for NeoVim
About
This port of Catppuccin is special because it was the first one and the one that originated the project itself. Given this, it's important to acknowledge that it all didn't come to be what it is now out of nowhere. So, if you are interested in knowing more about the initial stages of the theme, you can find it under the old-catppuccino
branch.
🎁 Features
- Handy CLI.
- Extensible for many use cases.
- Compile user's configuration
- Integrations with a bunch of plugins:
Usage
You can use your favorite plugin manager for this. Here are some examples with the most popular ones:
Vim-plug
Plug 'catppuccin/nvim', {'as': 'catppuccin'}
Packer.nvim
use({
"catppuccin/nvim",
as = "catppuccin"
})
Vundle
Plugin 'catppuccin/nvim', {'name': 'catppuccin'}
Setup
There are already some sane defaults that you may like, however you can change them to match your taste. These are the defaults:
dim_inactive = {
enabled = false
shade = "dark",
percentage = 0.15,
},
transparent_background = false,
term_colors = false,
compile = {
enabled = false,
path = vim.fn.stdpath "cache" .. "/catppuccin",
suffix = "_compiled"
},

comments = { "italic" },
conditionals = { "italic" },
loops = {},
functions = {},
keywords = {},
strings = {},
variables = {},
numbers = {},
booleans = {},
properties = {},
types = {},
operators = {},
},
integrations = {

The way you setup the settings on your configuration varies based on whether you are using vimL for this or Lua.
For init.lua
local catppuccin = require("catppuccin")
-- configure it
catppuccin.setup(<settings>)
For init.vim
lua << EOF
local catppuccin = require("catppuccin")
-- configure it
catppuccin.setup(<settings>)
EOF
After setting things up, you can load catppuccin like so:
" Vim Script
let g:catppuccin_flavour = "frappe" " latte, frappe, macchiato, mocha
colorscheme catppuccin
-- Lua
vim.g.catppuccin_flavour = "frappe" -- latte, frappe, macchiato, mocha
vim.cmd[[colorscheme catppuccin]]
Remember that if you want to switch your Catppuccin flavour "on the fly" you may use the :Catppuccin <flavour>
command.
Note: the command has autocompletion enabled, so you can just press tab to cycle through the flavours
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.
transparent_background
: (Boolean) if true, disables setting the background color.term_colors
: (Boolean) if true, sets terminal colors (e.g.g:terminal_color_0
).
Dim inactive
This setting manages the ability to dim the inactive splits/windows/buffers displayed.
enabled
: (Boolean) if true, dims the background color of inactive window or buffer or split.shade
: (string) sets the shade to apply to the inactive split or window or buffer.percentage
: (number 0 < x < 1) percentage of the shade to apply to the inactive window, split or buffer.
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 catppuccin 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 catppuccin, checkout this directory: lua/catppuccin/core/integrations/
.
Special Integrations
- Feline.nvim: First make sure that the kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons plugin is installed. Then update your Feline config to use the Catppuccin components:
require("feline").setup({
components = require('catppuccin.core.integrations.feline'),
})
- Indent-blankline.nvim: setting
enabled
totrue
enables this integration.colored_indent_levels
enables char highlights per indent level. Follow the instructions here to set the latter up. - Lightline: use this to set it up (Note:
catppuccin
is the only valid colorscheme name. It will pick the one set in your config):
let g:lightline = {'colorscheme': 'catppuccin'}
- Lualine: use this to set it up (Note:
catppuccin
is the only valid theme name. It will pick the one set in your config):
require('lualine').setup {
options = {
theme = "catppuccin"
-- ... the rest of your lualine config
}
}
- Native Nvim LSP: setting
enabled
totrue
enables this integration. In the inners tables you can set the style for the diagnostics, bothvirtual_text
(what you see on the side) andunderlines
(what points directly at the thing (e.g. an error)). - NvimTree: setting
enabled
totrue
enables this integration:
integration = {
nvimtree = {
enabled = true,
show_root = true, -- makes the root folder not transparent
transparent_panel = false, -- make the panel transparent
}
}
- Neo-tree: setting
enabled
totrue
enables this integration:
integration = {
neotree = {
enabled = true,
show_root = true, -- makes the root folder not transparent
transparent_panel = false, -- make the panel transparent
}
}
Compile
Catppuccin is a highly customizable and configurable colorscheme. This does however come at the cost of complexity and execution time.
Catppuccin can pre compute the results of your configuration and store the results in a compiled lua file. We use these precached values to set it's highlights.
Enable
Setting enabled
to true
enables this feature:
compile = {
enabled = true,
path = vim.fn.stdpath "cache" .. "/catppuccin",
suffix = "_compiled"
},
By default catppuccin writes the compiled results into the system's cache directory.
Catppuccin provides these commands to work with the catppuccin compiler.
:CatppuccinCompile # Create/update the compile file
:CatppuccinClean # Delete compiled file
Post-install/update hooks
It's recommended to add :CatppuccinCompile
to post-install/update hooks. For example:
Packer.nvim
-- It's recommended to add `:CatppuccinCompile` to post-install/update hooks
use {
"catppuccin/nvim",
as = "catppuccin",
run = "CatppuccinCompile",
}
Vim-plug
Plug 'catppuccin/nvim', {'as': 'catppuccin', 'do': 'CatppuccinCompile'}
Auto compile
Packer.nvim
-- Create an autocmd `User PackerCompileDone` to update it every time packer is compiled
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", {
pattern = "PackerCompileDone",
callback = function()
vim.cmd "CatppuccinCompile"
end,
})
Vim-plug
# Auto compile on save if catppuccin config is in `init.vim`
autocmd BufWritePost init.vim :CatppuccinCompile
Acknowledge: nightfox.nvim#compile
Extra
Modules
colors
require("catppuccin.palettes").get_palette()
Returns a table where the key is the name of the color and the value is its hex value.
Overwriting highlight groups
Highlight groups can be overwritten in the setting like so:
custom_highlights = {
<hi_group> = { <fields> }
}
Here is an example:
local colors = require("catppuccin.palettes").get_palette() -- fetch colors from palette
custom_highlights = {
Comment = { fg = colors.flamingo }
TSConstBuiltin = { fg = colors.peach, style = {} },
TSConstant = { fg = colors.sky },
TSComment = { fg = colors.surface2, style = { "italic" } }
}
Overwriting colors
Colors can be overwritten using color_overrides
in the setting:
color_overrides = {
frappe = {
text = "#ffffff"
base = "#ff0000",
mantle = "#242424",
crust = "#474747",
}
},
Hooks
Use them to execute code at certain events. 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 catppuccin = require("catppuccin")
catppuccin.before_loading = function ()
print("I ran before loading Catppuccin!")
end
Autocmd
Instead of after_loading
hook, you can use autocmd event like this:
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", {
pattern = "CatppuccinLoaded",
callback = function()
local colors = require("catppuccin.api.colors").get_colors()
-- do something with colors
end
})
FAQ
Abnormal colors?
You need to enable truecolor
Toggle light/dark theme based on background value?
The following autocmd will change the flavour to latte when you :set background=light
and to mocha after :set background=dark
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("OptionSet", {
pattern = "background",
callback = function()
vim.cmd("Catppuccin " .. (vim.v.option_new == "light" and "latte" or "mocha"))
end,
})
For people who are hybrid between light and dark mode!
