flavors

this theme is available in optimized lua, development lua, and classic vim compatible formats based on the branch used.

• main - optimized lua version
• vim - classic vim version
• dev - development version

tl;dr

for neovim use main branch

for classic vim use the vim branch

installation

using lazy

{
  "xero/evangelion.nvim",
  lazy = false,
  priority = 1000,
  init = function()
    vim.cmd.colorscheme("evangelion")
  end,
}

using lazy (with all options)

{
  "xero/evangelion.nvim",
  lazy = false,
  priority = 1000,
  opts = {
    overrides = {
      keyword = { fg = "#00ff00", bg = "#222222", undercurl = true },
      ["@boolean"] = { link = "Special" },
    },
  },
  init = function()
    vim.cmd.colorscheme("evangelion")
  end,
}

using packer

use {
  "xero/evangelion.nvim",
  config = function() require("evangelion").setup{} end,
  run = ":colorscheme evangelion"
}

using plug

Plug("xero/evangelion.nvim", { branch = "vim" })
colorscheme evangelion

options

the setup function takes a table argument with the following options:

name	type	default	description
transparent	boolean	false	sets key background highlights to "none", allowing for terminal backgrounds to be visible.
overrides	table|boolean	false	values in this table will override (or add new) highlight groups. items that start with an @ must be wrapped in bracketed quotes (e.g. ["@variable.keyword"])

usage

set the evangelion color scheme with the built-in command :colorscheme evangelion

customization

this theme is built with lush.nvim, so customizations are quite easy.

first, checkout the dev branch git fetch origin dev && git checkout dev, open the lua theme nvim lua/lush_theme/evangelion.lua and execute :Lushify. then adjust colors to suit your taste with real-time feedback. checkout the dev branch readme for details on building the optimized colorscheme. lots more details on using lush in their repo.

lualine

this repo comes w/ a lualine color theme. but if you wanna make it a bit cooler, here's an example:

{
  "nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim",
  event = "VeryLazy",
  opts = {
    options = {
      -- this is all you need
      theme = "evangelion",

      -- everything below
      -- is extra style
      -- can't help myself :P
      component_separators = { left = "░", right = "░" },
      section_separators = { left = "▓▒░", right = "░▒▓" },
    },
    sections = {
      lualine_b = {
        "branch", {
          "diagnostics",
          sources = { "nvim_diagnostic" },
          symbols = { error = " ", warn = " ", info = " " },
          diagnostics_color = {
            error = { fg = "#151515" },
            warn =  { fg = "#151515" },
            info =  { fg = "#151515" },
          },
        },
      },
      lualine_x = {
        { "encoding", padding = { left = 1, right = 1 }, separator = { left = "░▒▓" } },
        { "fileformat" },
        { "filetype" },
      },
      lualine_y = { "searchcount", "progress" },
    },
  },
}
