usage

after installing the plugin through your package manager, you can use nyxvamp in several ways:

quick start

-- simple setup with default settings (veil variant)
vim.cmd.colorscheme('nyxvamp')

advanced setup

-- configure with custom options
require('nyxvamp').setup({
  variant = 'veil', -- 'radiance' (light), 'veil' (dark), 'obsidian' (very dark)
  transparent = false, -- enable transparency
  italics = {
    comments = true,
    keywords = true,
    functions = true,
    strings = true,
    variables = true,
  },
  overrides = function()
    return {
      -- example: make line numbers more subtle
      LineNr = { fg = '#5A5570' },
      -- example: custom color for your favorite highlight group
      ['@keyword'] = { fg = '#F5C2E7', bold = true },
    }
  end,
})

-- apply the colorscheme after setup
require('nyxvamp').colorscheme()

variant-specific colorschemes

you can also use variant-specific colorschemes directly without setup:

vim.cmd.colorscheme('nyxvamp-veil')     -- dark variant (default)
vim.cmd.colorscheme('nyxvamp-obsidian') -- very dark variant  
vim.cmd.colorscheme('nyxvamp-radiance') -- light variant

switching variants dynamically

-- switch to light theme during the day
require('nyxvamp').setup({ variant = 'radiance' })
require('nyxvamp').colorscheme()

-- switch to dark theme at night
require('nyxvamp').setup({ variant = 'obsidian' })
require('nyxvamp').colorscheme()

configuration

the following are the default configuration options:

require('nyxvamp').setup({
  variant = 'veil', -- String: 'radiance' (light), 'veil' (dark), 'obsidian' (very dark)
  transparent = false, -- Boolean: Sets the background to transparent
