โšก๏ธ Requirements

0.8.0

๐Ÿ“ฆ Installation

Install the theme with your preferred package manager, such as folke/lazy.nvim:

{
  "folke/tokyonight.nvim",
  lazy = false,
  priority = 1000,
  opts = {},
}

๐Ÿš€ Usage

vim.cmd[[colorscheme tokyonight]]
colorscheme tokyonight

" There are also colorschemes for the different styles. colorscheme tokyonight-night colorscheme tokyonight-storm colorscheme tokyonight-day colorscheme tokyonight-moon

Some plugins need extra configuration to work with TokyoNight.

Click here for more details

Barbecue

-- Lua
require('barbecue').setup {
  -- ... your barbecue config
  theme = 'tokyonight',
  -- ... your barbecue config
}

Lualine

-- Lua
require('lualine').setup {
  options = {
    -- ... your lualine config
    theme = 'tokyonight'
    -- ... your lualine config
  }
}

Lightline

" Vim Script
let g:lightline = {'colorscheme': 'tokyonight'}

โš™๏ธ Configuration

[!IMPORTANT]
Set the configuration BEFORE loading the color scheme with colorscheme tokyonight.

The theme offers four styles: storm, moon, night, and day.

The day style is used when { style = "day" } is passed to setup(options) or when vim.o.background = "light".

TokyoNight uses the default options, unless setup is explicitly called.

Default Options

---@class tokyonight.Config
---@field on_colors fun(colors: ColorScheme)
---@field on_highlights fun(highlights: tokyonight.Highlights, colors: ColorScheme)
M.defaults = {
  style = "moon", -- The theme comes in three styles, storm, a darker variant night and day
  light_style = "day", -- The theme is used when the background is set to light
  transparent = false, -- Enable this to disable setting the background color
  terminal_colors = true, -- Configure the colors used when opening a :terminal in Neovim
  styles = {
    -- Style to be applied to different syntax groups
    -- Value is any valid attr-list value for :help nvimsethl
    comments = { italic = true },
    keywords = { italic = true },
    functions = {},
    variables = {},
    -- Background styles. Can be "dark", "transparent" or "normal"
    sidebars = "dark", -- style for sidebars, see below
    floats = "dark", -- style for floating windows
  },
  day_brightness = 0.3, -- Adjusts the brightness of the colors of the Day style. Number between 0 and 1, from dull to vibrant colors
  dim_inactive = false, -- dims inactive windows
  lualine_bold = false, -- When true, section headers in the lualine theme will be bold

--- You can override specific color groups to use other groups or a hex color --- function will be called with a ColorScheme table ---@param colors ColorScheme on_colors = function(colors) end,

--- You can override specific highlights to use other groups or a hex color --- function will be called with a Highlights and ColorScheme table ---@param highlights tokyonight.Highlights ---@param colors ColorScheme on_highlights = function(highlights, colors) end,

cache = true, -- When set to true, the theme will be cached for better performance

---@type table<string, boolean|{enabled:boolean}> plugins = { -- enable all plugins when not using lazy.nvim -- set to false to manually enable/disable plugins all = package.loaded.lazy == nil, -- uses your plugin manager to automatically enable needed plugins -- currently only lazy.nvim is supported auto = true, -- add any plugins here that you want to enable -- for all possible plugins, see: -- * https://github.com/folke/tokyonight.nvim/tree/main/lua/tokyonight/groups -- telescope = true, }, }

๐Ÿช“ Overriding Colors & Highlight Groups

How the highlight groups are calculated:

  • colors are determined based on your configuration, with the ability to
override them using config.on_colors(colors).
  • These colors are utilized to generate the highlight groups.
  • config.on_highlights(highlights, colors) can be used to override highlight
groups.

For default values of colors and highlights, please consult the storm, moon, night, and day themes.

Settings & Changing Colors

require("tokyonight").setup({
  -- use the night style
  style = "night",
  -- disable italic for functions
  styles = {
    functions = {}
  },
  -- Change the "hint" color to the "orange" color, and make the "error" color bright red
  on_colors = function(colors)
    colors.hint = colors.orange
    colors.error = "#ff0000"
  end
})

Borderless Telescope

require("tokyonight").setup({
  on_highlights = function(hl, c)
    local prompt = "#2d3149"
    hl.TelescopeNormal = {
      bg = c.bg_dark,
      fg = c.fg_dark,
    }
    hl.TelescopeBorder = {
      bg = c.bg_dark,
      fg = c.bg_dark,
    }
    hl.TelescopePromptNormal = {
      bg = prompt,
    }
    hl.TelescopePromptBorder = {
      bg = prompt,
      fg = prompt,
    }
    hl.TelescopePromptTitle = {
      bg = prompt,
      fg = prompt,
    }
    hl.TelescopePreviewTitle = {
      bg = c.bg_dark,
      fg = c.bg_dark,
    }
    hl.TelescopeResultsTitle = {
      bg = c.bg_dark,
      fg = c.bg_dark,
    }
  end,
})

Fix undercurls in Tmux

To have undercurls show up and in color, add the following to your Tmux configuration file:

# Undercurl
set -g default-terminal "${TERM}"
set -as terminal-overrides ',*:Smulx=\E4::%p1%dm'  # undercurl support
set -as terminal-overrides ',*:Setulc=\E[58::2::::%p1%{65536}%/%d::%p1%{256}%/%{255}%&%d::%p1%{255}%&%d%;m'  # underscore colours - needs tmux-3.0

๐Ÿญ Extras

Extra color configs for [Kitty, Alacritty, Fish, WezTerm, iTerm and foot can be found in extras. To use them, refer to their respective documentation.

image

You can easily use the color palette for other plugins inside your Neovim configuration:

local colors = require("tokyonight.colors").setup() -- pass in any of the config options as explained above
local util = require("tokyonight.util")

aplugin.background = colors.bg_dark aplugin.my_error = util.lighten(colors.red1, 0.3) -- number between 0 and 1. 0 results in white, 1 results in red1
