Animation statusline, floating window statusline. Use lua + luv make some wind
Windline
Animation statusline. Use lua + luv make some ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅFeatures:
* custom statusline for every file type * built-in animation library * change colors with your colorscheme * fast and powerful customization * custommize display of global statusline
demo
Displaying two different animated status line (markdown and lua file types).
Intro
Windline supports having a different status line per file type.terminal,nvimtree,qf,help,spectre,lsptrouble,diffview,lspoutline.
It also supports displaying a different status line on inactive windows
We offer a built-in animations and color library for status line. I know it is not useful but why not :).
It is not loaded if you don't use animations.

Setup
You can create your own custom status line, using as a base/example the included status line setups is recommended for new users.
local windline = require('windline')
windline.setup({
statuslines = {
--- you need to define your status lines here
}
})
Included Status lines
You can also use any of this status lines and avoid setting up your own (skipping the example above) by just requiring it.bubble line
require('wlsample.bubble')
bubble line
require('wlsample.bubble2')
evil line
require('wlsample.evil_line')
airline
require('wlsample.airline')
-- the animated alternative. you can toggle animation by press <leader>u9
require('wlsample.airline_anim')
vscode
require('wlsample.vscode')
basic animation
require('wlsample.basic')
wind animation
require('wlsample.wind')
luffy
require('wlsample.airline_luffy')
[cava]
-- only support linux it need install cava
lua require("windline.components.cava").toggle()
Remember windline can display a different status line per file type, so you can have bubble line for markdown or latex file, and airline for your working file.
You need install gitsigns.nvim to get git information.

Status line
You need to define a default status line that will be used on all filetypes that do not define a custom one.
local default = {
filetypes={'default'},
active={
--- components...
},
inactive={
--- components...
}
}
local explorer = { filetypes = {'fern', 'NvimTree','netrw'}, active = { {' ๏ ', {'white', 'black'} }, }, --- show active components when the window is inactive always_active = true, --- It will display a last window statusline even that window should inactive showlaststatus = true }
components
A component is defined as{text ,{ fgcolor, bgcolor } }
local default = {
filetypes={'default'},
active={
--- components...
{'[',{'red', 'black'}},
{'%f',{'green','black'}},
{']',{'red','black'}},
-- empty color definition uses the previous component colors {"%=", ''} ,
-- hightlight groups can also be used {' ','StatusLine'},
{' %3l:%-2c ',{'white','black'}} }, }
A text function has a bufnr and winid parameter that can be used to get data from the buffer or window
A text function can return a group of child components
local lsp_comps = require('windline.components.lsp')
basic.lsp_diagnos = { name = 'diagnostic', hl_colors = { red_text = {'red', 'black'} }, text = function(bufnr, winid, width) if lspcomps.checklsp() then return {
{ '[ lsp: ', 'red_text' }, -- redtext define in hlcolors. It make easy cache value first -- because text function run multiple time on redraw
{ lspcomps.lspname() , 'IncSearch'}, -- it use a hightlight group IncSearch
-- but you can create a hightlight on child component too { lspcomps.lsperror({ format = ' ๏ %s' }), {'red','black'} },
{ lspcomps.lspwarning({ format = ' ๏ฑ %s' }), {'yellow',''} }, -- it have same background black with the previous component
{ lspcomps.lsphint({ format = ' ๏ %s' }), {'', 'blue'} }, -- it have same foreground yellow with the previous component
{ ' ] ' }, } end return '' end, }
**Don't do something complex on component. It run multiple times when statusline rendering. If you want to do that you need to use** cache component
Never use a Job or run system command inside component. You need to use it inside cache component
Windline doesn't have a component condition just return an empty string ''or nil to remove it.
It doesn't have seperator or padding so you can add it by create a child component.
Width setting
you can hide components by setting a minimum window widthlocal git_comps = require('windline.components.git')
-- short syntax local gitbranch = { gitcomps.git_branch(), {'white', 'black'}, 100}
-- syntax using table local git_branch = { text = gitcomps.gitbranch(), hl_colors = {'white','black'}, --- component not visible if window width is less than 100 width = 100, }
Colors
Windline use a terminal color. It generate from your colorscheme terminal. Every time you change colorschemes it will be generate a new colors to map with your colorscheme
Color name is use to define component and animation
lua
-- sample
local colors = {
black = "", -- terminalcolor0,
red = "", -- terminalcolor1,
green = "", -- terminalcolor2,
yellow = "", -- terminalcolor3,
blue = "", -- terminalcolor4,
magenta = "", -- terminalcolor5,
cyan = "", -- terminalcolor6,
white = "", -- terminalcolor7,
blacklight = "", -- terminalcolor_8,
redlight = "", -- terminalcolor_9,
greenlight = "", -- terminalcolor_10,
yellowlight = "", -- terminalcolor_11,
bluelight = "", -- terminalcolor_12,
magentalight = "", -- terminalcolor_13,
cyanlight = "", -- terminalcolor_14,
whitelight = "", -- terminalcolor_15,
NormalFg = "", -- hightlight Normal fg NormalBg = "", -- hightlight Normal bg ActiveFg = "", -- hightlight StatusLine fg ActiveBg = "", -- hightlight StatusLine bg InactiveFg = "", -- hightlight StatusLineNc fg InactiveBg = "", -- hightlight StatusLineNc bg } return colors
If you need to define a new color to use on animation you need to define it on the colors_name function.
local windline = require('windline')
windline.setup({ -- this function will run on ColorScheme autocmd colors_name = function(colors) --- add new colors colors.FilenameFg = colors.white_light colors.FilenameBg = colors.black
-- this color will not update if you change a colorscheme colors.gray = "#fefefe"
-- dynamically get color from colorscheme hightlight group local searchFg, searchBg = require('windline.themes').gethlcolor('Search') colors.SearchFg = searchFg or colors.white colors.SearchBg = searchBg or colors.yellow
return colors end,
})
you can create a theme for a colorscheme gruvbox
animations
animations with colors_name from colors defined abovelua
animation.animation({
data = {
{'red_light',efffects.rainbow()},
{'green_light',efffects.rainbow()},
{'cyan_light',efffects.blackwhite()},
{'FilenameBg',efffects.rainbow()},
{'FilenameFg',efffects.blackwhite()}
},
timeout = 10,
delay = 200,
interval = 100,
})
you can create multi animation but only list of data on animation is sync
effects
| Usage | KEY | |----------------------------|---------------------------------------| | rainbow() | a rainbow animation color | | blackwhite() | toggle between black and white | | listcolor({..listcolor}) | swap color from list | | flashyH([number 0-360]) | increase H on every step of animation | | flashyS(number 0.01 - 1) | increase S on every step of animation | | flashyL([number 0.01 - 1) | increase L on every step of animation |
-- you can write your own effect
local Hsl = require('wlanimation.hsl')
animation.animation({
data = {
{'red',efffects.wrap(function(color)
return HSL.new(color.H + 1, color.S, color.L)
end)},
},
timeout = 100,
delay = 200,
interval = 100,
})
Global statusline setting
windline.setup({
-- hide that filetype on global statusline
globalskipfiletypes = {
'NvimTree',
'lir',
}
})
If that filetype display on floating window (popup).It will always hiding.You can change that behavior create a custome statusline
local telescope = { filetypes = {'TelescopePrompt'}, active = { {' ๏ซ ', {'white', 'black'} }, }, --- for global statusline (laststatus = 3). --- by default it skip all floating window on global statusline but you can --- change it here globalshowfloat = false }
