# Zenbones

Zenbones is a light vim/neovim
[colorscheme](https://neovim.io/doc/user/syntax.html#:colorscheme) designed to
highlight code using contrasts and font variations. Colors are tasked only for
other roles such as diagnostics, diffs, search matches.

## Requirements

Primarily built for neovim but it works pretty well with vim. However here are
some requirements to take full advantage of the colorscheme:

-   24-bit RGB colors (neovim or vim compiled with +termguicolors) i.e.
    `set termguicolors`
-   Font with bold and italic
-   Terminal or GUI with bold and italic support

## Installation

Example installation using packer:

```lua
use "mcchrish/zenbones.nvim"

-- Optionally install Lush. Useful if you want to extend the theme
-- e.g. create a statusline plugin theme using zenbones colors
use "rktjmp/lush.nvim"
-- See Advanced Usage section for more details
```

## Usage

Just apply the colorscheme as usual:

```vim
colorscheme zenbones
```

If you want to make use of the lua version:

```vim
" Requires `neovim` and `rktjmp/lush.nvim` installed
colorscheme zenbones-lush
```

It works pretty much the same as the first one but pretty handy when extending
or customizing the colors to your likings.

## Configuration

Configuration is only available for `zenbones-lush`.

#### g:zenbones_solid_vert_split

Set to `v:true` to make vertical split more visible with a dimmer background
highlight.

#### g:zenbones_dim_noncurrent_window

Set to `v:true` to make non-current window background dimmer than _Normal_.

#### g:zenbones_italic_comments

Set to `v:false` to make comments not italicize.

## Advanced Usage

Zenbones is pretty extensible thanks to Lush. You can easily retrieve the colors
in lua:

```lua
local theme = require "zenbones"
local palette = require "zenbones.palette"

print(theme.StatusLine.bg.hex)
print(palette.sand.darken(20).hex)
```

See also
[Lush's documentation](https://github.com/rktjmp/lush.nvim#advanced-usage) for
more options.

## Inspirations

Zenbones is heavily inspired by
[Verdandi](https://github.com/be5invis/vsc-theme-verdandi) and
[vim-yin-yang](https://github.com/pgdouyon/vim-yin-yang). The name came from a
book called
[Zen Flesh, Zen Bones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_Flesh,_Zen_Bones).

There are more similar
[colorschemes with few colors from this collection](https://github.com/mcchrish/vim-no-color-collections).
