A color-scheme that was heavily inspired by the JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA default theme, but was carefully refined to bring a more pleasant, aesthetic, and contrasting experience to our beloved Neovim.

• Treesitter support
• NvimTree support
• 256 colors
• Beautiful contrasting (IntelliJ like) colors

• termguicolors enabled for true color support
• (recommended) Neovim 0.5
• (recommended) Treesitter

With Packer

use { "briones-gabriel/darcula-solid.nvim", requires = "rktjmp/lush.nvim" }

With Plug

Plug 'briones-gabriel/darcula-solid.nvim'
Plug 'rktjmp/lush.nvim'

Or you can use your favorite plugin manager.

In your init.vim:

colorscheme darcula-solid
set termguicolors

Or in init.lua:

vim.cmd 'colorscheme darcula-solid'
vim.cmd 'set termguicolors'

And because the plugin is build with Lush, you can freely copy and edit the color-scheme to fit your needs.

1. Create a colors directory if it doesn't exist at ~/.config/nvim/colors.
2. Create a file for the modified theme: e.g ~/.config/nvim/colors/darcula-solid-custom.
3. Set your modifications:

vim.opt.background = 'dark'
vim.g.colors_name = 'darcula-solid-custom'

local lush = require('lush')
local darcula_solid = require('lush_theme.darcula-solid')
local spec = lush.extends({darcula_solid}).with(function()
  -- Your modifications go here...
  -- Pallete copied from https://github.com/briones-gabriel/darcula-solid.nvim/blob/main/lua/lush_theme/darcula-solid.lua
  local yellow  = lush.hsl(37, 100, 71)

  return {
    Type { fg = yellow },
    Function { fg = darcula_solid.Normal.fg },
  }
end)

lush(spec)

4. In your config file (e.g. ~/.config/nvim/init.lua) set the theme to your custom one as follows:

vim.cmd("colorscheme darcula-solid-custom")
