I like this project! about nvim HOT 2 CLOSED

Aww thanks, I really appreciate it :)

Did you grab a template or fork some other project to get started with this one?

• The base color palette? no, that's original. Like most programmers, I really loved Base16, One Dark, Atom Dark, Gruvbox, pastel colors in general and GitHub's dark theme, so they really shaped my view on how I like my colors ;)
• The colorscheme? I learned about syntax highlighting and stuff from norcalli/nvim-base16.nvim, which I forked and added what best worked for me. I used that "theme" (so to speak) for most of my time using neovim. It really taught me which highlight groups are the main.
• The integrations? Well I have this project in my dots called NvDope, which has the ability to overwrite groups to your like after all the plugins and important stuff has loaded, like a run level program. I implemented the same thing here.

But what really gave me a pin point to start from was folke/tokyonight.nvim. I didn't exactly "fork" it, but yeah, it helped a ton.

I'd like to make my own color scheme in the future :p thanks!

A few hours ago I added the ability to overwrite colors and highlight groups, for everything. Which means that you could quite literally create a new colors-cheme with a whole new syntax highlighting just using Catppuccino's overwriting capabilities.

Feel free to fork catppuccino 👍 I think the contributors and I have done a great job at it. The structure is fairly easy to understand too:

Note: the most important files are lua/catppuccino/core/mapper.lua and lua/catppuccino/utils/util.lua. There are three main tables that hold the highlight groups: the first one is the base (neovim only stuff), the integrations, and neovim properties (e.g. term gui colors, background, etc). The first file merges all those tables. The second file is the one that actually highlights the highlights.

What a generous answer! thanks bro, I actually thought of that, that I don't need to reinvent the wheel since this plugin already provides a lot of customization. I'll check on that, for the meantime I'm enjoying your colors.
