system-theme.nvim

This plugin uses system D-Bus messages to automatically switch Neovim between light and dark modes.

Installation

Because this plugin depends on Luarocks packages, it's recommended to install using lazy.nvim (version 11.x or later):

{
    "cosmicboots/system-theme.nvim",
    config = {
        dark_theme = "sorbet",
        light_theme = "morning",
    },
}

Configuration

The configuration passed into the setup function follows this format:

{
    light_theme = "your-light-theme", -- Light theme to use
    dark_theme = "your-dark-theme", -- Dark theme to use
    hooks = {
        light = function()
            -- This is run after the light theme is applied
        end,
        dark = function()
            -- This is run after the dark theme is applied
        end,
    },
}

All settings are optional. If light_theme or dark_theme aren't set, the global vim variables g:light_theme and g:dark_theme will be used, respectively.

Usage

This plugin will try to stay out of your way.

If you need to terminate the thread processing system D-Bus messages, the :SysThemeDbusKill command is provided. This will prevent the plugin from listening for system theme changes until Neovim is restarted.
