A dark and light Neovim colorscheme inspired by Material Palenight and Tokyonight.

nitepal.nvim is a highly customizable colorscheme for Neovim written in Lua. It started as a personal port of the Material Palenight theme (popular in the JetBrains ecosystem) but has evolved to incorporate the structural logic and cleanliness of folke/tokyonight.nvim.

It comes in two flavors:

• 🌑 Nitepal: A deep, cool dark theme.
• ☀️ Litepal: A soft, clean light theme.

⚠️ Warning: This is an early release. Highlight groups and colors are subject to change as I tweak them for my daily workflow.

• Treesitter Support: Rich syntax highlighting for better code readability.
• Semantic Highlighting: Support for LSP semantic tokens.
• Lualine Integration: Custom theme for lualine.nvim included.
• Extras: Color configurations for WezTerm and Ghostty.
• Customizable: Easily toggle italics, transparency, and specific UI elements.

  "jascha030/nitepal.nvim",
  lazy = false,
  priority = 1000,
  config = function()
    require("nitepal").setup({
      -- your configuration comes here
      -- or leave it empty to use the default settings
    })
    vim.cmd.colorscheme("nitepal")
  end,
}

use { 
    'jascha030/nitepal.nvim',
    config = function() 
        vim.cmd('colorscheme nitepal') 
    end 
}

Plug 'jascha030/nitepal.nvim'

" After loading plugins:
colorscheme nitepal

You can configure the theme by calling the setup function. Here are the defaults:

require('nitepal').setup({
    -- 'dark' | 'light' | false. 
    -- When false, it respects vim.o.background (recommended for toggling).
    style = false, 

    transparent = {
        background = false, -- Disable editor background (use terminal bg)
        sidebars = false,   -- Transparent sidebar windows (e.g. NvimTree)
        floats = false,     -- Transparent floating windows
        popups = false,     -- Transparent popup windows
    },

    -- Enable contrast for sidebars and floating windows
    contrast = true,

    -- Enable italics for comments and keywords
    italics = true,

    colors = {
        -- Override specific color codes defined in nitepal.palette
        overrides = {}, 
        -- Add new custom colors
        custom = {}, 
    },
})

A lualine theme is built-in. To use it, simply set the theme in your lualine config:

require('lualine').setup({
    options = {
        theme = 'nitepal', -- or 'litepal'
    }
})

Configuration files for external terminal emulators are located in the extras/ directory.

• folke/tokyonight.nvim: The codebase structure and logic heavily inspired this project. It is the gold standard for Lua colorschemes.
• Material Theme UI: The original visual inspiration for the color palette, specifically the Palenight variant.
