Neovim Matching Your System Theme 🌚🌞

#neovim #lua

In this post I'll show you how to get your theme in Neovim to match your system theme.

First you want to install dark-notify, here is how you'd do that with Homebrew.

brew install cormacrelf/tap/dark-notify

Then you can setup the Neovim lazy companion plugin which will watch for changes via the dark-notify CLI.

Replace <lightTheme> and <darkTheme> with your preferred colorschemes (like "catppuccin-latte" and "catppuccin-mocha").

---@module "lazy"
---@type LazySpec
return {
  {
    "cormacrelf/dark-notify",
    config = function()
      require("dark_notify").run({
        schemes = {
          light = { colorscheme = "<lightTheme>" },
          dark = { colorscheme = "<darkTheme>" },
      })
    end,
  },
}
