Darkman.nvim

Darkman.nvim is a neovim plugin written in Golang, designed to interface with the Freedesktop Dark-mode standard. It is named after and integrates with darkman, a daemon which implements this standard. However, the plugin should work on all compliant desktop environments (including Gnome and KDE).

Maintenance status

darkman.nvim is relatively stable, so updates do not come regularly. There is no need to assume that the repository is unmaintained if an update hasn't occurred for several months. This section will change if the maintenance status for darkman.nvim changes.

Requirements

To compile darkman.nvim a go compiler is required due to 4e554c4c/darkman.nvim#1. We are working on changing this, but it is currently impossible due to the architecture of common neovim package managers.

Installation

Using lazy.nvim

{
  '4e554c4c/darkman.nvim',
  event = 'VimEnter',
  build = 'go build -o bin/darkman.nvim',
  opts = {
    -- configuration here
  },
}

Configuration

setup takes a dictionary of the following values (and defaults)

{
  change_background = true,
  send_user_event = false,
  colorscheme = nil, -- can be { dark = "x", light = "y" }
}

If change_background is true, background will be automatically set to light or dark. Please note that you can add extra functionality by listening to the OptionSet background autocmd event.

If you would not like darkman.nvim to set background, you may set send_user_event=true. In which case the User DarkMode or User LightMode events will be triggered instead.

If the colorscheme option is set to a table with dark and light keys, the colorschemes given will be set automatically.
