vim.opt.background = "dark" -- default to dark or light style
vim.cmd.colorscheme("monokai-nightasty")

💡 Toggle function

The Dark/light styles could be toggled by calling the provided function:

:MonokaiToggleLight

In Lua:

require("monokai-nightasty").toggle()

Lualine

require("lualine").setup({
    options = { theme = "monokai-nightasty" },
})

⚙️ Advanced configuration

⚠️ Set the configuration BEFORE calling colorscheme monokai-nightasty.

Full defaults:

Monokai Nightasty comes with these defaults:

{
    dark_style_background = "default", -- default, dark, transparent, #color
    light_style_background = "default", -- default, dark, transparent, #color
    terminal_colors = true, -- Set the colors used when opening a `:terminal`
    color_headers = false, -- Enable header colors for each header level (h1, h2, etc.)
    hl_styles = {
        -- Style to be applied to different syntax groups. See `:help nvim_set_hl`
        comments = { italic = true },
        keywords = { italic = false },
        functions = {},
        variables = {},
        -- Background styles for sidebars (panels) and floating windows:
        floats = "default", -- default, dark, transparent
        sidebars = "default", -- default, dark, transparent
    },
    sidebars = { "qf", "help" }, -- Set a darker background on sidebar-like windows. For example: `["qf", "vista_kind", "terminal", "packer"]`

    hide_inactive_statusline = false, -- Hide inactive statuslines and replace them with a thin border instead. Should work with the standard **StatusLine** and **LuaLine**.
    dim_inactive = false, -- dims inactive windows
    lualine_bold = true, -- Lualine headers will be bold or regular.
    lualine_style = "default", -- "dark", "light" or "default" (Follows dark/light style)
    markdown_header_marks = false, -- Add headers marks highlights (the `#` character) to Treesitter highlight query

    --- You can override specific color groups to use other groups or a hex color
    --- function will be called with the theme ColorScheme table
    on_colors = function(colors) end,

    --- You can override specific highlights to use other groups or a hex color
    --- function will be called with the theme Highlights and ColorScheme tables
    on_highlights = function(highlights, colors) end,
}

Full configuration example (for Lazy):

return {
    "polirritmico/monokai-nightasty.nvim",
    lazy = false,
    priority = 1000,
    keys = {
        { "<leader>tt", "<cmd>MonokaiToggleLight<cr>", desc = "Monokai-Nightasty: Toggle dark/light theme." },

    opts = {
        dark_style_background = "transparent", -- default, dark, transparent, #color
        light_style_background = "default", -- default, dark, transparent, #color
        color_headers = true, -- Enable header colors for each header level (h1, h2, etc.)
        lualine_bold = true, -- Lualine a and z sections font width
        lualine_style = "default", -- "dark", "light" or "default" (Follows dark/light style)

        hl_styles = {
            keywords = { italic = true },
            comments = { italic = true },
        },

        --- You can override specific color/highlights. Theme color values
        --- in `extras/palettes`. Also could be any hex RGB color you like.
        on_colors = function(colors)
            -- Custom color only for light theme
            local current_is_light = vim.o.background == "light"
            colors.comment = current_is_light and "#2d7e79" or colors.grey
            -- Custom color only for dark theme
            colors.border = not current_is_light and colors.magenta or colors.border
        end,
        on_highlights = function(highlights, colors)
            -- You could add styles like bold, underline, italic
            highlights.TelescopeSelection = { bold = true }
            highlights.TelescopeBorder = { fg = colors.grey }
            highlights["@lsp.type.property.lua"] = { fg = colors.fg }
        end,
    },
    config = function(_, opts)
        -- Highlight line at the cursor position
        vim.opt.cursorline = true

        -- Default to dark theme
        vim.o.background = "dark"  -- dark | light

        require("monokai-nightasty").load(opts)
    end,

}

🔍 Colors and Highlights

How the plugin setup the highlights and colors under the hood:

1. colors are loaded from the base palette. The colors of the light style are set in colors.light_palette. If vim.o.background == "light" is detected, then the default palette is overridden with the light palette values.

2. Then, colors is extended and adjusted following the configuration settings.

3. After that, config.on_colors(colors) is called, overriding any matching color.

4. The highlight groups are set using the generated colors.

5. Finally, config.on_highlights(highlights, colors) can be used to override highlight groups.

To get the name of a highlight group or to find the used color, here are some alternatives:

1. Use :Inspect to get info of the highlight group at the current position.
2. Check the generated palettes in the extras.
3. For the theme with the color names instead of the colors code, you could check directly the theme.lua or colors.lua files inside the lua/monokai-nightasty/ directory.

You could set colors for light or dark themes using boolean logic:

on_colors = function(colors)
    local is_light = vim.o.background == "light"
    colors.comment = is_light and "#2d7e79" or colors.grey
    colors.border = not is_light and colors.magenta or colors.border
end,

🧩 Extras

Currently this extra files are generated:

• Monokai Nightasty Palettes (palettes)
• Kitty (kitty)
• Tmux (tmux)
• Zathura (zathura)

The Monokai Nightasty Palette is a file with the used colors and highlights.

To use the generated config files with the corresponding external tool, check the extras folder, copy, link or reference the file in each setting. Refer to the respective program documentation.

Markdown files

Nvim Tressiter no longer provide highlight captures for the headers # marks. This plugin will provide them for as long as they work, or until nvim-treesitter provides any way to highlight them.

To enable this feature, set the markdown_header_marks option to true (defaults to false).

Disabled	Enabled

Tmux

Just source the theme file:

source-file 'path/to/monokai-nightasty_dark.tmux'

Fix undercurls in Tmux

If the undercurls or colors are not being properly displayed within Tmux, add the following to your config file:

# Undercurl
set -as terminal-features ",xterm-256color:RGB" # or: set -g default-terminal "${TERM}"
set -as terminal-overrides ',*:Smulx=\E[4::%p1%dm'  # undercurl support
set -as terminal-overrides ',*:Setulc=\E[58::2::%p1%{65536}%/%d::%p1%{256}%/%{255}%&%d::%p1%{255}%&%d%;m'  # underscore colours - needs tmux-3.0

🚀 Using with other plugins

You could import the color palette to use with other plugins:

local colors = require("monokai-nightasty.colors").setup()

some_plugin_config.title = colors.blue_light
example_plugin_config = {
    foo = colors.bg_dark,
    bar = colors.blue_light,
}

Some color utility functions are available for your use:

local colors = require("monokai-nightasty.colors").setup()
local util = require("monokai-nightasty.util")

some_plugin_config.example = util.lighten(colors.bg, 0.5)
some_plugin_config.another = util.darken(colors.bg, 0.3)
