Configuration

There is no need to call setup if you are ok with the defaults.

-- Default options:
require('kanagawa').setup({
    undercurl = true,           -- enable undercurls
    commentStyle = { italic = true },
    functionStyle = {},
    keywordStyle = { italic = true},
    statementStyle = { bold = true },
    typeStyle = {},
    variablebuiltinStyle = { italic = true},
    specialReturn = true,       -- special highlight for the return keyword
    specialException = true,    -- special highlight for exception handling keywords
    transparent = false,        -- do not set background color
    dimInactive = false,        -- dim inactive window `:h hl-NormalNC`
    globalStatus = false,       -- adjust window separators highlight for laststatus=3
    colors = {},
    overrides = {},
})

-- setup must be called before loading
vim.cmd("colorscheme kanagawa")

Customize highlight groups and colors

You can change the colors of existing hl-groups as well as creating new ones. Supported keywords are the same for :h nvim_set_hl {val} parameter.

You can define your own colors or use the theme colors (see example below). All the palette colors can be found here.

Example:

local default_colors = require("kanagawa.colors").setup()

-- this will affect all the hl-groups where the redefined colors are used
local my_colors = {
    -- use the palette color name...
    sumiInk1 = "black",
    fujiWhite = "#FFFFFF",
    -- ...or the theme name
    bg = "#272727",
    -- you can also define new colors if you want
    -- this will be accessible from require("kanagawa.colors").setup()
    -- AFTER calling require("kanagawa").setup(config)
    new_color = "teal"
}

local overrides = {
    -- create a new hl-group using default palette colors and/or new ones
    MyHlGroup1 = { fg = default_colors.waveRed, bg = "#AAAAAA", underline = true, bold = true, guisp="blue" },

    -- override existing hl-groups, the new keywords are merged with existing ones
    VertSplit  = { fg = default_colors.bg_dark, bg = "NONE" },
    TSError    = { link = "Error" },
    TSKeywordOperator = { bold = true},
    StatusLine = { fg = my_colors.new_color }
}

require'kanagawa'.setup({ overrides = overrides, colors = my_colors })
vim.cmd("colorscheme kanagawa")

Example for Global Statusline. Note: it works really nice with dimInactive = true option.

vim.opt.laststatus = 3
vim.opt.fillchars:append({
    horiz = '━',
    horizup = '┻',
    horizdown = '┳',
    vert = '┃',
    vertleft = '┨',
    vertright = '┣',
    verthoriz = '╋',
})
require'kanagawa'.setup({ globalStatus = true, ... })
vim.cmd("colorscheme kanagawa")
