🐬 Usage

Enable the colorscheme:

"Vim-Script:
colorscheme material

--Lua:
require('material').set()

To enable the material-nvim theme for Lualine, simply specify it in your lualine settings: ( make sure to set the theme to 'material-nvim', as 'material' already exists built in to lualine)

require('lualine').setup {
  options = {
    -- ... your lualine config
    theme = 'material-nvim'
    -- ... your lualine config
  }
}

  • darker
  • lighter
  • oceanic
  • palenight

Set the desired style using:

"Vim-Script:
let g:material_style = 'darker'

--Lua:

Option	Default	Description
material_style	"oceanic"	The theme comes in five styles, 'darker', 'lighter', 'palenight', 'oceanic' and 'deep ocean'

-- Example config in lua
vim.g.material_style = 'deep ocean'

⛵ Functions

• Toggle the style live without the need to exit NeoVim

Just call the function for style switching

"Vim-Script
:lua require('material.functions').toggle_style()
"This command toggles the style

The command can also be mapped to a key for fast style switching

"Vim-Script:
nnoremap <C-m> :lua require('material.functions').toggle_style()<CR>

--Lua:
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', '<C-m>', [[<Cmd>lua require('material.functions').toggle_style()<CR>]], { noremap = true, silent = true })

• Change the style to a desired one using the function change_style("desired style")

"Vim-Script:
:lua require('material.functions').change_style("palenight")
"This command changes the style to palenight

The command can also be mapped to a key for fast style switching

"Vim-Script:
nnoremap <C-9> :lua require('material.functions').change_style('lighter')<CR>
nnoremap <C-0> :lua require('material.functions').change_style('darker')<CR>

--Lua:
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', '<C-9>', [[<Cmd>lua require('material.functions').change_style('lighter')<CR>]], { noremap = true, silent = true })
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', '<C-0>', [[<Cmd>lua require('material.functions').change_style('darker')<CR>]], { noremap = true, silent = true })
