Support overriding colors using vim.g.catppuccin_override_colors

[3rd]

This PR proposes a simple way to override the palette colors by setting the global variable vim.g.catppucin_override_colors.

Usage:

  vim.g.catppuccin_flavour = "mocha"
  vim.g.catppuccin_override_colors = {
    base = "#ff0000"
  }
  vim.cmd [[colorscheme catppuccin]]

Hey, @sandangel
No problem, should it throw an error or print a message if a key in the user provided palette doesn't exist?
Should I add some documentation about it?

[sandangel]

sorry, I'm not the owner so not really can make decision. but from an engineering perspective:

should it throw an error or print a message if a key in the user provided palette doesn't exist

I think so. Basically we should give feedback when user configure something wrong. A warning message would be better in term of user experience.

Should I add some documentation about it?

Yes. To let user know about this feature and how to use it. So they won't open a new issue for this.

LGTM

hi @mainrs , could you please have a review on this PR? cc @VictorTennekes @andreasgrafen @pocco81 @ayamir @asheeeshh @ShyyLexi @WitherCubes

Hi! I am actually not familiar with nvim. I think one of the other contributors is better suited to review it.

[sandangel]

Oh sorry. @pocco81 @vinibispo could you help?

Oh sorry. @pocco81 @vinibispo could you help?

Sure

[vinibispo]

It works perfectly

[sandangel]

nice, can we merge the PR?

[unseen-ninja]

I've been staying out of this because I'm not maintaining this whatsoever. From a technical POV I think the changes are great, but I'd prefer to have Pocco have the last word in this, as this is his baby. :D

[pocco81]

Sorry for the delay! I'm doing a rewrite of the plugin :)

feat: added color_overrides to settings

the g:catppuccin_override_colors variable was removed in favour of a
setting in the user's Catppuccin conf. This commit also added the
ability to change individual colors per palette and also apply changes
to all of them.

[sandangel]

hi @pocco81 , in that case can you fix the README? I think it's still referencing the old proposal from this PR.
