1.0.3

soviet.nvim 1.0.3

This patch improves the readability of Gitsigns inline blame annotations.

What’s changed

• Added a dedicated GitSignsCurrentLineBlame highlight.
• Used the palette-aware muted color in both soviet-dark and soviet-light.
• Added italic styling to keep blame metadata distinct from source code.

v1.0.2

Visual Identity Refresh

This release strengthens the theme’s Soviet-inspired visual language across both light and dark variants.

Highlights

• Introduced a clearer typographic hierarchy:
  • bold keywords and types;
  • structured HTML and Markdown heading levels;
  • stronger titles, completion matches, and interface labels.
• Refined lualine with distinctive mode colors:
  • printing red for Normal;
  • enamel blue for Insert;
  • burgundy for Visual;
  • brass for Command;
  • turquoise for Terminal.
• Restyled Snacks, Alpha, Dashboard.nvim, and Mini Starter dashboards with red headers, brass shortcuts, enamel-blue icons, and restrained olive details.
• Replaced powdery cold colors with denser industrial blue, turquoise, steel, and green inks.
• Reserved printing red for rare primary accents while using darker red for deletions and bright red for errors.
• Added a subtle military-cartography layer:
  • olive grid lines and gutters;
  • khaki active contours;
  • steel coordinate labels;
  • coordinated styling for folds, indent guides, inlay hints, Aerial, MiniMap, Neotest, and Snacks.
• Enabled bold lualine mode sections by default.

Together, these changes make the theme more structured, distinctive, and closely connected to Soviet print, enamel signage, and cartographic design.
