Installation

lazy.nvim

{
  dir = "~/path/to/Codely-vim-theme",
  name = "Codely",
  priority = 1000,
  config = function()
    vim.cmd.colorscheme("Codely")
  end,
}

Or from GitHub once published:

  end,
}

packer.nvim

use {
  "wall3n/Codely-vim-theme",
  config = function()
    vim.cmd("colorscheme Codely")
  end,
}

Manual

git clone https://github.com/wall3n/Codely-vim-theme \
  ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/codely/start/Codely-vim-theme

Then add to your config:

colorscheme Codely

Configuration

Minimum init.lua:

vim.opt.termguicolors = true
vim.cmd.colorscheme("Codely")

Or using the Lua module:

require("codely").setup()

Lualine Integration

local c = {
  bg      = "#202124",
  fg      = "#EBDBB2",
  bg2     = "#323336",
  bg3     = "#444547",
  fg2     = "#d8c9a4",
  keyword = "#fb5245",
  str     = "#B8BB26",
  const   = "#D3869B",
  warning = "#F0A732",
  builtin = "#FAC149",
  type    = "#8EC07C",
}

require("lualine").setup({
  options = {
    theme = {
      normal   = { a = { bg = c.keyword, fg = c.bg,  gui = "bold" }, b = { bg = c.bg3, fg = c.fg  }, c = { bg = c.bg2, fg = c.fg2 } },
      insert   = { a = { bg = c.str,     fg = c.bg,  gui = "bold" }, b = { bg = c.bg3, fg = c.fg  }, c = { bg = c.bg2, fg = c.fg2 } },
      visual   = { a = { bg = c.const,   fg = c.bg,  gui = "bold" }, b = { bg = c.bg3, fg = c.fg  }, c = { bg = c.bg2, fg = c.fg2 } },
      replace  = { a = { bg = c.warning, fg = c.bg,  gui = "bold" }, b = { bg = c.bg3, fg = c.fg  }, c = { bg = c.bg2, fg = c.fg2 } },
      command  = { a = { bg = c.builtin, fg = c.bg,  gui = "bold" }, b = { bg = c.bg3, fg = c.fg  }, c = { bg = c.bg2, fg = c.fg2 } },
      inactive = { a = { bg = c.bg2,     fg = c.fg2             },   b = { bg = c.bg2, fg = c.fg2 }, c = { bg = c.bg2, fg = c.fg2 } },
    },
  },
})

Roadmap

• Additional language-specific groups: TypeScript, Rust, C/C++, Kotlin, Elixir
• Native Lua rewrite (lua/codely/) for faster load and Neovim-only distributions
• Automatic lualine theme export via require("codely").lualine_theme()
• Light variant based on codely_light.xml

Inspiration & Reference

• Codely JetBrains theme — original design, color tokens exported under reference/
• Codely VSCode theme — VSCode variant
