Switch Colorscheme

[MunifTanjim]

hi @MunifTanjim, how can I retrieve RGB color from a syntax highlighting group? - because I am using multiple colorschemes, and switch it inside nvim, so I want statusline to be compatible with the colorscheme.

It is mostly documented here: https://github.com/MunifTanjim/nougat.nvim/tree/main/lua/nougat/color

First of all, use nougat.color module for picking color for different items:

local color = require('nougat.color').get()

color.red
color.accent.red
color.green
color.accent.green
color.yellow
color.accent.yellow
color.blue
color.accent.blue
color.magenta
color.accent.magenta
color.cyan
color.accent.cyan

color.bg
color.accent.bg
color.bg0
color.bg1
color.bg2
color.bg3
color.bg4

color.fg
color.accent.fg
color.fg0
color.fg1
color.fg2
color.fg3
color.fg4

If the colorscheme you're using has nougat.color.<colorscheme> module, where <colorscheme> is the name (e.g. gruvbox), nougat.nvim will read that. Or if the colorscheme defines g:terminal_color_* variables, nougat.nvim will automatically extract color from those.

If your colorscheme does neither of those, you can create the nougat.color.<colorscheme> module yourself with the following structure:

local mod = {}

function mod.get()
  ---@class nougat.color.name_of_colorscheme: nougat.color
  local color = { accent = {} }
  -- set the values here
  return color
end

return mod

With that setup, nougat.nvim will always use the colors from the currently active colorscheme. If you change the colorscheme (using :colorscheme command), colors for your statusbar/tabline/winbar will automatically be updated.

@linrongbin16 hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
