This theme was inspired from my incessant desire to feel like I'm in space when I stare at a computer. "Spaceduck" takes its name from my love of duck dodgers as a kid.

If it looks ugly it's because I don't know what I'm doing pls help. If it's the sexiest thing you've ever seen, well then uhm.. you're welcome 😎

NOTE: This repo hosts the Vim/Neovim spaceduck theme, to install other ports look for the other ports below.

Current Language Support

Languages:

Note: if something looks off please submit an issue with a screenshot

• C, C++, fortran, haskell, html, java, javascript, markdown, php, python, ruby, sql, laTex, typescript

Plugins:

• Lightline, Airline, Vista, BarBar, Lualine

If using Vim/Neovim I recommend installing the vim-polyglot plugin for improved syntax highlighting:

Plug 'sheerun/vim-polyglot'

This repo hosts the Vim/Neovim color scheme.

Install the plugin with whatever plugin manager you use:

Plug 'pineapplegiant/spaceduck', { 'branch': 'main' }

And add this to your vimrc/init.vim configuration file:

    if exists('+termguicolors')
      let &t_8f = "\<Esc>[38;2;%lu;%lu;%lum"
      let &t_8b = "\<Esc>[48;2;%lu;%lu;%lum"
      set termguicolors
    endif

   colorscheme spaceduck

Or manually add the color theme to your 'runtimepath' for the file.

:h colors

• Airline

  let g:airline_theme = 'spaceduck'

• Lightline

    let g:lightline = {
          \ 'colorscheme': 'spaceduck',
          \ }

Don't be afraid of the vim documentation either for more information, like for manual installs! :h colorscheme

• Lualine

You only really need 'theme': 'spaceduck', but this is what I have in my vimrc:

  let g:lualine = {
      \'options' : {
      \  'theme' : 'spaceduck',
      \  'section_separators' : ['', ''],
      \  'component_separators' : ['', ''],
      \  'icons_enabled' : v:true,
      \},
      \'sections' : {
      \  'lualine_a' : [ ['mode', {'upper': v:true,},], ],
      \  'lualine_b' : [ ['branch', {'icon': '',}, ], ],
      \  'lualine_c' : [ ['filename', {'file_status': v:true,},], ],
      \  'lualine_x' : [ 'encoding', 'fileformat', 'filetype' ],
      \  'lualine_y' : [ 'progress' ],
      \  'lualine_z' : [ 'location'  ],
      \},
      \'inactive_sections' : {
      \  'lualine_a' : [  ],
      \  'lualine_b' : [  ],
      \  'lualine_c' : [ 'filename' ],
      \  'lualine_x' : [ 'location' ],
      \  'lualine_y' : [  ],
      \  'lualine_z' : [  ],
      \},
      \'extensions' : [ 'fzf' ],
      \}

  lua require("lualine").setup()

Terminal

Terminal install can be found at this repo: https://github.com/pineapplegiant/spaceduck-terminal

VSCode

Vscode theme can be found at this repo: https://github.com/tathran/spaceduck-vscode

Emacs

Emacs theme can be found at this repo: https://github.com/tathran/spaceduck-emacs

Slack

• Go to User Menu > Preferences > Sidebar Theme
• In the bottom of the window, look for a "customize your theme and share it with others" link
• Copy and paste the values below:
  • #0f111b,#7A5CCC,#7A5CCC,#ffffff,#16172D,#ecf0c1,#5CCC96,#00A3CC,#0f111b,#ecf0c1

Tmux

Checkout some tmux config inspiration here at the terminal repo. Or if you're in a rush you can use this basic one:

  # Basic color support setting
  set-option -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

  # Default bar color
  set-option -g status-style bg='#1b1c36',fg='#ecf0c1'

  # Active Pane
  set -g pane-active-border-style "fg=#5ccc96"

  # Inactive Pane
  set -g pane-border-style "fg=#686f9a"

  # Active window
  set-option -g window-status-current-style bg='#686f9a',fg='#ffffff'

  # Message
  set-option -g message-style bg='#686f9a',fg='#ecf0c1'
  set-option -g message-command-style bg='#686f9a',fg='#ecf0c1'

  # When Commands are run
  set -g message-style "fg=#0f111b,bg=#686f9a"

True color

Make sure you are using a terminal emulator that supports truecolor.

Read more about truecolor support here.

Colors don't look right

If you are running vim within tmux, you may run into some truecolor issues.

To fix, add this to you tmux.conf:

    set -g terminal-overrides ',xterm-256color:Tc'
    set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color"
    set -as terminal-overrides ',xterm*:sitm=\E[3m'

And in your .bash_profile or .zshrc:

  export TERM="xterm-256color"

• Iceberg - Gave me the blueprint for developing a lovely colorscheme.
• Hallski's spacedust theme - first theme to inspire me with space waaaay back when.
• Rigel - Showed me the ways of using Estilo to manage colors & that sexy themes can exist.
• Looking for other colorschemes? Check out vim colors or colorswat.ch!

If you'd like to contribute please reach out! I don't know what I'm doing. If you port it to whatever you're using, send me a link so I can link it here!

Vim Estilo

I currently use estilo to manage colors for Vim/Neovim, please install the dependencies to compile the colors specified in the YAML into the color scheme.

To find the current syntax element under the cursor, I use this mapping which maps Ctrl+a to find the id under the cursor:

" Show syntax color highlighting groups for word under cursor
    nmap <c-a> :call <SID>SynStack()<CR>
    function! <SID>SynStack()
      if !exists("*synstack")
        return
      endif
      echo map(synstack(line('.'), col('.')), 'synIDattr(v:val, "name")')
    endfunction

This will show you the syntax ID to where we can then modify the color of that word.

Testing colors look good

• To test that colors look good, you can run: :source $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/hitest.vim this will open a buffer of all color groups defined!
• Check current defined colors in buffer :highlight or :hi for short.
• Looking for more syntax elements? Check out $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/ for all of vim's language support.

TODO

• Screenshots gallery for colorscheme.
• Finalize proper coloring of syntax keywords.
• Port it to Alacritty & Kitty
• Add TMUX color snippet.
• Make a pretty website landing page.
• Ensure support various of popular plugins: easyMotion, ALE, COC, etc
• Fix ugly VimDiff?
• Better 256 color for older terminals.
• Add Bash prompt color codes.
• Test if Airline looks nice and works.
• Add manual installation for vim/neovim.
• Port it to VSCODE for the homies?
