})
require("inkline").load()vim.cmd([[colorscheme inkline]]) -- Uses default "original" stylecolorscheme inklinerequire("inkline").switch_style("retro")

require("inkline").setup({
style = "original", -- Style variant
dim_inactive_windows = true, -- Dim inactive windows
transparent = false, -- Transparent background
purple_comments = false, -- Use purple for comments
vibrant_strings = true, -- Use vibrant green for strings
cache = true, -- Enable caching for better performance
on_colors = function(colors) end, -- Customize colors
on_highlights = function(hl, c) end, -- Customize highlights
})inkline.nvim includes a high-performance caching system that stores pre-computed highlight groups:
- Enabled by default (
cache = true) - Cache location:
~/.cache/nvim/inkline-{style}.json - Auto-invalidation: Automatically detects config changes
- Significant speedup: Faster theme loading on subsequent startups
- Manual clearing:
require("inkline").clear_cache()
The cache is automatically invalidated when you change any configuration options, ensuring you always see your latest customizations.
You can customize colors and highlight groups using callback functions:
require("inkline").setup({
on_colors = function(colors)
colors.purple = "#ff00ff" -- Make purple more vibrant
return colors
end
})require("inkline").setup({
on_highlights = function(highlights, colors)
highlights.Comment = { fg = "#888888", italic = true }
highlights.String = { fg = "#00ff00" }
return highlights
end
})Use the @ prefix for treesitter groups:
require("inkline").setup({
on_highlights = function(highlights, colors)
highlights["@string"] = { fg = "#66ff00" }
highlights["@comment"] = { fg = "#888888", italic = true }
highlights["@keyword"] = { fg = "#ff6600", bold = true }
return highlights
end
