Lite XL colors

Color themes for the Lite XL text editor, originally forked from the lite colors repository.

How to install

To install a color scheme, drop the .lua file directly into:

  • Linux ~/.config/lite-xl/colors/
  • MacOS ~/.config/lite-xl/colors/
  • Windows C:\Users\(username)\.config\lite-xl\colors\

You can also use lpm to install any of the below themes.

lpm install everforest

Then, add a call to core.reload_module to your user module (the gear in the bottom left corner). As an example, if you installed the github_dark.lua file into your colors folder, you'd load it with:

core.reload_module("colors.github_dark")

You can also preview what a color theme looks like with:

THEME=everforest; lpm run $THEME --config="core.reload_module('colors.$THEME')"

Base16 Themes

@SmileYzn has created a theme manager for base16 themes as a plugin. Please see here, if you'd like to install a base16 theme.

Note: if you make a pull request, please update the manifest.json. The below table will be automatically updated as part of CI; please do not bother modifying it.
