Configuration

Spinel comes with sensible defaults. Call setup() before loading the colorscheme to customize:

require("spinel").setup({
  -- Enable transparent background
  transparent = false,

  -- Set terminal colors
  terminal_colors = true,

  -- Style customization
  styles = {
    comments = { italic = true },
    keywords = { italic = false, bold = false },
    functions = { italic = false, bold = false },
    parameters = { italic = true },
    booleans = { bold = true },
  },

  -- Override colors
  on_colors = function(colors)
    colors.bg = "#1a1a1a"
  end,

  -- Override highlight groups
  on_highlights = function(hl, colors)
    hl.Comment = { fg = colors.comment, italic = true }
  end,

  -- Plugin integration
  plugins = {
    auto = true, -- Auto-detect loaded plugins
    telescope = true,
    nvim_tree = true,
    gitsigns = true,
    cmp = true,
    which_key = true,
    indent_blankline = true,
    lazy = true,
  },
})
