Blue Screen

… is a minimal and monochromatic Neovim theme inspired by the notorious blue screen of death and dedicated to error 0xA, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

Example: Lines 66–87 from linux/security/commoncap.c@v6.0 rendered in foot at 80 × 24 featuring Intel One Mono at 10.5 pt, nvim-treesitter, Lualine and Indent Blankline

Requirements

• Neovim 0.9.0 or later
• A terminal emulator that supports 24-bit RGB color, italics and undercurls

Recommendations

This theme is optimized for the following option values:

vim.opt.colorcolumn = ""
vim.opt.cursorcolumn = false
vim.opt.cursorline = true
vim.opt.cursorlineopt = "number"
vim.opt.number = true

Should you prefer a different combination of option values, this theme may not work well for you.

Installation

Please follow the instructions for your favorite package manager.

Usage

Lua

require("blue-screen").setup()

Vimscript

colorscheme blue-screen

Explicitly supported plugins

To promote aesthetic consistency, Ryoko may update highlight groups for some plugins that she uses. This theme accounts for the following plugins:

• hrsh7th/nvim-cmp
• lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim
• nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim
• nvim-treesitter

Backward compatibility of highlight groups

Because the Neovim ecosystem is unstable and changing rapidly, Ryoko prefers to minimize cognitive load than to maintain backward compatibility. She will keep deprecated highlight groups for at least:

• Neovim: one minor version
• stable semantically versioned plugins: one major version
• nonversioned or unstable plugins: two months
