minim - alistic Lualine style

A minimalistic configuration of Lualine.

---

This is a personal^TM flavour of the Neovim statusline.

Colors are subtle, text is mostly plain.

Favours the dark themes.

Focus? On the code.

Single file.

---

Note!

This is, simply, a configuration which should be passed to the lualine plugin.

Setup suggestion

Copy/download the minim.lua file to your local Neovim config ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim). When setting up lualine i.e. running require("lualine").setup() - pass the minim.lua configuration to the .setup() function.

Like so...

Example

• Lazy

return {
    "nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim",
    dependencies = {
        "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons",
        "rebelot/kanagawa.nvim"
    },
    opts = function ()
        return require("minim")
        -- Or alternatively, different path to where you saved the 'minim' file, for example:
        -- return require("plugins.lualine.minim")
    end
}

... or:

return {
    "nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim",
    dependencies = {
        "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons",
        "rebelot/kanagawa.nvim"
    },
    config = function ()
        local has_lualine, lualine = pcall(require, "lualine")
        if not has_lualine then return end
        -- Or alternatively, just:
        -- local lualine = require("lualine")
        local minim = require("minim")
        -- Or alternatively, different path to where you saved the 'minim' file, for example:
        -- local minim = require("plugins.lualine.minim")
        lualine.setup(minim)
    end
}

• Packer

use {
    "nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim",
    requires = {
        { "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons", opt = true },
        { "rebelot/kanagawa.nvim", opt = true }
    },
    setup = function ()
        local has_lualine, lualine = pcall(require, "lualine")
        if not has_lualine then return end
        -- Or alternatively, just:
        -- local lualine = require("lualine")
        local minim = require("minim")
        -- Or alternatively, different path to where you saved the 'minim' file, for example:
        -- local minim = require("plugins.lualine.minim")
        lualine.setup(minim)
    end
}

Details

• Colors

Inside the colors/kanagawa/ folder, the color palette and theme of 'kanagawa' can be found. These files can be placed in your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim alongside minim.lua - in the case that you wish not to install 'kanagawa' theme as a dependency. By default, if 'kanagawa' is not installed, minim looks for the palette.lua and the theme.lua files at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/lua/colors/kanagawa/{theme, palette}.lua. If you wish to change this default location, you can edit the minim.lua file in order to point to the preferred location where you wish to store the theme.lua and palette.lua files ( look for the NOTE! at the start of minim.lua )

• Configuration

minim.lua file is quite simple and small. There are custom functions status_c() and status_x() which accept a {} (table) that defines a new lualine component in lualine sections lualine_c and lualine_x, respectively. 'Components' follow the lualine component specification.

Inspiration

This look is a blend of my personal statusline that I wrote (and will publish soon) and the Evil Lualine look.

My gratitude goes towards:

• the makers of Lualine: nvim-lualine,
