### Setting light theme
Set `vim.opt.background` to `'light'`. This will only work on color sets that have light theme.
### Light theme
For light theme, set `vim.opt.background` to `'light'`. This will only work on color sets that have light theme.

### Color sets
Non-original color sets are made to match their original version as closely as possible with the same highlight rules as mellifluous.

#### Overriding colors of a color set
### Color overrides
The following snippet shows where and which colors can be overridden:

```lua
require 'mellifluous'.setup({
<color_set_name> = { -- name any of the defined color sets
color_overrides = {
dark = { -- dark variant of the color set
bg = nil, -- used for shades, on some color sets fg will be derived from this
fg = nil, -- used for shades if shades_fg is undefined
shades_fg = nil, -- used for shades (dimmed foregrounds)

main_keywords = nil,
other_keywords = nil,
types = nil,
operators = nil,
strings = nil,
functions = nil,
constants = nil,
comments = nil,

red = nil, -- errors, deletes, bad spellings
orange = nil, -- warnings, changes, unusual spellings
green = nil, -- staged, additions
blue = nil, -- information, new files
purple = nil, -- hints, merge

-- for better terminal highlights
yellow = nil,
cyan = nil,
dark = { -- for dark theme
bg = nil, -- used for bg shades and may be used for some colorset colors
colors = function(colors)
return {
-- return overridden colors here
-- check available colors section for colors that can be used and overriden.
}
end,
},
light = { -- light variant of the color set
light = { -- for light theme
-- same keys as in dark variant
},
}
}
})
```

For example, to override a color for the main keywords group in the dark version of the mellifluous color set, one could do the following:
To override colors for all colorsets, omit `<color_set_name>` table.

NOTE: parameter `colors` will have all of the colors set by the colorset, but it will not have shades.

Example:

```lua
require 'mellifluous'.setup({
-- invert bg shades for all colorsets
color_overrides = {
dark = {
colors = function(colors)
return {
bg2 = colors.bg:darkened(2),
bg3 = colors.bg:darkened(4),
bg4 = colors.bg:darkened(6),
bg5 = colors.bg:darkened(8),
}
end,
}
},
-- modify some colors for mellifluous colorset
mellifluous = {
color_overrides = {
dark = {
main_keywords = '#e0e066'
bg = function(bg)
return bg:lightened(2)
end,
colors = function(colors)
return {
main_keywords = '#e0e066',
operators = colors.functions:desaturated(10),
}
end,
}
}
}
})
```

#### Overriding highlights of a color set
The following snippet shows how highlight overrides can be defined for a specific color set:

```lua
require 'mellifluous'.setup({
<color_set_name> = { -- name any of the defined color sets
-- config structure from here is the same as for global highlight overrides
}
})
```

For further instructions, refer to [overriding highlights](#overriding-highlights) section

##### Extra colors
In addition to the colors listed in [available colors](#available-colors) section, some color sets may have more colors available (`cyan`). To check your color set, refer to [the source code for color sets](lua/mellifluous/colors/sets/) and see if `get_colors_*` functions return any extra (optional) colors.

The following snippet shows how global (for any color set) highlight overrides can be defined:
### Highlight overrides
The following snippet shows how highlight overrides can be defined:

dark = function(highlighter, colors) -- dark theme
-- set highlights here (using highlighter)
end,
light = function(highlighter, colors) -- light variant of the color set
light = function(highlighter, colors) -- light theme
-- set highlights here (using highlighter)
end,
}
-- highlight overrides for specific colorset
<colorset_name> = {
highlight_overrides = {
dark = function(highlighter, colors) -- dark variant of the color set
-- set highlights here (using highlighter)
end,
light = function(highlighter, colors) -- light variant of the color set
-- set highlights here (using highlighter)
end,
}
}
})

#### Available colors
To use one of the available colors from a color set, in highlight definition map, set the value of `fg`, `bg` or `sp` key to `colors.available_color`
### Available colors
Named colors are used several times in configuration (as parameter `colors` of some function). This section lists and explains those colors.

Available colors:

- Syntax element colors.
- Syntax element colors
- `main_keywords`: used to indicate keywords related to control flow.
- `other_keywords`
- `types`

Some colorsets may have more colors available. To check that, refer to [the source of the colorset](lua/mellifluous/colors/colorsets/).
