Making undercurls work properly in Tmux

To have undercurls show up and in color, add the following to your Tmux config file:

# Undercurl
set -g default-terminal "${TERM}"
set -as terminal-overrides ',*:Smulx=\E[4::%p1%dm'  # undercurl support
set -as terminal-overrides ',*:Setulc=\E[58::2::%p1%{65536}%/%d::%p1%{256}%/%{255}%&%d::%p1%{255}%&%d%;m'  # underscore colours - needs tmux-3.0

🍭 Extras

Extra color configs for Kitty, Alacritty, Fish, WezTerm and iTerm can be found in extras. To use them, refer to their respective documentation.

You can easily use the color palette for other plugins inside your Neovim config:

local colors = require("tokyonight.colors").setup({}) -- pass in any of the config options as explained above
local utils = requires("tokyonight.util")

aplugin.background = colors.bg_dark
aplugin.my_error = util.brighten(colors.red1, 0.3)

🔥 Contributing

Pull requests are welcome. For the extras, we use a simple template system that can be used to generate themes for the different styles.

How to add a new extra template:

1. create a file like lua/tokyonight/extra/cool-app.lua
2. add the name and output file extension to the extras table in lua/tokyonight/extra/init.lua
3. in the root directory, run $ lua lua/tokyonight/extra/init.lua to generate / update extra themes
4. commit the newly created themes under extra/
