Born from the classic desert.vim, transformed and modernized into something new entirely.
Oasis follows Melangeβs warm/cool split philosophy (warm = action/flow, cool = structure/data).

[!NOTE] Use TMUX? There is a companion TMUX plugin for this Oasis theme suite: tmux-oasis
Install the theme with your preferred package manager, such as folke/lazy.nvim:
{
"uhs-robert/oasis.nvim",
lazy = false,
priority = 1000,
config = function()
require('oasis').setup({
style = "lagoon", -- Optional: Choose any style like `lagoon` or 'dune'.
})
end
}
The theme offers 14 different styles to choose from: night, midnight, abyss, starlight, desert, sol, canyon, dune, cactus, mirage, lagoon, twilight, rose, and dawn.
Oasis works out of the box, but you can customize it using setup().
require('oasis').setup({
style = "lagoon", -- Choose your style (e.g., "lagoon", "desert", "dune", etc:)
use_legacy_comments = false, -- Uses the legacy comment color in the `desert` style only (a bright sky blue)
palette_overrides = {}, -- Override colors in specific palettes
highlight_overrides = {}, -- Override specific highlight groups
})
Thirsty for total control? Oasis allows you to override whatever you like.
Whoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst...
palette_overrides - Customize colors in palettes (See Color Palettes for palette structure)
require('oasis').setup({
palette_overrides = {
oasis_lagoon = {

ui = { border = "#61AFEF" }
}
}
})
highlight_overrides - Override or add highlight groups (See Theme Generator for highlight groups):
require('oasis').setup({
highlight_overrides = {
Comment = { fg = "#5C6370", italic = true },
Function = { fg = "#E06C75", bold = true },
Identifier = "Function" -- Link to another group
}
})
setup() to launch nvim with your desired style-- Use default style (lagoon)
require('oasis').setup()
-- Or specify a style
require('oasis').setup({ style = "desert" })
colorscheme command to swap on the flyvim.cmd.colorscheme("oasis") -- default (lagoon)
vim.cmd.colorscheme("oasis-desert") -- specific style

Some plugins need extra configuration to work with Oasis.
To override the tokyonight default and start fresh in the oasis:
{
"LazyVim/LazyVim",
opts = {
colorscheme = "oasis",
},
},
To include automatic Lualine theme integration:
require('lualine').setup {
options = {
theme = 'oasis' -- Automatically matches your current Oasis style
}
}
To include tab bar theme integration:
require('tabby').setup({
theme = 'oasis' -- Automatically matches your current Oasis style
})
Extra color configs for Kitty can be found in extras. If you'd like an extra config added, raise a feature request and I'll put it together.
To use the extras, refer to their respective documentation.
There are also companion plugins for other applications:
