oldtale.nvim

Oldtale is a Neovim colorscheme inspired by OldWorld.nvim and mellow.nvim, focused on visual comfort. While maintaining OldWorld's gentle color palette, it features slightly increased contrast for better readability, along with fine-tuned adjustments to syntax highlighting and UI elements to better suit personal preferences.

⚙️ Configuration

local default_config = {
	terminal_colors = true,
	styles = {
		comments = {},
		keywords = {},
		identifiers = {},
		functions = {},
		variables = {},
		booleans = {},
	},
	integrations = {
		blink = false,
		cmp = false,
		gitsigns = false,
		lazy = false,
