Auto-Setup Behavior
By default, Avante automatically sets highlight groups if they haven’t been customized:
behaviour = {
auto_set_highlight_group = true, -- default
}
Customization Examples
Example 1: Custom Conflict Colors
-- Set before loading avante
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'AvanteConflictCurrent', {
bg = '#4a2c2e',
bold = true,
})
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'AvanteConflictIncoming', {
bg = '#2c3d3d',
bold = true,
})
Example 2: Using Existing Highlight Groups
require('avante').setup({
highlights = {
diff = {
current = "DiffText",
incoming = "DiffAdd",
},
},
})
Example 3: Custom Titles
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'AvanteTitle', {
fg = '#ffffff',
bg = '#5c6370',
bold = true,
})
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'AvanteSubtitle', {
fg = '#ffffff',
bg = '#61afef',
})
Example 4: Disable Auto-Setup
require('avante').setup({
behaviour = {
auto_set_highlight_group = false,
},
})
-- Then manually set all highlights
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'AvanteTitle', { ... })
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'AvanteSubtitle', { ... })
-- etc.
