An arctic, north-bluish clean and elegant Vim color theme.

Designed for a fluent and clear workflow based on the Nord color palette.

Build for Vim's terminal- and GUI mode with _true colors_ with support for many third-party syntax and UI plugins including bundled themes for [lightline.vim][gh-itchyny/lightline.vim] and [vim-airline][gh-vim-airline/vim-airline]. ## Getting Started Visit the [official website][nord-home] to learn all about the [syntax highlighting][nord-home#syntax] features, details and elements of [UI and editor elements][nord-home#editor-details], the [various theme configurations][nord-home#configurations] and the [support for many plugins][nord-home#plugin-support]. Learn about the [installation and activation][nord-docs-home-install], how to [configure][nord-docs-home-config] and [customize][nord-docs-home-custom] the theme from the [official documentations][nord-docs-home]. ### Quick Start Thanks to existing plugin/_runtimepath_ managers for Vim, Nord Vim can be installed for all platforms and the various variants/forks of Vim in a uniform way within a few lines of codes. The recommended manager is [vim-plug][gh-junegunn/vim-plug], but any other manager like [pathogen][gh-tpope/vim-pathogen] or [Vundle][gh-vundlevim/vundle.vim] can also be used. To automatically download and activate Nord Vim, follow the install instructions for [vim-plug][gh-junegunn/vim-plug] and 1. add `Plug 'arcticicestudio/nord-vim'` to your [`vimrc`][vimhelp-vimrc] within _vim-plug_'s plugin loading function 2. run the `:PlugInstall` command in Vim 3. activate the theme by adding `colorscheme nord` to the [vimrc][vimhelp-vimrc] or change it on-the-fly by running `:colorscheme nord`

See the Nord Vim's documentation for [more installation options][nord-docs-home-install] and how to [set it up manually][nord-docs-home-install#manual]. ## Features
