" customize your own highlight with lua
lua <<EOF
  vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, '@string', {fg='#59E343'})
  vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, '@field', {fg='#f93393'})
  vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, '@number', {fg='#e933e3'})

lua setup

A lua version is provided, if the neovim version is higher than 0.6.x, lua script will be loaded automatically. The lua version will be much faster as it using native API vim.api.nvim_set_hl() My tests shows loading the theme 5000 times took 3s, which means 0.6ms loading time. The vim version normally 15ms startup time.

  -- lazy
   {
    'ray-x/aurora',
    init = function()
      vim.g.aurora_italic = 1
      vim.g.aurora_transparent = 1
      vim.g.aurora_bold = 1
    end,
    config = function()
        vim.cmd.colorscheme "aurora"
        -- override defaults
        vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, '@number', {fg='#e933e3'})
    end
    }

fast startup time

On my intel 11 i7 xps, loading time is 2ms on average.
