Everforest for lich

A green based color scheme designed to be warm and soft in order to protect developers' eyes

Usage

1. Open lich → Settings → Appearance → Import.
2. Paste the repository URL: https://github.com/lichdotdev/everforest-lich
3. Click Install.
4. Pick a variant in the theme picker. The terminal picker defaults to Match app theme, so one pick dresses both — or choose a different variant there if you want the panes to differ.

To take a later release, hit Update on the theme's row.

Local install

An absolute path is an accepted remote, so a clone installs the same way:

git clone https://github.com/lichdotdev/everforest-lich.git

Then paste the absolute path of the clone into Settings → Appearance → Import.

Variants

Everforest ships each background at three contrasts (hard, medium, soft). This pack carries the default, medium.

Theme	id	scheme
Everforest Dark	everforest-dark	dark
Everforest Light	everforest-light	light

Status tones

tone-pass and tone-wait are what lich 0.53.0 reads for "passed" and "waiting on you". The status line sets them at 12px, where WCAG asks 4.5:1 with no large-text exemption, so where the palette value did not clear that against the card it sits on, its lightness was moved and its hue and saturation kept: the same move lich makes for its own two.

Variant	tone-pass	tone-wait
Everforest Dark	#a7c080 (green)	#dbbc7f (yellow)
Everforest Light	#657301 (green, darkened)	#8d6500 (yellow, darkened)

Syntax highlighting

Each variant carries a syntax section that colors code in the review, diff and file views of lich native. The colors are the Medium editor schemes of the Everforest JetBrains plugin (Everforest_Dark_Medium.xml, Everforest_Light_Medium.xml), each DEFAULT_* attribute mapped to the highlighting tag it styles.

Contributing

Each variant is one lich theme file — everforest-dark.json, everforest-light.json — beside the lich-theme.json manifest that carries the pack's version. Colors come from the palette in autoload/everforest.vim, and the terminal ANSI colors follow the mapping in colors/everforest.vim.

To propose a tweak:

1. Fork the repo.
2. Edit the relevant variant file.
3. Validate the whole directory — a repository installs all or nothing: node validate.mjs . (ships with the lich theme skill).
4. Bump version in lich-theme.json in the same commit. An unbumped version ships nothing: Update compares only that number.
5. Open a PR.
