🚀 Usage

After installation, activate the theme:

Basic Usage

-- Simple activation
vim.cmd.colorscheme('mapledark')

Advanced Configuration

-- Load with options
require('mapledark').setup({
  -- Disable plugin highlights for faster load times
  disable_plugin_highlights = false,

  -- Load only specific plugin highlights (improves performance)
  plugins = { 'lazy', 'mason', 'telescope' },

  -- Force reload (clears cache)
  force = false,
})

On-Demand Plugin Loading

-- Load specific plugin highlights only when needed
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('FileType', {
  pattern = 'lazy',
  callback = function()
    require('mapledark').load_plugin('lazy')
  end,
})

Theme Development

-- Clear cache and reload theme
require('mapledark').reload()

-- Clear cache only
require('mapledark').clear_cache()

Vimscript

colorscheme mapledark

⚡ Performance

Maple Dark is optimized for performance with several caching mechanisms:

• Color Caching: Color palette is computed once and cached
• Highlight Caching: Theme won't reload if already loaded (unless forced)
• Plugin Lazy Loading: Plugin highlights are loaded asynchronously
• Modular Plugin Support: Load only the plugin highlights you need
• Read-only Colors: Color table is protected to prevent accidental modifications

These optimizations ensure fast startup times even with extensive plugin support.
