nvimFiles

A personal Neovim configuration with a retro / hacker terminal aesthetic — phosphor greens on deep black, minimal chrome, and a floating file tree. Written entirely in Lua and managed with lazy.nvim.

---

✨ Features

• Retro / hacker theme — CRT-inspired palette of phosphor green (#33ff33), amber (#ffb000), and cyan (#00ffff) on near-black backgrounds.
• Lualine statusline — custom mode-aware colors, buffer counter, hostname, clock, and command-mode indicator.
• Floating neo-tree — file explorer in a centered floating window with plain-text folders and no icon clutter.
• Tiny-cmdline — command line rendered center-screen in matching retro style.
• Simple, readable structure — plugin specs split into lua/ modules, managed with lazy.nvim.
