Nord colour scheme (from Arctic Ice Studios) for the Nova editor from Panic Inc.

Nord Theme for Nova

Based on the fantastic work made by the Arctic Ice Studio Team for Coda 2, which is released under a MIT license.

Instructions

Of course, you need to have Nova installed (FYI, it only works under macOS).

If you're a proud owner of Nova, you ought to be able to go to Extensions > Extension Library > Themes (tab) and pick the theme from there — search for Nord.

If that doesn't work, just clone this project (or download it from the releases page), it'll magically turn into a 'component' thingy, and you can then double-click it to add this theme to Nova!

Swatch

If you wish to add the Nord theme palette for the Nova 5+ built-in Color Picker, you can install it from inside the package for this extension, under Swatches\Nord.json. Until I figure out how this works automatically, you will need to upload it manually: from the Color Picker, click on the gear icon, and select Swatches/Import...

Note: the Color Picker also seems to be able to directly open Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE) files, so you probably can use the official nord.ase file instead).

Disclaimer

Nova is a code editor developed by Panic Inc.

I'm neither an employee, nor a collaborator, nor a stakeholder in either Panic Inc. and/or Arctic Ice Studio. I just love both their work as a faithful fan!

Please take into account that I hardly know what I'm doing. Hope it works for you. This is being released for the sole purpose of testing how designing themes for Nova work; no infringements are intended; also, I might be tweaking this theme frequently, as I start figuring out how the colour assignments actually work; thus, caveat utilitor.

Special thanks

Thanks to Dennis Osaj, designer of the wonderful advanced PHP extension as well as the Varia theme, who pointed out that I should add a few more styling classes to deal with the specificities of advanced PHP — as well as XML, HTML and JavaScript, which are better supported by the Varia Theme.

This version of the Nord Theme for Nova is adding experimental support for advanced PHP, but be advised that things may still be broken or not display properly... I'm still learning about all these things!

Adding "advancedPHP" to your Theme

Heyho,
I saw your theme and noticed a growing popularity.

I'm asking if you could add "advancedPHP" to your theme. It's one of my own extensions and I want to provide more theme coverage for my users.

You can find a theme development documentation in its repo: https://github.com/dennisosaj/advancedphp.novaextension

I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Background for code blocks is distracting

Would you consider a different background color for code blocks? This is pretty hard to read, or even look at, in my opinion. 😬 (I can submit a pull request if you’re open to suggestions.)
