### All contributions are very welcome but themes/ extensions require a lot of work on my part if not done properly so here's a guide on how to do them.
### Adding a theme
* refer to example below to see how themes are defined
* take 4 screenshots showing a different vim modes (normal, insert, visual, replace)

<summary><b>theme example</b></summary>
To create a custom theme you need to define a colorscheme for each of vim's modes. Each mode has a `fg` and `bg` field for every lualine section.
This is really easy in lua. Here is and example of a gruvbox theme.
```lua
local gruvbox = { }
local colors = {
black = "#282828",
white = '#ebdbb2',
red = '#fb4934',
green = '#b8bb26',
blue = '#83a598',
yellow = '#fe8019',
gray = '#a89984',
darkgray = '#3c3836',
lightgray = '#504945',
inactivegray = '#7c6f64',
}
gruvbox.normal = {
a = {
bg = colors.gray,
fg = colors.black,
},
b = {
bg = colors.lightgray,
fg = colors.white,
},
c = {
bg = colors.darkgray,
fg = colors.gray
}
}
gruvbox.insert = {
a = {
bg = colors.blue,
fg = colors.black,
},
b = {
bg = colors.lightgray,
fg = colors.white,
},
c = {
bg = colors.lightgray,
fg = colors.white
}
}
gruvbox.visual = {
a = {
bg = colors.yellow,
fg = colors.black,
},
b = {
bg = colors.lightgray,
fg = colors.white,
},
c = {
bg = colors.inactivegray,
fg = colors.black
},
}
gruvbox.replace = {
a = {
bg = colors.red,
fg = colors.black,
},
b = {
bg = colors.lightgray,
fg = colors.white,
},
c = {
bg = colors.black,
fg = colors.white
},
}
gruvbox.command = {
a = {
bg = colors.green,
fg = colors.black,
},
b = {
bg = colors.lightgray,
fg = colors.white,
},
c = {
bg = colors.inactivegray,
fg = colors.black
},
}
gruvbox.terminal = gruvbox.normal
gruvbox.inactive = {
a = {
bg = colors.darkgray,
fg = colors.gray,
},
b = {
bg = colors.darkgray,
fg = colors.gray,
},
c = {
bg = colors.darkgray,
fg = colors.gray
},
}
lualine.theme = gruvbox
```
