Visual Customizations

This page is for changes to the look and feel of the plugin. Things like colors, dynamic sizing or positioning, etc.

Floating Window Settings

Float Right

This is a nice look where the sidebar will float to the right, positioned like a right hand sidebar but floating. One side effect of this layout is that it will automatically close the tree after you open a file.

      require("neo-tree").setup({
        filesystem = {
          window = {
            popup = {
              position = { col = "100%", row = "2" },
              size = function(state)
                local root_name = vim.fn.fnamemodify(state.path, ":~")
                local root_len = string.len(root_name) + 4
                return {
                  width = math.max(root_len, 50),
                  height = vim.o.lines - 6
                }
              end
            },
          }
        }
      })

The above configuration uses a function to return the size so the height can be adjusted. It will also dynamically change the width to show the entire root path if it is long.
