NOTE: This is my personal fork of Franco's colorschemes plugin. At some point colors/darkBlue.vim
was renamed to colors/darkblue.vim
incorrect and it causes macOS & git to throw a fit every time I update my plugins. So I forked it and forced a rename and called it a day. If that's all you're looking to do — to stop your Vim plugin manager from yelling at you every time you update all plugins then you can use this fork instead. But I prolly won't be maintaining it and if Franco ever fixes the issue in the main repo I'll prolly close this fork. If you're using this and then one day it doesn't exist it means Franco fixed the git rename issue in the main repo and you can move back to that.
me: Hi everyone, my name is Franco and I'm addicted to colorschemes
everyone else: Hi Franco
one stop shop for vim colorschemes.
this was [originally] harvested from vim.org. only colorschemes downloaded in a single .vim
file are included.
for hacking on vim.org harvesting see the branch prep.
- honor system is in effect!
- new schemes are welcome!
- upstream updates are accepted!
- non-upstream updates are accepted as derivitive schemes: pick a new filename; cite the original!
- housekeeping updates are accepted too!
Basic install - very simple (*nix or cygwin install)
mkdir ~/.vim
git clone https://github.com/flazz/vim-colorschemes.git ~/.vim
if you use vim + pathogen
cd ~/.vim
git submodule add https://github.com/flazz/vim-colorschemes.git bundle/colorschemes
if you use vim + vundle
" add to .vimrc
Plugin 'flazz/vim-colorschemes'
:PluginInstall
if you aren't so clever just get all the files in colors/*.vim
into
~/.vim/colors
# after downloading; unpacking; cd'ing
cp colors/* ~/.vim/colors
To change the colorscheme of Vim, add to your .vimrc
:
colorscheme nameofcolorscheme
For example, to change the color scheme to wombat:
colorscheme wombat
To change to Molokai:
colorscheme molokai
Inside Vim, you use:
:colorscheme molokai
There are quite a few colorschemes in this. To preview them on your live code inside of Vim, checkout this page from the vim wikia and this repo for easy installation.
fork this repo; send a pull request!; I'll take it!
I'm a slave to aesthetics. If you are too, I hope this helps.
