vim-dzo

A dark color scheme for Vim based on a custom palette. It aims to be selective in its use of color and contrast. Compared to other themes it doesn't pack your editor full of a full spectrum of colors.

If you like the look and feel, but its not quite there, note that it shares some colors with vim-hybrid:

• vim-hybrid

Which is, in turn, built on top of:

• Tomorrow-Night's palette.
• Jellybeans' syntax group highlighting.
• Solarized's vimscript.

Requirements

• gVim 7.3+ on Linux, Mac and Windows.
• Vim 7.3+ on Linux and Mac, using a terminal that supports 256 colours.

Installation

Terminal Colors

Due to the limited 256 terminal color palette, the gVim colors cannot be used directly in vim. In order to use the theme's palette in the terminal the colors must be added to your ~/.Xresources file or other terminal specific configuration.

.Xresources:

! vim-dzo colors
*background: #1A1A1A
*foreground: #EEEEEF
! black
*color0: #1A1A1A
*color8: #373B41
! red
*color1: #A54242
*color9: #CC6666
! green
*color2: #99cf50
*color10: #8bb664
! yellow
*color3: #FDAF87
*color11: #DDA790
! blue
*color4: #5F819D
*color12: #81A2BE
! magenta
*color5: #85678F
*color13: #B294BB
! cyan
*color6: #005577
*color14: #89BDFF
! white
*color7: #707880
*color15: #C5C8C6

For other users pre-made configuration files will be added in the future. Please feel free to submit your own.
