VIM Color Schemes

Vim Here are some color schemes I’ve put together for Vim. Most of them just grew out of the fact that I’ve used previous IDEs and editors that have similar colors and I liked them. Hope you like them.

Eclipse Color Scheme

I created this color scheme based on the default colors of the eclipse development environment. Bellow are some screen shots of what it looks like with Vim script, Java and C++. eclipse.vim

Ocean Black 256 XTerm Color Scheme

This color scheme based on Chris Vertonghen’s Ocean Black color scheme. It is basically a conversion using a quick and dirty conversion using dither.pl a Perl script I wrote to convert schemes to 256 xterm. Bellow are some screen shots of what it looks like with Vim script, Java and C++. When sending questions or comments please keep in mind that this theme will not work on 8/16 color terminals and I have not tested it in 88 color terminals. Also I am not in any way a unix/linux expert and had to endure many headaches recompiling Vim and messing with TERMCap settings trying to get the 256 term to work (since I use Putty on a XP machine and SSH to a Mac OS X box) so I wish you luck. oceanblack256.vim

Symfony Color Scheme

I created this color scheme based on the Documenation of Symfony PHP Framework. This color scheme supports a 256 color terminal too, but it hasn’t been heavily tested. Bellow are some screen shots of what it looks like with Vim script, Java and PHP. symfony.vim

    Here’s a rev 0.0.1 of an attempt at a dark background colour scheme for Eclipse: http://bit.ly/maroloccio_epf. Screenshot: http://bit.ly/maroloccio_epf_preview. Any feedback at all? (this is a big departure from what I normally use for Vim, which is: http://bit.ly/maroloccio_vim)

      Very nice color scheme. I like 256 dark schemes, easier on the eyes. Your picasa links seem to be broken, or not shared public. But was able to download it just fine.

    I am trying to use the Symfony scheme but to no avail. The colors do not appear. I am a noob when it comes to trying to customize vim so any advice or starting point would be greatly appreciated
