description
I started with the evening colorscheme included in the distro, and tweaked a few colors to my liking.  Then I decided to do a major overhaul and give the whole thing a desert evening sort of feel.  I find it a very pleasing, easy-on-the-eyes theme.

Update: now on github for your forking pleasure. The version I uploaded there is probably slightly different than the version I last uploaded here.
 
install details
Get the latest version at https://github.com/fugalh/desert.vim
Put in ~/.vim/colors or (<your-vim-dir>\vimfiles\colors on Windows) and do
:colorscheme desert

You can probably use it with vim 5.x if you want to try sourcing it from your .vimrc and perhaps debugging/deleting some stuff (non-essential for this kind of usage)
