On the 10.0 version, perhaps now the best version. Normal now blends more smoothly than ever at darker background ranges, and the background colour at the lighter ranges now peaks up to a pure white before coming down again to a tint which can be a shade of either light-green, cyan, rose. The contrast is great, the visibility is great, and the smoothness is great. If you haven't tried this before you'll really be amazed. |

Whilst perhaps not George-Lucas effects, this Normal elements approaches smoothness as it flips back-and-forth between dark-based and light-based background scheme, and remains pretty visible through this change.

Made funky adjustments to ease the visual flow of Normal from dark-light background and vice versa by individually switching the RGB components up/down one at a time, e.g. first Red, and so on, as otherwise it's abrupt and causes dis-orientation.

Realised that i had left a slightly exposed area around the light area of the background. This is where background is light-ish but the Normal text is not near the dark-light exchange yet. fixed this by stretching the 'ease' area, or the 'ramping' zone of the normal text. This ramping zone now covers this previously exposed zone around the lighter background. |

Added a new 'dark dip' adjustable ramp to the 'Normal' syntax element, this allows a subtle incremental 'darkening' of the text as it nears the point where it will go into 'light' mode. This darkening helps keep the visibility up right up until the last minute. Maybe some fine-tuning needed but it's much better as it is than before. Before visibility just worsened around the point where Normal would switch from light text to dark text and vice-versa as the background darkened or lightened. This no longer is true. |

Simplified the logic to just 'did i move to cause a timer previously, and if so where, hence move the opposite way'. Now it's pretty flawless apart from when you're on the final line and this line has no characters and the size of the file is only 3 lines long. This not only causes a flash/beep and the timer not to work (hence no automatic colour changes) but also when you try moving off this line it could go funny (the cursor mysteriously jumps up a line) but it's nothing serious. |

Finally made the 'timer' well-behaved by detecting if the cursor was on the first column of a line in the case where there were too few lines to move up/down. The cursor now moves *right* if you're at column 1 (first column), *not* left as before. The cursor now moves left only if your cursor is *not* on column 1, rather than indiscriminately move left Anyway, beeping/ flashing should now almost go away. There is a case that I can't handle and that's when there is only one character in the file, in which case the editor beep/ flash once as it tries to do a 'timer' but there isn't any space to move 'right' to, but hopefully that shouldn't be too bad.

There was a bug with the 'timer' routine which made vim flash/beep if there was not enough lines above to temporarily move the cursor to (this causing the 'timer'.) This has now been fixed. If there are too few lines the timer will try to move left and right instead of up and down. There is a slight possibility that the editor will beep at you if you are on the first character or if there are no characters in the file, but hopefully that should not be the case long enough to bother. Also added a line set whichwrap=h,l to minimise this flashing. If you like using this script it is better to leave this on as it will minimise this flashing/beeping. |

Corrected a slight glitch with the improved 'timer' routine that happened if the cursor was bang in the middle of the screen or the line above it. It got confused because what had been true previously had just changed. Now fixed. Did this by adding special cases of where to move 'safely' if the cursor is a) bang in the middle and b) directly *above* the middle. Did this using a 'middle' flag and an 'abovemiddle' flag. Ugly but it does the job. (Sorry, but I'm not Donald Knutz.) |

Fixed a slight glitch with the 'timer' that made Vim indiscriminately move the cursor right and then left which occasionally (depending on where your cursor was) made the screen either scroll or flash nastily, depending on what you had set 'whichwrap' to. This has now been fixed. The 'timer' hack is a bit more intelligent. It now moves only where nothing would change too drastically or cause a beep/flashed window.

Went carefuly over Statement as this was changing too agressively over the difficult visibility patch.

Tried my best to tune-up the Normal syntax element which is unique because it's background is the global background. Other elements can have their backgrounds "fixed-up" using various tricks to correct their visibility but Normal can't. Typically Normal is the keywords and most of the variable names in Javascript. Other languages rely on it to a lesser degree, but still can be quite heavily dependent on it. The better supported languages (like PHP) rely on it a lot less. Anyway, if you use Changing Colour script now Normal doesn't stand-out glaring too much but while still remaining visible at both bright and dark backgrounds. It's quite a subtle compromise between glare and visibility this one and i hope i got it right. |

Made the script so that when you go into Insert mode the background inverts using the 'next' colour in the 6-colour half-hour colour rotation. That way whenever you go into Insert mode the background will turn into the background in 30 minutes' time in Normal mode giving you a quick 'peek' into the next half-hour. Previously the background would change just into whatever the colour was on the other half hour of the current hour. |

This means that the background now lightens-up using a certain shade, darkens down in another shade, then lightens-up in yet another, and so on. for a total of six different colours over 3 hours.

The same as before but made the brightening work a bit more 'blended-in' with the background, so as the background lightens the Normal element kicks-in a bit stronger with its own lightening so that it doesn't get 'out-lightened' by the lighter background, while at the same time Normal doesn't lighten too strongly at darker background ranges to compensate for the fact that contrast is better anyway. Now Normal blends in very nicely throughout all background lightnesses. |

My mistake got some bad values into Identifier somehow this has been fixed sorry. Was getting super-dark instead of just turning a slightly darker shade of green where the visibility gets bad with the background. |

Added some colours to the Javascript colour coding as it looks very poor otherwise. Constant 'numbers' in JavaScript now behave the same as PHP Constants. Javascript brackets now behave the same as PHP punctuation symbols.

Found that making Visual a bit milder made it a bit difficult to read sometimes so made it a little bit stronger so hopefully it still doesn't obstruct text but is clear enough to see. |

Still experienced problems with visibility of 'Directory', not noticed before because Directory does not often appear - occurs inside the :Ex command (File Browse). Now this looks both beautiful and easy to see at any lightness. Made Visual a bit less strong as this was previously was blocking out the text. Now it's only a shade different to make sure the selected text text stays visible.

Cured disastrous visibility failure of Directories in the file browser command :Ex. Directory was almost totally invisible at a particular background lightness as it happened exactly when I needed to see what directory I was in. Update to this script now and this wont happen to you. |

Stretched the 'lighting-up time' of Identifier a bit later into the darkness. The 'lighting-up' was coming-up slightly before it 'got really dark', so this looked a bit silly. Now Identifier feels more like it lights up at exactly the correct time. |

Fine-tuned the visibility protection of Comment so that it now looks great around the dark background area. Previously was looking a bit muggy. Stretched this protection exactly around the perceptional boundary area and fined-tuned the 'back-darkening' effect at this lower range as well so that it now just does that job it should do. |

Made the backgrounds fade very smoothly, as i found that there were still inconsistencies. They have now have been fixed. The colours of the background now blend smoothly from dark to light. Fixed sudden brightening that occurred of the of background. Now the transition is sweet. Also the background stays consistently coloured. Previously it would go dark green and suddently change to a very light-red colour. A slight glitch that is now corrected by manipulating R,G,B values better. Hour 1: dark-brown to light yellow. Hour 2: dark-green to light-green. Hour 3: dark grey-purple to light-pink. |

Made Identifier have the 'lights on' look a bit later so that when this happens seems about the right time with relation to how dark the background is. Previously Idenfier became 'lights on' well before the background was really that dark and this looked a bit stupid. |

Realised that the background was not continuous on the second hour. Made the background fading continuous, so it looks like there's continuity. Hour 1 background fades smoothly between dark-blue to light-yellow. Hours 2 it goes smoothly from dark-green to a lighter green. Finally hour 3 the background goes smoothly from a dark-red to a light pinky colour. I feel that whilst these are not the prettiest shades ever, that they are at least doing the job. I need to try these out fully to get a feel for how they're working and hence get better shades, but for now they're working. (Look smooth). Watch this space for better ideas. |

Made the visibility-protection of Identifier a bit less glary. Previously i was trying to use brightening of the background to improve visibility but it was too strong. This was my fault. I was trying to improve it. Apologies. I've now corrected this so that Identifier remains remain nice and easy on the eyes as the back- ground fades from dark-light and vice versa. |

Made a slight boo-boo in that the speed being quicker of the background changes also meant that the frequency of the updates speeds up. Did not realise this. My mistake, poor programmer here. Fixed it now so that by default the background updates only every minute.

Changed the speed at which background shifts from light to dark and vice-versa so that instead of going gradually from dark to light over the hour then back in the next hour, the background now does so in a half hour slots so the same as happened over two hours before now happens over one hour. The 'shaded backgrounds' added in 4.2 keep it interesting as on hour 1 the colour shades differently to what it does on hour 2, and again to what it does on hour 3. If you feel this is too sudden stick to script version 4.5 as this version does this more gradually over 2 hour slots. |

Whilst trying to de-saturate the lighter background shades i seemed to get the math wrong and therefore at certain ranges the background looks super-saturated. This is fixed now. The background is truly pastel at all lighter background ranges, i fixed the math. |

Made the higher backgrounds of the new differing shades a bit less glary. Previously they were quite saturated colours and didn't look nice. Now they're tasteful shades of pastel. The hour 1-2 colours are pastel yellow, hour 3-4 colours are cyan, and finally the hours 5-6 colours are pastel pink. |

Added a pleasant (i hope not too bad at least) selection of background (shades) along with the one that was there before. Now, on hour 1 the back- ground sticks to a normal (looking from dark-light) blue to light-yellow scheme, and on hour 2 as usual in reverse (same but going from light to dark), then on hour 3 going to light again the background shades green to light-blue, then in reverse on hour 4, then finally on 5 going to light the background shades green to light-pink, then in reverse in reverse on hour 6. |

For some reason i missed that at the very darkest background Search was indistinguishable from the background - messed this up, my own fault i apologise. I focussed to narrowly on 'dark' and didn't go right down all the way down to black where Search got invisble (or indistinguishable from the background at any rate.) This is now fixed.

Went over visibility of Identifier at lighter backgrounds. It was ok at the darker backgrounds, but lighter backgrounds were adjusted wrongly, making too much use of 'background-lightening' to bring out the colour of Identifier. Darkened this down and now it looks a lot more pleasant. |

Mildened-down the agressive dark-background 'enhancement' at the dark-background range of Identifier. It feels a lot smoother now because previously the darkening of the background effect kicked-in too heavily resulting in it being disorientating to look at. Now it just feels much smoother. |

Made a tiny correction to the length of time before the Constant went into the clash-background 'danger' area from dark to light, went ahead and delayed it by one minute. The change although small compared to other changes i've made recently changes the change (no pun intended) from a somewhat 'deadening' looking effect into as a lucid inversion of colour which is more pleasing to look at. |

Made the transition into 'danger' area from dark->light| of the Constant a bit more gradual so as to maintain an overall illusion of progress. Previously the change had been abrupt (Constants went quite dark suddenly) so this illusion was lost. To do this modified the start and end times of the 'danger' area. Went ahead and added new easeArea global variable to allow the easing length to be controlled. This allowed me to go ahead and create longer easing for the Constant from dark->light as well, again smoothing the change from non-'danger' to 'danger'. |

Added fading effect to the way backlighting engages so as background progresses darker->lighter or vice-versa for some elements the acklighting doesn't instantly 'kick-in' but becomes stronger gradually. This affects Constant at darker background, Statement and Identifier. Also strengthened the contrast of StatusBar and StatusBarNC, as they were a bit blurry at darker background tones. |

Made the Constant look pretty at the lighter background area. Optimised as much as I could the visibility of Constant at lower background tones and the darker part of the clash-background area. Clash background is where background is very similar to text's colour and therefore is hardest for the eye to see. |

Made it much simpler the way text is adjusted. Now it goes ahead and adjusts by a linear amount, not like a zig-zag. This improves the quality of text 'darkening' at fuzzy visibility backgrounds. Removed uncessarily bright backgrounds, now that text darkens more predictably. |

I have to admit the visibility at low-light backgrounds of the Constant was still rubbish. I believe I fixed this now. It's sharp at the darker end and at the mid-end. Also fixed the visibility of Comment that was poor around the clash-background area and just below it. |

Made the Constant text colour change more gradually as it goes over the 'danger' area. Previously the text colour went to jet-black suddenly as the background hit the dark boundary coming from from dark background. It looked silly, suddenly going black. Now the colour is a more nice dark-brown colour, not jet-black as it does this. Tuned-in the background 'down'-lighting of Constant at the dark boundary of the danger zone so it is exactly as dark as it needs to be, no more, and correspondingly tuned-in the in-the-danger-zone' background adjustment so that it brings out nicely the new non-jet-black text colour. |
