The ColorSchemer is a Forms library based utility. The Forms library  can be found at http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4150 or https://github.com/megaannum/forms The ColorSchemer consist of three parts:   Basic utilty and core data,   Cterm distilled color scheme data files and   Gui distilled color scheme data files. The core subset of colorschemer does not require either the cterm or gui data files. It consist of the Distill code found in 'distill.vim' and the Viewer code found in 'viewer.vim'. In addition, it has a collection of some 687 third-party color scheme files. The Distiller will take one or more color scheme files and produce 'distilled' versions of those color schema. The processing does the following: *  It eliminates those highlight group declarations that are redundant, *  It eliminates those group attributes that are redundant, *  Generates a standard comment header and initial VimL code:         set background= 'light' or 'dark'         hi clear         if exists("syntax_on")             syntax reset         endif         let g:colors_name = expand("<sfile>:t:r") *  Output highlight group definitions targeted for specific GVim and Vim configurations:         if has("gui_running")             " highlights for GVim         elseif &t_Co == 256             " highlights for 256 color Xterm Vim         elseif &t_Co == 88             " highlights for 88 urvxt color Vim         elseif &t_Co == 16             " highlights for 16 color Xterm Vim         else " &t_Co == 8             " highlights for 8 color Xterm Vim         endif *  It eliminates redundant link definitions, *  The background color set depends primarily on the Normal background value and not what the color scheme file says (because, they sometimes lie). *  When appropriate generates both a 'dark' and 'light' version of the same base color scheme file. One of the Distill functions takes all of the 687 third-party color schema and distills them. It should be noted that slightly different results are achieved when executing the Distill code in GVim versus Vim (some color schemes only have definitions for GVim or Vim). Also part of the core distribution that allows one to very easily view different file-types applying different color schemes. Far easier and quicker than other ways. The viewer can be invoked through the mapping:     <Leader>cv The Cterm distribution contains the set of distilled files generated by the distill script by using Vim. A user can simply download this set if they do not want to generate them themselves using distill.vim. The Gui distribution contains the set of distilled files generated by the distill script by using GVim. A user can simply download this set if they do not want to generate them themselves using distill.vim.

install details

To get the Basic utilty and core data:   Download the colorschemer_core.zip file To get the Cterm distilled color scheme files   Download the colorschemer_cterm.zip file To get the Gui distilled color scheme files   Download the colorschemer_gui.zip file A zip snapshot of the {ColorSchemer} library can be downloaded from www.vim.org (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4240) In your Vim home, normally $HOME/.vim in Unix, unzip the file:     # cd $HOME/.vim     # unzip colorschemer_core.zip     # unzip colorschemer_cterm.zip       -- optional     # unzip colorschemer_gui.zip         -- optional On a Windows system, vim home is normally $HOME/vimfiles.     TODO how to unpack on Windows? {ColorSchemer} is also available via [githup](http://github.com/megaannum/colorschemer). One can download a release from github and extract content. If as a developer, one wants fixes as they appear, one can clone the github {ColorSchemer} repository and, as updates appear, copy the files over to you Vim home location. Vim has a number of third-party plugin managers. If you are using one you can configure it to automatically download and install {ColorSchemer}. After unpacking the ColorSchemer directory layout should look like:     $HOME/.vim/       autoload/         colorschemer/           distill.vim             " generate distilled color scheme files           util.vim           viewer.vim             " view test files with their syntax allowing for             " very quick toggling through color schemes       data/         " data that persists between invocations of a plugin         colorschemer/             " colorschemer data             colors/               " source Vim color scheme files (some 688 of them!)             distilled/               " target directory for files generated by distill.vim             distilled.cterm/               " generated using distill.vim in Vim               " optional part of the colorschemer_cterm.zip             distilled.gui/               " generated using distill.vim in GVim               " optional part of the colorschemer_gui.zip             test/               " test source files (c, pl, java, scala, tex, html)               " users can add addition ones       doc/         colorschemer.txt       plugin/         colorschemer.vim Intalling with vim-addon-manager (VAM) For more information about vim-addon-manager, see [vim-addon-manager](https://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-manager) and [Vim-addon-manager getting started](https://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-manager/blob/master/doc/vim-addon-manager-getting-started.txt) In your .vimrc, add self as shown below:     fun SetupVAM()       ...       let g:vim_addon_manager = {}       let g:vim_addon_manager.plugin_sources = {}       ....       let g:vim_addon_manager.plugin_sources['self'] = {'type': 'git', 'url': 'git://github.com/megaannum/self'}       let g:vim_addon_manager.plugin_sources['forms'] = {'type': 'git', 'url': 'git://github.com/megaannum/forms'}       let g:vim_addon_manager.plugin_sources['colorschemer'] = {'type': 'git', 'url': 'git://github.com/megaannum/colorschemer'}       let plugins = [         \ 'self',         \ 'forms',         \ 'colorschemer'         \ ]       call vam#ActivateAddons(plugins,{'auto_install' : 0})       ...     endf     call SetupVAM() Now start Vim. You will be asked by vim-addon-manager if you would like to download and install the self plugin (no dependencies). Installing with pathogen: I do not use pathogen. An example usage would be welcome.
