color scheme

description

Source repo: http://github.com/rking/vim-detailed So many 256-color schemes merely shift the palette around, displaying only 8 colors (even though they're a *different* set of 8 colors than default). This scheme is more detailed than that. Your eyes will learn to pick up on subtler patterns without requiring as much from your conscious mind.  Instead of the goal being merely looking cool, the goal is to maximize info bandwidth from the computer to the brain. The regexes, for example, are much easier to pick out. The overall feel of a given file becomes much more intuitively recognizeable (you'll know you're in foo.rb, not bar.rb, without having to read any text). Certain bits will "pop" into being the right colors, such as the difference between "RUBY_VERISON" and "RUBY_VERSION", or # encoding: utf-8 // 256 Color Requirement If you aren't getting 256 colors, you aren't getting detailed.vim. Typically, you'll have to make sure your `$TERM` variable is set right. This can get un-set by some programs, such as tmux. So you can force it to something like:     export TERM=screen-256color     # or:     export TERM=xterm-256color If these are unavailable on the target system, you might have to place a terminfo file in `~/.terminfo/`  -or- you can be totally gross and force it with `:set &t_Co=256` in vim. But don't be gross. It's uncouth. // Download If using Pathogen,      cd ~/.vim/bundle && git clone https://github.com/rking/vim-detailed If using no vim plugin manager:      mkdir -p ~/.vim/colors/ && cd $_ && wget https://raw.github.com/rking/vim-detailed/master/colors/detailed.vim // Setup In your ~/.vimrc (or ~/.vim/plugin/colorscheme.vim if you like to organize):     colo detailed This enables it globally.
