Got ideas from following tips and scripts vimtip #341, vimtip #358, vimscript #668, vimscript #109 Usage: When this script is loaded, it will populate an array with each of color scheme's file path.  You can then load different color schemes using NextColorScheme(), PreviousColorScheme() or RandomColorScheme(). Or if you don't like current color scheme you can call RemoveCurrentColorScheme() to remove the file. There are 4 main functions    1. You can either call them directly       :call NextColorScheme()       :call PreviousColorScheme()       :call RandomColorScheme()       :call RemoveCurrentColorScheme()    2. You can map and save them in your [._]gvimrc.       map <F4>   :call NextColorScheme()<CR>       map <S-F4> :call PreviousColorScheme()<CR>       map <C-F4> :call RandomColorScheme()<CR>       map <F3>   :call RemoveCurrentColorScheme()<CR>    3. You can also start each vim session with random color scheme by       adding following line in your [._]gvimrc       call RandomColorScheme() Tip: You can change your rulerformat in your [._]vimrc to display the name of current color scheme on status line. First, add this line to display status information      set ruler And add %{g:colors_name} in rulerformat to display name of current color   scheme. For example,      set rulerformat=%55(:%{g:colors_name}:\ %5l,%-6(%c%V%)\ %P%) However, you will see an error message if you didn't load color scheme at startup. So you might want to add %{GetColorSyntaxName()} instead.      set rulerformat=%55(:%{GetColorSyntaxName()}:\ %5l,%-6(%c%V%)\ %P%) GetColorSyntaxName() function is included in this script. It returns the value of g:colors_name if it exists, otherwise an empty string. If you are using a console version, then you might have to copy GetColorSyntaxName() into .vimrc, because I think the plugin files get loaded after evaluating .vimrc.
