me: Hi everyone, my name is Franco and I'm addicted to colorschemes

everyone else: Hi Franco

one stop shop for vim colorschemes.

this was [originally] harvested from vim.org. only colorschemes downloaded in a single .vim file are included.

for hacking on vim.org harvesting see the branch prep.

• honor system is in effect!
• new schemes are welcome!
• upstream updates are accepted!
• non-upstream updates are accepted as derivitive schemes: pick a new filename; cite the original!
• housekeeping updates are accepted too!

Basic install - very simple (*nix or cygwin install)

mkdir ~/.vim
git clone https://github.com/flazz/vim-colorschemes.git ~/.vim

if you use vim + pathogen

git submodule add https://github.com/flazz/vim-colorschemes.git ~/.vim/bundle/colorschemes

if you use vim + vundle

" add to .vimrc
Plugin 'flazz/vim-colorschemes'
:PluginInstall

if you aren't so clever just get all the files in colors/*.vim into ~/.vim/colors

# after downloading; unpacking; cd'ing
cp colors/* ~/.vim/colors

To change the colorscheme of Vim, add to your .vimrc:

colorscheme nameofcolorscheme

For example, to change the color scheme to wombat:

colorscheme wombat

To change to Molokai:

colorscheme molokai

Inside Vim, you use:

:colorscheme molokai

There are quite a few colorschemes in this. To preview them on your live code inside of Vim, checkout this page from the vim wikia and this repo for easy installation.

fork this repo; send a pull request!; I'll take it!

I'm a slave to aesthetics. If you are too, I hope this helps.
