Title: What VIM colorscheme do you use?
Post by: glo on Thu, 22 July 2010, 08:44:15

For the ones who code in VIM, what colorschemes do you prefer?
I mainly use two:
oceanblack for a dark background
taqua for a light background

I use my own colorschemes. Dark background for the terminal:

If I'm using MacVim/GVim and I feel like using a light background, I use vylight (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2589) (also my own). I posted about it here (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=5559).

the default (dark) one. reason is I spend so much time daisy chained onto several different (hundreds) of servers that it is really pointless to pick a theme for my local machine only to have to deal with another one elsewhere.
It would be an awesome idea to roll that Inkpot scheme into our deployment though ...

Mine is just the worst thing I have ever seen. It is overly cluttered with annoying GUI elements, the interface is getting in the way of the text. However, it clearly demonstrates my worthlessness here. I just like to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that I really am a tool, and know **** all about anything of any importance whatsoever.

I agree with that statement until the stupid bar on the right side is closed.

After that, it's a great GUI. Just don't try to use the WYSIWYG part or nothing will work properly in any browser except IE6...

I find TUI editing to be quite frustrating so vi, derivatives and similar make me crazy. Notepad++ for me.

Text editing is pretty simple at its core. You need to be able to:

Open or create a file
Move the cursor to different parts of the document
Type something in
Save a file

You access the new, open, save actions from a menu (or shortcut key). The keyboard and mouse allow you to move the cursor around, and the keyboard takes care of entering text in. Therefore most text editors only need simple GUIs.

A quick look at Textmate or MacVim won't tell you much about either. You may not even be able to tell them apart just by glancing at each for a few seconds.

Both are considered best of breed editors, yet look deceptively simple. Textmate IS simple to get into. Vim has a higher learning curve because of its modal nature.

Pretty sure I used inkpot and zenburn at one point. For the longest while I used a custom terminal colour scheme (which worked great with vim).

Hmm. You're a Mac user. Guess you got plenty of color schemes to choose from.

heh people use IE on newer macs?  I only use it on my old ones because it works better with some pages than Netscape does.

I remember when those iMac's were new, but I never thought you all on Geekhack would consider them to be new.

Back on topic, I have to use the stock colour scheme.

One of the downsides to using an assload of machines. I did try some of the others, and they did look sexier and make life easier, but I gave up trying to keep all of the machines the same.

What I do when faced with this situation is to theme the terminal colours on my client computers. I can't stand the default colour scheme. I like muted themes that use few colours. Too many colours and I lose the benefit of syntax highlighting. If everything looks different, then nothing is highlighted.

One more zenburn user here.

Edit: I'm using the Inconsolata font, which I don't really like. Any suggestions for good programming fonts ? Which one is it in Moparx's screenshot ?

It all depends on:

a) how long/ how much work you have to do

b) language

c) type of application/style of writing (a lot of different/complex data structures, classes etc)


Either way, it CAN get nasty and IF I did a large amount of work instead of just banging out quick scripts, I would care more.

In order from least to most NASTY (using VIM in default colour scheme), the three languages (scripting, primarily) I have to deal with are:

3) Python

2) bash

1) perl

The complete inverse will give you my preference of which to work in (and you can basically drop perl from the list entirely ;))

Agreed. I'm a programmer, so I care about a). I also work on less than 10 different boxes on a regular basis. Keeping my dotfiles in sync is still doable. Having them in a source code repo helps too.

White on blue, or white of black....
