TextMate/Emacs/Vim color theme generator
- whalesalad 17y agoWow I randomly jumped to this scheme, which is actually a fairly popular [Textmate] theme known as Argonaut - http://inspiration.sweyla.com/code/seed/951824/ http://inspiration.sweyla.com/code/seed/951824/ I guess it's not entirely random, but just has a big db of popular schemes?
- rcfox 17y agoFrom the author's website: it uses an algorithm to randomly generate pleasing colour schemes.
- Sweyla 17y agoThis is correct, well investigated!
- madssj 17y agoCare to share the source?
- Xichekolas 17y agoCan you put the theme permalink in the generated theme files as a comment? Seems like it might be handy to have someday.
- qjz 17y agoI'd love to see the example displayed in vimdiff format. Many good looking themes become unusable when vimdiff highlighting is applied.
- pyre 17y agoSeconded. The same thing also applies to folds in vim, and sometimes to gutters and things like NERDTree or ctags scripts. It's really frustrating to have a great theme that in certain edge cases applies black text on a black background or (more commonly) white text on a light gray background.
- mapleoin 17y agoI've never understood people who use bright green on a black background or anything with that much contrast. It feels polluting to my eyes, like radioactive waste.
- Periodic 17y agoHigh contrast should be reserved for important items. That way they can have higher contrast than the surrounding text and stand out more. I've seen a few people who program with just flat green on black. No syntax highlighting. I cry a little inside.
- pyre 17y agoHow is that different from flat white on black with no syntax highlighting?
- duck 17y agoGreat idea! It would be cool if you could 'lock' a color for a particular item (like the bg or strings) and then continue to look at other themes.
- billturner 17y agoThis would be a nice feature. I spent a few minutes refreshing and hoping to find one I liked, but none really stuck with me. If I could freeze the color of keywords, refresh, lock another color, etc etc, that would make it much more useful.
- yesimahuman 17y agoThe themes definitely don't look the same in gvim as they do on the page. Hope that changes soon, cause this is awesome.
- billybob 17y agoThe shade of dark blue they use also appears in my .vim setup. Does anybody else find that difficult to read? Also, is there a way to tweak the colors - by giving hex codes, for example?
- burke 17y agoHere's a little snippet of elisp to automatically download and apply a random dark theme: http://gist.github.com/341879 http://gist.github.com/341879
- ivankirigin 17y agoAnyone know of a way to get a textmate theme into vim easily?
