vim-colors-off
For a number of weeks, I ran vim with syntax off. It was quite nice,
with only two annoyances:
- Bright white on jet black was a bit off-putting.
- There were cases when I did miss the lack of color, vimdiff for example.
Therefore, I aimed to find or create a colorscheme to solve these two issues.
The result is very much based on the pencil colorscheme, which is surprising because it's a very colorful colorscheme, but:
- It uses a very sane approach to defining and setting colors
- It has nice background and foreground colors
- In the areas where I do want color, I like how it colors things
Installation
- Use your preferred plugin manager
- Add "pbrisbin/vim-colors-off" as a plugin
Usage
:colorscheme off
Supports both background=light and background=dark.
Options
g:colors_off_a_little: Set to1to bring back a little color, here and there. Default0.
Trouble-shooting
Plugin fails to update: we recently switched our default branch; this can confuse some existing checkouts. The solution is to remove and re-add the plugin. How do to that depends on the plugin manager you use.
