How to find the perfect vim theme
Raw
gistfile1.txt
Quick tips for finding the perfect theme for vim.
1. Install flazz/vim-colorschemes plugin (480+ themes)
You can see previews here: http://vimcolorschemetest.googlecode.com/svn/html/index-html.html
Too many for me to look through...plus, how does it look with my code?
2. Set your colorscheme to random
:colorscheme random
This will choose a theme randomly.
Cycle through the themes until you find one you like
:@:
3. Once you find one you like, grab the current color scheme
:echo g:color_scheme
4. Add the theme name to your .vimrc
