Awesome
A dark color scheme for Vim/Neovim based off the Material Pale Night color scheme. Much of the work is based on the lovely onedark.vim color scheme.
Installation
Using vim-plug (modify this to work with your Vim package manager of choice):
Plug 'drewtempelmeyer/palenight.vim'
Usage
In your wonderfully organized Vim (~/.vimrc) or Neovim (.config/nvim/init.vim) configuration, place the following two lines:
set background=dark
colorscheme palenight
To configure lightline, add the following line:
let g:lightline = { 'colorscheme': 'palenight' }
To configure airline, add the following line:
let g:airline_theme = "palenight"
True Colors
To provide the best user experience possible, I recommend enabling true colors. To experience the blissfulness of your editor's true colors, place this in your .vimrc or ~/.config/nvim/init.vim file:
if (has("nvim"))
"For Neovim 0.1.3 and 0.1.4 < https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/2198 >
let $NVIM_TUI_ENABLE_TRUE_COLOR=1
endif
"For Neovim > 0.1.5 and Vim > patch 7.4.1799 < https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/61be73bb0f965a895bfb064ea3e55476ac175162 >
"Based on Vim patch 7.4.1770 (`guicolors` option) < https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/8a633e3427b47286869aa4b96f2bfc1fe65b25cd >
" < https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Following-HEAD#20160511 >
if (has("termguicolors"))
set termguicolors
endif
Italics
Italics are a fantastic way to improve the appearance of your code. Italics will do what they can, but, as they say, "you can't polish a 💩." (Although MythBusters busted this). Digressing here, so place this into your config:
" Italics for my favorite color scheme
let g:palenight_terminal_italics=1
Overriding Colors
Overriding palenight's colors are supported through setting the
g:palenight_color_overrides variable. See palenight.vim
for a list of colors that may be overriden. You must provide gui, cterm,
and cterm16 values for each.
Example: Overriding the background color to pure black
let g:palenight_color_overrides = {
\ 'black': { 'gui': '#000000', "cterm": "0", "cterm16": "0" },
