Dim
Dim (/dɪm/; a contraction of Default IMproved) is a clone of Vim’s default colorscheme, with some improvements:
- It only uses ANSI colors, so you can assign colors in your terminal emulator yourself
- Syntax highlighting is consistent on light and dark backgrounds
Dim comes with Grim: a monochrome version that limits syntax coloring to grayscales.
Installation
git clone --branch 1.x git@github.com:jeffkreeftmeijer/vim-dim.git ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/vim-dim
After installing, set your :colorscheme to dim or grim.
" ~/.vimrc
colorscheme dim
Pessimistic versioning branches
Dim adheres to semantic versioning, meaning it'll try to keep backwards compatibility in minor and patch releases. In short:
- A breaking change will bump the major version number (1.0.0 -> 2.0.0)
- An added feature will bump the minor version number (1.0.0 -> 1.1.0)
- A bug fix will bump the patch version number (1.0.0 -> 1.0.1)
Since Vim's plugin manager doesn't allow specifying version ranges, Dim provides "pessimistic versioning branches" itself to allow users to lock to a specific version range:
- The branch named
1.xis updated for every released version in the 1.x range (~> 1.0or>= 1.0.0 and < 2.0.0) - The branch named
1.1is updated for every released version in the 1.1.x range (~> 1.1.0or>= 1.1.0 and < 1.2.0)
To install the latest version in the 1.x range, clone Dim's 1.x branch:
git clone --branch 1.x git@github.com:jeffkreeftmeijer/vim-dim.git ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/vim-dim
When updating through git pull later, Dim will be updated to any new version,
but not to 2.x.
