For example in Portugal in the afternoon the sun is so strong that it is not easy at all to use dark background (yes, even in winter), and I have to switch to light color theme. When there direct sun, I prefer to use dark backgrounds though. For this I designed a color scheme: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3739 which has a command :BlueSky to switch from light to dark and vice versa. I mainly edit LaTeX files, VimL and rarely some Python scripts so it should work fine with the corresponding syntax. Best, Marcin -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist.

This is slightly off topic, but I inverse the colours of _everything_. So that I get light text on dark background _everywhere_ not just in Vim. My eyes are over sensitive to light so If I didn't do this I wouldn't be able to work for long without getting something called an eye migraine (no head aches but weird visual effects and temporary loss of vision).

It would be best if you share a link to snapshots. I've used many in the past and have liked them all depending on my mood at the time. Currently I'm using a slightly tweaked coffee scheme, but I've also customized and used the following, mostly from vim.org or the official runtime: navajo pablo gardener (I like that this one has console colors too) ir_black (http://blog.toddwerth.com/entries/8) peaksea phd (this is one of my favorites at any time) moria (with bg=light, this is really good for printing after running through TOhtml first) See http://code.google.com/p/vimcolorschemetest/ for a preview of most of these. Most of my tweaks are for things missing, like the new(ish) ColorColumn, or better contrast for groups I have trouble distinguishing (I'm red-green color blind), or for better diff highlighting. -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist.

It would be best if you share a link to snapshots. I like a very simple scheme that uses only a few colors and a light background. I usually run vim in a 256-color terminal emulator (roxterm), on Debian Linux, and let vim inherit most of its colorscheme from the preferences I've set at that level. Background, a slightly tone-downed white: #FDFAF0 (set as ctermfg=7 in my vimrc) Text, black with just a hint of blue-green: #002B36 (set as ctermfg=8 in my vimrc) Comments, a light gray, so they standout less than the text: ctermfg=248 CursorLine and CursorColumn are set to ctermfg=none and ctermbg=229, to highlight the current line with a pale yellow background. StatusLine is set to ctermfg=0 and ctermbg=250, for black text on a light gray background. Error is set to ctermfg=red and ctermbg=7. And that's it. I don't use syntax coloring for anything else, having finally decided that it's more annoying than it is useful. (But that's just my opinion. Your mileage may vary.) -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.

Re: What's your favorite color scheme?
Please share your the name of your favorite color scheme . Concerning colour schemes: 0. I regret to say that I don't know of any online and worth mentioning publication that can be used as a guide or reference on this topic (although I did some searching). Has any of you guys been more successful than I was in this? If so, please share a link. 1. I strongly believe that, in general, a dark background reduces the eye strain. 2. A sufficiently good contrast and (syntax) colour differentiation (where applicable) are my second strongest requirement. 3. In the old MSDOS times, most text editors I knew of (e.g. PE and PE2, E and E3, Turbo) had white letters on blue background preconfigured. There must have been a good reason behind that choice that has to do with user experience. With those later MSDOS editors, such as KEDIT and THE, that let me configure them myself, I kept using white on blue. 4. When I moved to Vim, I started using the blue standard colour scheme. At some point, I did a redesign of it that I called clue -- it is what I use now, and is available as Vim script 2359. -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist. Do not top-post!
