description
This package is simply to help people who want to try out a lot of color schemes. It is the top 100 rated color schemes on vim.sf.net as of Jan 20th, 2010 that are are not "evil" (binding keys, changing fonts, etc) -- zipped up in a single package. Every single theme was updated to its newest revision, and converted to unix formatted line endings. Check out a demo of these themes at: http://www.vi-improved.org/color_sampler_pack/ The menu has been simplified based on feedback to simply three categories. Dark / Light / Other. This package was put together simply to save others time in downloading the color schemes. If you are a scheme author and for some reason do not want your scheme included, please simply drop me a note. iam -at- robertmelton.com Now, the pack comes with an organized GUI menu, but no tool for console users. I recommend you pick up http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1488 which is a colorscheme scroller / chooser and browser. Many of these schemes are Gvim only, and do not support consoles well... but there is a plugin to allow Gvim only themes to work in 88/256 color terminals -> http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2390. Love it or Hate it -- Rate it. :)
install details
Simply unzip, and place the files in ~/.vim/plugin and ~/.vim/colors --- it will unzip with correct dir structure, so you can just unzip to ~/.vim Hope this helps you... join #vim on irc.freenode.net for all your vim help needs :)
