calm.vim

A pink, calm, and focused vim colorscheme.

Heavily influenced by vim-sunbather. I loved vim-sunbather, but I wanted to modify it quite a bit, and I found the source too complicated for me, so I ended up forking it, and then I ended up writing a new theme from scratch.

Syntax for customizing calm.vim

You an customize this theme's variables by adding one or more of the customizable variables before your colorscheme declaration in your ~/.vimrc:

let <variable name> = '<your_color>'
let <variable name> = '<your_color>'
...
colorscheme calm

For example, to change the main color from pink to orange, add the following to your ~/.vimrc:

let g:constants_n_stuff = '208'
colorscheme calm

Refer to Customizable variables for a full list of variables you can customize.

Customizing elements

unfortunately, i don't have the energy to keep an updated list of what interface element each variable colors, so you'll have to dig around colors/calm.vim.

For a full list of variables that you can customize, refer to the following list:

• g:constants_n_stuff
• g:words_n_shit
• g:non_code_color
• g:ui_dark_color
• g:ui_very_dark_color
• g:ui_light_color
• g:ui_very_light_color

Notes:

• To enable the status bar, type :set laststatus=2. For more information, type :help laststatus.
• To enable the text width indicator, type :set colorcolumn=+1. For more information, type :help colorcolumn. If you don't see a vertical line that displays the maximum width text should wrap at, then you can type :set textwidth=N, where you must replace N with the maximum lenght of characters you want vim to wrap text at.
• Spelling highlights do not display unless you type :set spell.
