I love lettuce.vim: http://i.imgur.com/67LH9.png

You can download it here: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1975

Make sure to enable 256 colors.

I cannot seem to get the colors to render properly on Snow Leopard, using Terminal.app, and vim. Anyone else have any trouble but get it to work?

I installed the thing as instructed. I installed SIMBL and the SIMBL plugin, installed Solarized Dark Terminal.app theme, installed vim using pathogen, and set .vimrc with the additional g:solorized_termcolors=16 option.

is there a reason why most of these color schemes (including solarized), have a very low contrast for comments - making them difficult to read. I personally use the desert colorcheme ( http://hans.fugal.net/vim/colors/desert.html )

Perhaps to make them "stand-out" less (so they don't distract you when you're skimming the code).

Someone started porting it to Emacs: https://github.com/sellout/solarized/tree/master/emacs-color...

Another porting it to Konsole.

Go to Applications > Utilities, right-click on Terminal.app and set 32-bit mode. Hope that helps!

I love the effort put into this, but somehow the background is way too light for my taste, in vim the colorscheme is kind of bland.

I haven't looked into how one can export gnome-terminal color palettes yet, but if anyone else is interested, I think these are the correct settings in gconf:

    /apps/gnome-terminal/palette: #070736364242:#D3D336368282:#B5B589890000:#CBCB4B4B1616:#2A2AA1A19898:#6C6C7171C4C4:#858599990000:#EEEEE8E8D5D5:#00002B2B3636:#D3D301010202:#58586E6E7575:#65657B7B8383:#838394949696:#26268B8BD2D2:#9393A1A1A1A1:#FDFDF6F6E3E3
    /apps/gnome-terminal/background_color: #00002B2B3636
    /apps/gnome-terminal/foreground_color: #65657B7B8383

Edit: Ok, I pulled down the source for gnome-terminal since I couldn't find a way to export/import color schemes. The color palettes are all hard-coded, so that is unfortunate :(.

I don't know about the rest of you, but my eyes literally started to hurt when I read the text on that page, presumably because of the color of the text v. background. Doesn't bode well for using it in vim... Maybe it looks better on a different monitor? (I have a Samsung LCD.)

What browser are you using? It looks great to me here in Chrome and Safari.

Anyone get a chance to test out how this looks with vimdiff? That's one area that usually ends up looking fugly b/c the theme creator neglected to look at it. Other areas that are typically neglected (though not in this case): code folding, split buffer dividers.
