You may need to enable ClearType. If on Windows XP. Display Properties > Appearance > Effects

I'm on Mac OSX; is there an equivalent?

For Snow Leopard: Open System Preferences, go to Appearance, and uncheck "Use LCD font smoothing when available"

Please share your favorite color scheme(s) ! My favorite for gvim/MacVim is molokai: http://winterdom.com/2008/08/molokaiforvim , seconded by vividchalk when i'm on the terminal: https://github.com/tpope/vim-vividchalk Haven't found any good color scheme for iterm2 yet. Currently i'm using thayer: http://ecto-plazm.deviantart.com/gallery/

I use brookstream [1]. It's dark, somewhat low-contrast, with shades of blue and purple.

I'm using a modified xoria256 in console vim. I gave it a darker background and added some missing colors.

Fantastic work. If I happen upon some spare time I'll try and port it for TextMate users.

Please do, I'd really appreciate it.

I've got a start going in https://github.com/markstory/solarized

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).

this is interesting - colorscheme as a reflection of programming philosophy.

I actually tend to read (and write) comments a LOT. Which is why, I simply am not able to use any colorscheme that tries to hide comments.

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.

Here's a vimdiff sample from the rvm repo...

Great work, Mark! I see you're progressing well with the TextMate themes.

A bit too much color according to my taste - I like a more subdued color scheme, as seen in http://www.michielovertoom.com/pictures/kwrite-textanalyse.p... (All black on lightgray, strings dark gray, and prussian blue comments).

A norwegian file! Tekstanalyse. Why are the comments in Dutch?

I wrote my own scheme: https://github.com/strange/dotfiles/blob/master/.vim/colors/... Python: http://files.pipsq.com/strange/python.png Erlang: http://files.pipsq.com/strange/erlang.png

Those are both really nice. I'm finding after a year or so of IR_Black I'm wanting a change.

What's your terminal setup like?
