Very cool. I'd love to see the ability to tag and filter 256-color schemes, for `TERM="xterm-256color"`. And some ranking metric (e.g. stars on the GitHub repo) would help surface the good ones that a lot of people use. Personally I use a slightly tweaked version of http://vimcolors.com/1/jellybeans/dark … the id of 1 in the URL suggests the author might too.
I find myself often switching between dark/light colorschemes when I'm working inside/outside. However, this is a quite annoying task, I have to change the colorscheme of my terminal, and of Vim. Besides, I have multiple Vim sessions running in various tmux/terminal tabs, so when I switch to a different tab, I have to change the colorscheme of Vim again. Then when I go inside/outside again I have to switch it all bac…

Unpleasantly spare? http://take.ms/k83XH
OMG! How do I do that? Mind sharing your configuration?
unlike most of the people, I prefer light background instead of dark (black) background. anyone else feel the same? and most of the themes are with black background

I’m just inverting the screen (built-in accessibility feature in OS X, there probably are alternatives on other platforms). Vim and the terminal are set to a light scheme, one of the standard ones. When I switch to terminal screen and it’s low light, I hit a key combo and it inverts everything. Does the job for me.
If you have access to an OS X environment, you can try out "invert colors" at System Preferences > Accessibility > Display. iOS has it, too.

Except a text editor can also generate the AST.
What I meant was that the limitation in highlighting is usually due to the limitation in pattern matching. Of course, IDEs usually contain text editors, and they often do highlight using an AST. But that's expensive, both to develop and to run, and especially if you're not going to use the AST for any other IDE-like activity. Pattern-matching is cheap and usually good enough.
And just to make sure, we agree that adding a feature like AST based highlighting wouldn't make an editor an IDE, right?

I do this, too, and it works very well. Specifically, almost everything on my screen is very light-colored (exception: when I am recreating rather than working) and then when I am working at night I use OS X to "invert" all the colors on the screen, with the result that the color 0x000000 becomes 0xFFFFFF, 0x000001 becomes 0xFFFFFE, etc. If you have access to an OS X environment, you can try out "invert colors" at Sy…
As a related tip, on iOS you can have a home button triple-press shortcut which you can assign inverted colors or grayscale, or both. Was stoked when discovered that.

Okay, you are not talking about a problem in principle but how it practically is in reality. I don't know if text editors like Sublime/Atom also have that problem but when it comes to vim I can agree with that. Wouldn't wonder if there are some better external highlighters that can be integrated with vim. I heard that people use a vim plugin for using external linters for static analysis of code and spell checking. A…
