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/

Thanks for the kind words about molokai; took a bit to get it ported, but I've enjoyed it a lot since then. 99% of the props should go to the original authors of monokai and Hamish, though :) Molokai ain't perfect, but I have yet to find one I like more for daily use.

Thanks for the port Tomas - been enjoying it for several years. Always leaves a 'mark' when people see it for the first time.

Is anybody willing to explain how to switch between light and dark? I can't seem to understand the scss snippet that he gives. Apparently, you only have to switch 4 colors, It would be nice to know what those colors were.

I'll be expanding the webpage to detail that, but essentially:

base03 = background base02 = background highlight base01 = background data (comments, etc.) base0 = normal text

The scheme was designed to allow for: base1 = optional bold/emphasis

Just swap the zeros (initially I was using minus/plus, e.g. base-1 and base+1 but this isn't usable across all apps) to swap dark and light modes. There is a good example of this in the vim script as well as the sass snippet (and the mutt compile script if you are a glutton for ugly bash scripts).

base3 = light background base2 = dark background etc.

You shouldn't need to do any of this manually, however. The vim script has a light/dark mode built in and where there isn't a way to toggle modes I am distributing light and dark versions (the terminal color schemes).

I also love thayer for iterm2. Here's the github repo for those schemes:

The 64-bit TerminalColours SIMBL plugin that's linked to in the README doesn't play nicely with binaryage's 64-bit Visor plugin, for some reason. However, Evan Phoenix's fork[1] works perfectly for me.

Thanks! I coulden't find a light version of the Xresources script though, that's why I was wondering about switching.
