Spacegray is a colorscheme for Vim loosely modeled after the spacegray theme for Xcode.
You can tweak Spacegray by enabling the following disabled options:
- Underlined Search: Underline search text instead of using highlight color.
Put the following in your
~/.vimrcto enable it:
let g:spacegray_underline_search = 1
- Use Italics: Use italics when appropriate, e.g. for comments. (note:
terminal must support italics). Put the following in your
~/.vimrcto enable it:
let g:spacegray_use_italics = 1
- Use lower contrast: Use a low contrast variant of Spacegray. Put the
following in your
~/.vimrcto enable it:
let g:spacegray_low_contrast = 1
If you use Vim 8 or better, simply copy and paste:
git clone git://github.com/ajh17/Spacegray.vim ~/.vim/pack/vendor/start/Spacegray
Then in your ~/.vimrc, add this line:
colorscheme spacegray
If you use Spacegray inside a Terminal, please make sure you use a Terminal
with 256 color support. Most these days are. Ensure that the default TERM
contains the string 256color. An example would be xterm-256color or
if using tmux or screen, screen-256color.
NOTE: If you use Vim 7.4.1778 or higher, you can now use Spacegray's GUI colors
inside terminal Vim as long as your terminal supports true colors (24-bit
colors). To enable this, put :set termguicolors and ignore the rest of the
terminal color sections of this document.
Spacegray will look good in a dark terminal colorscheme, but if you use Spacegray's color palette, it will look beautiful.
On OS X, colorschemes for iTerm2 and Terminal.app are provided with the download. Simply double click to install.
Spacegray.terminator is provided for Terminator and can be installed by
copying to ~/.config/terminator/config on Linux or
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/terminator/config if you're running OS X.
For gnome terminal, you can configure the terminal with the following set of gsettings commands:
profile_key=$(gsettings get org.gnome.Terminal.ProfilesList default | sed -e "s/'//g" | tr -d "\n")
gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Profile:/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$profile_key/ visible-name "'Spacegray'"
gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Profile:/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$profile_key/ background-color "'rgb(17,19,20)'"
gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Profile:/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$profile_key/ foreground-color "'rgb(183,187,183)'"
gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Profile:/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$profile_key/ use-theme-colors "false"
gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Profile:/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$profile_key/ palette "['rgb(44,47,51)', 'rgb(176,76,80)', 'rgb(145,150,82)', 'rgb(226,153,92)', 'rgb(102,137,157)', 'rgb(141,100,148)', 'rgb(82,124,119)', 'rgb(96,99,96)', 'rgb(75,80,86)', 'rgb(176,76,80)', 'rgb(148,152,91)', 'rgb(226,153,92)', 'rgb(102,137,157)', 'rgb(141,100,148)', 'rgb(82,124,119)', 'rgb(221,227,220)']"
gnome-terminal should then immediately reflect Spacegray colors.
