[SOLVED] Vim color scheme

Hello! This is my first post and I'm new with Archlinux, sorry if this trouble is very simple but I'm a newbie...
The question... Vim color scheme only works fine when I use sudo or when I'm root...
I've put the color scheme in /usr/share/vim/vim73/colors and in ~/.vim/colors, and I've configured /etc/vimrc and ~/.vimrc
I don't know what's wrong...
Correct color scheme (with sudo):
Wrong color scheme (normal user):
Thank you very much!!

Hi again!

There's your problem. xterm (as indicated by tput) only supports 8 colours.
If you're using Konsole, check the configuration and change the session to xterm-256color. Alternatively can set the environment variable within your ~/.bashrc file like so: export TERM=xterm-256color
It works! Thank you very much and sorry for the inconveniece

[solved] vim color scheme not working in urxvt/screen

i'm using the 256 color scheme inkblot in vim. It works great in urxvt alone. But the background is messed up in screen. Screen is able to display 256 colors.
Basically, the background it is supposed to set ends up being set for every line in which there is no text, while the lines that have text have an all black background. This doesn't happen outside of screen or in other 256 color enabled terminals.
This happens with every theme that sets a background (or more specifically an off-black/dark-grey background.. i haven't tried a theme that tries another color background).
Last edited by scv5 (2009-06-20 20:15:35)

add "term screen-256color" to your .screenrc, that's the cleanest approach
That probably won't be enough for urxvt, see this thread for more information http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50647

Light Terminal Color-Scheme?

I've been using a dark zenburn-like color-scheme for ages, but now, it looks a bit disintegrated with my light gtk/wm-theme.
I didn't see anyone using a bright terminal/vim color-scheme.
Is someone using a brighter color-scheme and can someone recommend me one? There is a huge colorscheme-test page for vim color-schemes but there isn't something for terminal schemes.

For sure. It's my first experiment of "colors by combination". It is not perfect but more of "the first breed of an exploration".
!lightmonad: 3C3 = 6 combinations
*background: #fcffdd
*foreground: #5e5e58
*cursorColor: #5e5e58
*color0: #666666
*color1: #ba3e73

[SOLVED] vim can't use colorscheme from ~/.vim/colors

Hello
I wanted to use the Molokai Theme for vim. So I downloaded molokai.vim from http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2340 Copied it to ~/.vim/colors folder. In vim I enter :colorscheme molokai.vim but it can't find it.
Also install molokai-vim from AUR but still. E185: Cannot find color scheme 'molokai.vim'
Any thoughts?
Last edited by blackout23 (2013-04-01 08:15:38)

I'm sure I tried it with and without extension and it didn't work.
However after creating a .vimrc (didn't have one before) according to this:
http://dthettich.tumblr.com/post/131989 … rc-molokai
It worked.
@WonderWoofy
The AUR package installed it into that directory.
Thanks to all!

Terminal colors vs Vim colors [SOLVED]

Hey guys!
I've been using vim since the very first day I started learning programming, and am now using it on my brand new arch system. Everything works really well so far, but I'm having a bit of trouble customizing colors. I wouldn't normally make a big deal out of it, but since I'm going to spend an enormous amount of hours using it for school and personnal projects, I'd really like to get all my colors right. I'm using an urxvt terminal, under awesome wm.
Here are my 16 terminal colors:
http://tinypic.com/r/2yper6b/5
Here is what my vim loks like:
http://tinypic.com/r/s1547k/5
As you can see, vim uses a crap-looking, brownish-red color for line numbers and html tags. This color is not in any of the 16 I specified in .Xresources. I don't know where it comes from, but I would like for vim to use only these 16 colors. Is that possible? I assume it is, because most of my vim colors are changed whenever I edit them in .Xresources.
If not, I'd like to know how I can edit the colors vim uses myself. Thank you for reading!
Last edited by PolyBender (2013-05-12 00:35:41)

You select a colorscheme (:help colorscheme) in your vimrc. The themes can use 256 colors, which I find nice once I customized the theme/scheme. But if you want to limit it to 16, just `set t_Co=16` in your vimrc.

Back up color scheme in KDE4 [SOLVED]

Hello,
What config files might I back up to easily return to my custom color scheme in case I need to reinstall. I could, of course, just write down every html notation number, but I thought there might be a config file that would make backing it up a bit easier.
Thanks--
Last edited by darkwillow (2010-03-17 01:14:25)

if you saved a color scheme through the settings, on vanilla kde4
~/.kde4/share/apps/color-schemes/
you should see something like MyColors.color (*.color files are any ones you've changed or saved)
i'm guessing .kdemod4 for kdemod

Change color scheme of Terminal in XFCE4 ? *SOLVED*

The default install of XFCE4 has a terminal with black text on white background. I find it a bit too bright, and its not as easy on the eyes as white text on black bg. When I used to use KDE, the terminal came with 'themes', one of them being 'linux colors', which I have gotten used to.
Is there any config file I can edit / menu option to change to alter the color scheme of the XFCE4 terminal?
(I tried xfce4rc and menu.xml, but couldn't find anything regarding color schemes in there)
Thanks in advance.

[SOLVED] `Vim/Gvim: set mouse=a works only in Gvim?

I'm diving into the world of (g)vim this weekend and although I'm starting to get the hang of things, I seem to be having a problem with the mouse functionality. I have set mouse=a specified in my .vimrc and gvim respects it, but when I run vi in a terminal session (urxvt) I have to explicitly type :set mouse=a in ex mode before it will work. Am I missing something?
Here's what I've got in my .vimrc (linked also ~/.gvimrc) so far:
" (G)vim settings
set nocompatible " use gVim defaults
colorscheme wombat " define syntax color scheme
syntax on " enable syntax highlighting
set mouse=a " make sure mouse is used in all cases.
set backspace=2 " full backspacing capabilities
set nocindent " set C style indenting off
set cmdheight=2 " command line height
set ignorecase " ignore case in search patterns
set laststatus=2 " occasions to show status line, 2=always.
set ruler " ruler display in status line
set showmode " show mode at bottom of screen
set number " toggle line numbers
set nobackup " disable backup files (filename~)
set hlsearch " highlight all search results
set showmatch " show matching brackets (),{},[]
" Gvim Settings
set guioptions-=T " disable toolbar icons
set guifont=Consolas\ 8 " backslash any spaces
SOLVED: Silly me I was running 'vi' which has no X support... pacman -S vim fixed it fine.

I just had an issue with no sound after recent updates. Not sure it's the same problem you are having.
I found I had to open Audio Mixer, select Sound card: HDA Intel PCH (Alsa mixer), Select Controls, check box for Speaker and check box for Headphones. After doing this I found the Speaker volume was set at minimum (although Master and PCM were already set at maximum). Adjusted Speaker volume up and I finally had sound again.

[Solved] 256 color term causes color glitch

Hello,
I'm having a strange (to me anyways) issue with 256 color terminals. The issue appears under xterm-256color and rvxt(-unicode)-256color, but not under any of the 8-color terminals I've tried.
A bit of background, if it's relevant: this is my second machine running Arch. It's an Asus netbook which I intend to use for schoolwork-related stuff (therefore, no need for X or a DE -- just console tools). I'm trying to get a 256 color term working because I use emacs, and mc a lot, and they both have nice 256 color themes I'd like to use.
However, when I use a 256 color term, the following happens:
The universal issue is that the colors are wrong -- lots of them are the same blue and grey color repeated again and again. This is I think what is causing emacs/mc and others to do all of their colored highlighting in an unreadable mess of these same colors everywhere. The issue particular to rxvt-unicode-256color (and not rxvt-256color) is the other effect shown in the picture -- the text becomes 'distorted' into incorrect characters. The text typed in on the left, for example, are two ordinary sentences.
Maybe what I'm looking at in the unicode term is two unrelated issues... I'm not sure. In any case, if someone could point me in the direction of a solution or offer some insight, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!

You've caught me redhanded, but more importantly you've finally given me a new name to look into. After several rounds of tic-terminfo-toe, I'm satisfied that as trilby says there simply is no way to get the full 256 color range out of the tty without some x in the middle. This leads to more questions (where's the equivalent of inittab for systemd, where does term get set to xterm anyway (when not in the user's rc's at least, why did it work better through pts, can I achieve 256 in pts without forwarding x, where do I find an 8-color vim syntax scheme that won't burn my eyeballs, etc), but the topic question is resolved. Thanks!

There isn't a .gvimrc in /etc.
I also tried creating it (and .vimrc) and linking them to the one in my home, but it didn't work.
The config files are not hidden in /etc. Thus it is not /etc/.gvimrc but /etc/gvimrc.
This file should be there, it was installed by the gvim package.
By the way, from where do you load your color scheme, global (/usr/share/vim/colors) or local (./vim/colors)? It appears that KDE messes up the environment when starting an application from the menu.

Help and suggestions for color scheme for multiple flavor package design

I need help choosing colors for a multiple flavor food product line.
My objective in this post is to know how to create or acquire the palette I will need in order to proceed with design, mock ups, marketing collateral etc.
This project requires a color scheme that has enough contrast and variation to represent up to 24 flavors of food packages per type or line of products. Each product flavor or flavor combination (the name of the item, such as Cherry Cocoa Almond or Apricot Vanilla Bean etc.) in the line will be represented by a single color. The product packaging will be white on solid color. The medium will be laser print on gloss label stock.
The problem is that many flavors will use similar colors. Chocolate items will have different hues of browns and Maple or Nut flavors will also use brown tones. Likewise Orange, Apricot and Mango will use similar hues of orange etc. I know the problem could be solved with dual or multiple colors but I do not have that option for this project. All of the packaging is white on single color. There are no accent colors used.
I need to generate the palette before designing the packaging in order to create mock ups for print and then photography for print marketing collateral and internet marketing assets etc.
Does anyone have a good strategy for this or know of any resources available?
I am using:
Dell Precision T1700 (64-bit)
Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1)
Dual screens (not calibrated to Pantone or printer)
Printer: Konica Minolta bizhub c224e
Pantone+ Color Bridge Coated and Uncoated book
Adobe CC, AI, PS, ID etc.
I am printing onto gloss labels for mock ups and will be using images for web.
I would also be interested in knowing how to calibrate these devices.
Thanks!

When it comes to design and design sense, sometimes just the name of the item could generate ideas. There really is no right or wrong way to come up with concepts. But, reaching out to other people is a good way of going about it. In product development, I always recommend putting together some sort of focus group and brainstorm ideas back and forth. In larger corporate product departments you would have product managers defining their product descriptions. You might have a marketing group head get involved. Well, I know I am not telling you anything you didn't already know. I'm just saying that, as a designer, I always present my ideas to a few people to get feedback. And, based on that, I can then further develope the idea or dump it and start over. I recently was involved with a new product development and came up with some really great conceptuals. But, then I was told by a product manager that sometimes you have to roll-out something preliminary and, in a few years of selling tons of great items, you then revamp the entire line with a tag that reads "new and improved". This might work in your case where you have limited resources initially. Hope you do well. You could always post screen grabs of what you are thinking and we could give you feedback, too. Just a thought.

Color scheme for 6i.

I am having many problems with color schemes
in 6i. Many characteristics of our
applications have chaged from 6 to 6i. For
example, tab canvases and toolbar canvases
remain "gray" for all options. Radio button
labels remain black even if you specify
"darkLook"="true". It seems that a
"colorscheme"="gray" would solve our
problems. Is it possible to create our
own color schemes?
null

darius,
If you are comfortable manually editing Registry/Preferences
and XML,
then try this:
1. Shutdown DW
2. Edit Configuration/CodeColoring/Colors.xml and do a global
change of
"#000000" (black) to "#FFFFFF" (white).
Note: be sure to edit Colors.xml in your User (not
Application)
Configuration folder. This TechNote explains the difference:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16420
Also, search on "bgcolor" and change those as necessary.
3. (On Windows) Using regedit, go to:
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Tag
Colors
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Tag Colors
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\Tag
Colors
Change all "#000000" (black) values to "#FFFFFF" (white)
Change "Background Color" to "#000000"
Note: these colors may be represented as CSS shortcuts #000
and #FFF
Close regedit
4. Restart DW.
You may need to tweak a few more settings, but that should
get you most
of the way there. This can all be done as an extension, but I
am not
aware of anyone that has put one together.
Hope this helps,
