Violet Colorscheme

Inspired by Solarized. An attempt to a better-looking Vim. Neat and clean.

Features

1. ☯️ Dark & Light

   

   Every colorscheme should have dark and light background modes.

2. 🚢 Airline Theme

   

   While using violet colorscheme, the included airline theme should be loaded automatically.

3. 🚥 Straightaway Switch

   :set background=dark/light This should do the trick.

   Tips: I recommended to throw those lines below into your .vimrc file, then use leader + b to quickly switch between dark & light colorschemes.

   nnoremap <silent> <Leader>b :call ToggleBackground()<CR>
   function! ToggleBackground()
       if &background == "light"
           set background=dark
       else
           set background=light
       endif
   endfunction

4. 📺 256 Color Palette Mode

   Violet colorscheme was primarily created for 24bit truecolor editor (gvim/macvim), and I try my best to make it work in terminal emulators too.

   If you confirm that your terminal emulator supports 24bit truecolor (https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728), use set termguicolors to activate it.

   Attention: There is noticeable difference between 24bit truecolor mode and 256 color palette mode, due to the absence of approximate colors.

Installation

If you are using vim-plug:

Plug 'ashfinal/vim-colors-violet'

Then add this into your .vimrc file: colorscheme violet.
