  • standardized

  • I've just recently switched to Base 16 color schemes (dark mode) which was posted here a couple of weeks back. I found the author's choice of #222222 for the background just a bit too light for my taste and changed it to my customary #0c0c0c that I use for the background in my terminals and I like the theme very much.

  • zenbones.nvim

    🪨 A collection of contrast-based Vim/Neovim colorschemes

  • Highly recommend zenbones. Use it over a year. Besides relieving eye strain it also really helped me read and understand code better.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • pbnj.vim

    Vim's default colorscheme, with some improvements

  • For this reason, I rely on the system to automatically toggle the entire system theme (including the terminal) between dark/light mode based on time of day and maintain a modified, minimal (16-color) version of vim's default colorscheme that works on both light and dark backgrounds (https://github.com/pbnj/pbnj.vim)

  • base16-shell

    Base16 for Shells

  • My suggestion is to use is from here because you can change the theme on the fly: https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-shell

  • white-chocolate.nvim

    An opinionated bright, redshift-friendly, modular and vibrant theme for neovim that includes a colorscheme. It strives to be: simple, light, functional and familiar.

  • papercolor-theme

    :art: Light & Dark Vim color schemes inspired by Google's Material Design

  • I use the dark version of this theme: https://github.com/NLKNguyen/papercolor-theme

  • Hasklig

    Hasklig - a code font with monospaced ligatures

  • Change to Hasklig font (https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
