  Base16 for Vim (by chriskempson)

I'm a huge fan of the base16 color schemes - not for their appearance (though most look great), but for their ease of integration within the shell and vim. Just clone the repos below, drop a few lines in your shellrc/vimrc, then use a single bash command to change the scheme in both. No mucking more mucking with Xresources.

• shoji

  2 12 1.3 Vim Script

  Discontinued vim theme that conveys syntax with colorful background highlighting (instead of colored text)

• nord

  81 5,938 1.7 SCSS

  An arctic, north-bluish color palette.

  

Over recent years I've been drawn to the cross-tool themes like Nord and Dracula.

Having consistency between neovim, fzf, bat and fish is lovely.

• vim-dim

  13 237 0.0 Vim Script

  Dim (/dɪm/; a contraction of Default IMproved) is a clone of Vim’s default colorscheme, with some improvements.

I achieve that same consistency with virtually zero configuration by simply setting the colors in my terminal and forgetting about it. Stopped all the fiddling with color schemes quite a while ago.

FWIW, modern reworks of the built-in colorschemes are on their way [1]. We plan to add more third-party colorschemes in the future as we streamline the creation and validation process.

• pywal

  85 8,040 0.0 Python

  🎨 Generate and change color-schemes on the fly.

There are a bunch of tools that generate color schemes for other tools based on a template of their configs. For example pywal is a popular one: https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal But pretty much every major scripting language like JS, ruby, etc. has their own take on the same idea.

Base16 is another popular one with a ton of implementations: https://github.com/chriskempson/base16

• kitty

  289 21,883 9.9 Python

  Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal

I use i3 and win+enter is bound to spawn a new terminal. I had read that kitty was supposed to be super fast, but I tried it out and spawning a terminal was taking .5-1 second!

I looked it up and found https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/330 where the dev says:

> that's just python interpreter startup time

So... The answer is just "yeah it's slow". When you're used to a few milliseconds for terminal spawn, .5s is eons.
