Suggestion for neovim color scheme.
I just found Nightfox and switched over to it. I liked it so much I contributed a base16 template and use it with base16-shell.

Adding LXTerminal to Styles
Okay, so I've found the files that change the colors for the terminals ($HOME/.config/openbox/scripts/[name of style]) and I can add some bash to include LXTerminal, but I don't think I will. Instead of converting all the color codes into RBG, I am going to find Base16 equivalents for each theme and add that to the style scripts. Base16 has a lot of choices, works via the shell (so on all terms), and also allows for instant changes.

Vim Color Schemes
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.

Zsh Plugins Commit TOP
base16 🥇 - Adds script to allow you to change your shell's default ANSI colors but most importantly, colors 17 to 21 of your shell's 256 colorspace (if supported by your terminal). This script makes it possible to honor the original bright colors of your shell (e.g. bright green is still green and so on) while providing additional base16 colors to applications such as Vim.

Vim loses theme when not opened through terminal
I want to have a consistent theme between my terminal and vim so I use Base16 Shell and Base16 Vim. But whenever I open vim without typing it in the command line, ie through dolphin or ranger or vifm the theme gets lost and turns into the blue mess.
