Nice! Would it be possible to add Ruby as a language example? I could likely figure out more-or-less how the code would appear using one of the other languages with which I am familiar, but it would be quite useful to see the changes to code similar to what I am most often writing.

I was hoping to see Solarized Day and Night in the theme list.

Me too, I used zenburn before, but I slightly prefer solarized.

I love solarized so much I even use it to read the web:

ps: I minified the URL because the real one is extremely long.

Thanks for posting this. I had forgotten the name and tried searching HN for other keywords but couldn't find it. A spectacular theme.

Too bad there arent options to show different colors for names defined in various scopes for python.

Example

def lol(self): name = [1,2,3] for n in name: print n

Let name be one color and let n be a differnet lighter color. Let self be another (class-level) color. Would be nice to make method calls their own color, different from function calls.

Is that possible to make in any other way?

Easily one of the best websites i've ever come across -- been looking for something like this for a while! Would be nice to have html highlighting, but certainly not complaining as is...

Many thx!

That's pretty awesome. If you have more general hex-value editing needs in vim, I recently hooked up a color picking app that I wrote to vim. While over a hex value, you can hit a keystroke and launch the color selector. Any changes made to the color there are automatically update in vim:

Awesome! Just wish the pre-created schemes on the right would remain highlighted after clicking one - easy to lose track of where you were.

Does not seem to be entirely working on Chrome 17 (Win7 64bit), the actual code (which one would put into colorscheme.vim) does not reflect the chosen colors. The code sample however does. To clarify, clicking a "highlight" item and changing its color does not change the hex or terminal color codes. I started by modifying an existing scheme.

Same with chrome 18 on linux. I just tested chrome 14 on linux as well and it doesn't work there either.

Very cool! I recommend the "wombat" theme for dark terminals.

Btw, the "start with your own theme" feature is broken in Chrome17 and FF8; it injects the CSS directly into the <body>, without the <style> tag.

Dragging the colour selector in chromium is a little weird, sometimes it starts to highlight things or drag other elements.. Otherwise quite nice.

That is fantastic. Just what I needed!

Would also be cool if we could download it for different editors.
[+] phzbOx|14 years ago|reply
This is fucking awesome. Wish I had that years ago.

I'm sticking with Solarized.

Wow It's awesome. One small thing I would point out is to please set cursor to pointer on the color scheme selector.
