vim-oxidize

vim-oxidize is a dark Vim color scheme inspired by the old "Oblivion" GtkSourceView (gedit) style at some point.

(Shown here with ALE, GitGutter, Indent Guides, lualine, NvimTree, and python-syntax.)

Features:

• Support for GUI colors, termguicolors, and xterm-256colors.
• Based on the Tango color palette, custom fit to the xterm-256colors palette.
• Primarily designed for use with Python, Shell, HTML/etc., and YAML.
• Configurable background brightness, for use in different lighting conditions.
• Theming for plugins: ALE, GitGutter, Indent Guides, lualine, NERDTree, NvimTree, python-syntax, and Syntastic.

Installation

This is a Vim plugin. Install it with any of the usual plugin managers.

Once vim-oxidize is installed, activate it with:

:colorscheme oxidize

Configuration

There are a few configuration options available. The color scheme must be reloaded for options to take effect.

Background brightness

let g:oxidize_brightness = 2

The g:oxidize_brightness option changes the background/UI brightness. Valid range is between 0 and 8.

• 0 is black
• 2 is the default
• 5 is equivalent to the original "Oblivion" brightness (Tango "slate dark")

⚠️ Note: Increasing the brightness will not change the text color - this is still a "dark theme."

Transparent background

let g:oxidize_transparent = 0

Setting g:oxidize_transparent = 1 leaves the primary background color undefined ('none'), allowing your natural terminal background to show through. Everything else still follows the g:oxidize_brightness setting.

Bold and italic

let g:oxidize_use_bold = 1
let g:oxidize_use_italic = 1

These simply enable or disable the bold and/or italic styles, if that's your jam.

While this is my own theme for my own personal style, I'm open to suggestions for other languages or plugins I don't frequent.
