vim-easteregg

A very colorful, dark-themed colorscheme for vim, inspired by Jellybeans.vim.

If you use vim-airline, be sure to check out my companion theme.

About

A few years ago, I started using the Jellybeans colorscheme, but I have modified it so much over the years, it's become its own entity. I liked the darker theme, but wanted more colors for different keywords. I kept adding more colors, but tried to keep a lot of them pastel-ish. The color pallette, plus the inspiration from Jellybeans, is where I got the name Easteregg.

Screenshot Examples

The font used in the examples is 11pt. Hack.

set guifont=Hack:h11

The languages in the image, from left to right, top to bottom, are ruby, vimscript, bash, and c++

For larger examples, see ruby, vimscript, bash, and php.

Installation

Version 8

If you're using vim version 8, clone the directory under one of your package directories.

mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/evanthegrayt/start
git clone https://github.com/evanthegrayt/vim-easteregg.git \
    ~/.vim/pack/evanthegrayt/start/easteregg

Pathogen

If you're not using version 8, I recommend installing pathogen, and cloning the repository in ~/.vim/bundle. This will allow you to pull updates when they're available.

No Package Manager

If you're not interested in keeping the plugin up to date, just put the easteregg.vim file in ~/.vim/colors.

Configuration

This theme looks best with italics, but this is not enabled by default. To enable italics, add this line to your vimrc, before setting the colorscheme:

let g:easteregg_use_italics = 1
colorscheme easteregg

If your terminal doesn't have italics enabled (which is default for most terminal emulators), you'll need to research how to enable them.

Self Promotion

I do these projects for fun, and I enjoy knowing that they're helpful to people. Consider starring the repository if you like it! If you love it, follow me on github!
