A technical reason is the\nhistorical constraints imposed by 16 color terminals, but fortunately this\nlimitation is easy to overcome.\n\nFeatures\n--------\n* Minimal colors, to avoid distracting:\n\n  - Shades of gray for most elements\n  - Bright keywords to highlight structure.\n  - Dark comments \u0026 strings to emphasize surrounding code.\n  - Red for exceptional elements (constants \u0026 errors)\n\n* Works in ``vim`` and ``gvim``. Rudimentary support for 16-color terminals.\n\nUsage\n-----\n- Enable `256 colors in vim \u003chttp://vim.wikia.com/wiki/256_colors_in_vim\u003e`_.\n  Note that when using ``ssh``, both client and server need to be properly configured.\n- Put ``256_noir.vim`` in ~/.vim/colors/\n- Add the following to ``~/.vimrc``:\n\n.. code-block:: vim\n\n    colorscheme 256_noir\n\n    \" Change highlighting of cursor line when entering/leaving Insert Mode\n    set cursorline\n    highlight CursorLine cterm=NONE ctermfg=NONE ctermbg=233 guifg=NONE guibg=#121212\n    autocmd InsertEnter * highlight CursorLine cterm=NONE ctermfg=NONE ctermbg=234 guifg=NONE guibg=#1c1c1c\n    autocmd InsertLeave * highlight CursorLine cterm=NONE ctermfg=NONE ctermbg=233 guifg=NONE guibg=#121212\n\n.. image:: screenshot.png\n   :alt: screenshot of vim with noir colorscheme\n\nThe font in the above screenshots is the default xterm bitmap font\n`fixed \u003chttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_(typeface)\u003e`_ at 6x13.\n\nBonus\n-----\n- `mc \u003chttps://midnight-commander.org/\u003e`_, add the following to e.g. ``~/.bashrc``:\n\n  .. code-block:: bash\n  \n      export MC_SKIN=dark\n\n- `mutt \u003chttp://www.mutt.org/\u003e`_, add the following to ``~/.muttrc``::\n\n      color normal      white default\n      color status      black white\n      color indicator   white red\n      color hdrdefault  yellow default\n      color signature   yellow default\n      color attachment  brightyellow default\n      color markers     brightred default\n      color quoted      green default\n      color tilde       blue default\n      color tree        red default\n\nOther recommended terminal apps with dark colors by default:\n\n- https://ranger.github.io/\n- http://hisham.hm/htop/\n- https://github.com/andreasvc/cplay/\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fandreasvc%2Fvim-256noir","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fandreasvc%2Fvim-256noir","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fandreasvc%2Fvim-256noir/lists"}
