Rainglow

## VIM (BETA)

Rainglow is a collection of color themes for a number of different editors and platforms. This repository consists of **320+ syntax and UI themes** for [VIM](http://www.vim.org/).

To show support for the project, you can do any (or many!) of the following:

- [Wear a theme.](https://teespring.com/stores/rainglow)
- [Star the repository.](https://github.com/rainglow/vim/stargazers)
- [Follow me on twitter, and say hi!](https://twitter.com/daylerees)
- [Share on refind.](https://refind.com/daylerees?invite=9125a6f6a7)
- [Share on product hunt.](https://www.producthunt.com/)
- [Buy my books!](https://daylerees.com/books/)
- [Donate via PayPal.](https://paypal.me/daylerees)
- [Donate via Monzo.](https://monzo.me/daylerees)

### IMPORTANT

These themes are for GUI VIM only, they don't make sense in 256 colour consoles.

Use something like GVim/MacVim.

These themes are in BETA. Vim is tricky to theme, so please report anything odd! Where possible, provide files that can be used to reproduce the issues you've found.

### Manual Installation

Clone the repository and copy the contents of the 'colors' directory into `~/.vim/colors` or use a plugin
manager like [Plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug) or [Vundle](https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim) and add `"rainglow/vim"`
as a plugin.

Use the following examples for theme switching by name:

```
colorscheme bold
colorscheme bold-contrast
colorscheme bold-light
```

**Suggested settings:**

```
set number
set linespace=3
set guifont=Fira\ Code:h12
set cursorline
```

### Useful Information

This project is an evolution of my colour schemes project found at [https://github.com/daylerees/colour-schemes](https://github.com/daylerees/colour-schemes). Peacock was the first ever theme. I created it to try and find something to use other than Monokai. It's now a favourite for many users!

If you'd like to report a bug with one of the color schemes, please raise an issue on the repository rather than submitting a pull request. This is because the themes run through a generation process, and editing the themes directly is not advised!

Have a wonderful day!

Dayle.
