Vim Color Scheme: Hemisu

Development 13/11/2011

Introducing Hemisu, a color scheme for the command-line editor Vim, that comes in two flavors (dark and light) and nicely complements Peppermint.

The dark and light themes running in MacVim

Features

Two modes: one optimized for daytime, the other optimized for low light conditions
Made to work with both GUIs (gui) and 256-color terminals (cterm)
Provides harmonious colors and styles for all predefined UI elements and syntax groups

Usage

To install and use this color scheme, move the file hemisu.vim into your colors directory (e.g., ~/.vim/colors/).

The color scheme comes in two flavors, dark and light. To toggle between the two modes, set the background in Vim:

:set background=dark
:set background=light

To enable syntax highlighting and use the color scheme automatically when you start Vim, add the following to your .vimrc:

if &t_Co > 2 || has("gui_running")
  syntax on
  colorscheme hemisu
endif
