Comments on: Vim color scheme: Gentooish http://briancarper.net/2008/05/10/vim-color-scheme-gentooish/ Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:25:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Jerry Freeline http://briancarper.net/2008/05/10/vim-color-scheme-gentooish/#comment-23487 Jerry Freeline Sat, 31 May 2008 00:21:04 +0000 http://briancarper.net/2008/05/10/vim-color-scheme-gentooish/#comment-23487 "For some reason that's beyond me, I seem to gravitate toward purple and green" That made me laugh, I have a kind of pink / fusia background on one of my SSH terminals which everyone always comments on... once upon a time, when all my terminals were black, I dropped a database on the wrong server... so now I suffer the worst color scheme ever in the hope that this sufferance will earn me divine protection from ever making such a catastrophic error again... and failing that ... at least I wont get it mixed up with the black one ;-) “For some reason that's beyond me, I seem to gravitate toward purple and green”

That made me laugh, I have a kind of pink / fusia background on one of my SSH terminals which everyone always comments on… once upon a time, when all my terminals were black, I dropped a database on the wrong server… so now I suffer the worst color scheme ever in the hope that this sufferance will earn me divine protection from ever making such a catastrophic error again… and failing that … at least I wont get it mixed up with the black one ;-)

Who knows, if i get time and find the courage i might still give it a try and port it myself ;) Now that's a pitty, i'd really like to give it a try on emacs.

Writing an Emacs version, that's a scary thought isn't it. I use the dark-laptop theme for emacs personally. Fraid not. Writing an Emacs version, that's a scary thought isn't it.

I don't like the font either, but to each his/her own. :) Looks pretty good, probably still a bit too unsaturated for my tastes though. I don't like the font either, but to each his/her own. :)

It's the best theme I've seen for vim so far. Especially with the Monaco font that is mentioned. Super sexy. http://blog.infinitered.com/entries/show/8 Check out this theme.

You can make the buttons bigger that way (they're simple .png files). Not sure how to remove the border for maximized windows, if that's even possible.

Do you know how to remove the the bar around the window when it's maximized, and change the size of the buttons on the title bar? Thanks a lot, this is amazing!

I don't know of any books. I think I used vimtutor when I first started learning. (If you're on *nix try vimtutor from a terminal, on Windows it'll be in the start menu, otherwise hunt for the vimtutor executable in the vim install dir). Your other source of info should be :h in vim. It's the best-written, most complete manual I've ever seen. Type :h searchterm<tab> and you can search the help with tab-completion. Then there's the <a href="http://www.vim.org/scripts/index.php" rel="nofollow">official vim scripts page</a> which has been superseded recently by the <a href="http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page" rel="nofollow">official vim wiki</a>. Lots of good stuff there. A book, hmmm. I don't know of any books. I think I used vimtutor when I first started learning.

I'm a long time Emacs user (8 or 9 years) and just made the decision to start using Vim. I like the "smallness" of it and the fact that it's on every Unix and Linux box, pretty much by default. I still love Emacs but it is getting a little bloated and, usually, needs to be installed when I need to work from a computer that is not my own. Don't get me wrong, when I say that Emacs is bloated, I don't mean that in a bad way. Emacs is kind of a "one stop to do everything" editor. I'm really looking forward to my new journey into the Vim world. Can you recommend a good book as a tutorial? Thanks. It looks great!

I use a somewhat modified version of lettuce which has a bit of likewise look. http://linuxtidbits.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/vim-xclip.png http://linuxtidbits.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/my-terminal-gush.png Nice job.
