Vim + Zenburn [SOLVED]

Borosai · 2006-11-27 19:51:20

I downloaded the latest release of the Zenburn color scheme for Vim, hoping that I could use it in my terminal as well, but it doesn't work...the colors fall back to the default colors. I'm using rxvt-unicode, and I assume it has 256 color support, but I'm not sure. :?

Does anybody else use this combination successfully (urxvt+vim+zenburn)? I'm kind of lost here...

yes, i do. but i had the same prob as you(worked in gvim but not vim) and if i recall correctly it was because one of the config files were overwriting the other or something like that. See if you have a ~/.gvimrc for example, and a ~/.vimrc .. so try deleting/making/changing the config files(maybe in etc too). Sorry i can't be more specific

IIRC, vim reads ~/.vimrc. gvim reads .vimrc and then .gvimrc.

Therefore, make sure your colour scheme config is in .vimrc and it should then work for vim and gvim.

If gvim reads .vimrc then .gvimrc, then the color setting in .gvimrc over rides the one in .vimrc.

I have both ~/.vimrc and ~/.gvimrc set to zenburn. When I make changes to the .vimrc file with other colors, such as desert256, it works fine. And gvim accepts the scheme perfectly. So, the files seem ok.

Any other ideas....maybe something I can test? For now, I will take a look at the system-wide config...maybe something in there needs changing. Blah, who knows.

it's always possible zenburn just fails in non-gui mode. This is typical alot of the time. Check the color definition and see if it sets ctermfg and ctermbg.

Here is the zenburn.vim file...others with more experience can find any problems much better than I can.

I've just tried playing around. Zenburn is written for gvim. You can see that with the guifg/guibg commands.

As you can see, Kurt adding cterm* commands for consoles like xterm which support 256 colours. However, it seems that consoles behave differently (I'm using konsole which requires its own schema file to work properly with vim+zenburn). I don't really know what to advise.

Just use desert for now!

phrakture · 2006-11-30 21:20:08

Like I said, you need to check for ctermfg and ctermbg. These *are* set, however, they are in an "if" block. You can easilly find out what t_Co is through vim's extensive help, but I will give you a hint. It is the number of colors a terminal supports.

if &t_Co > 255

urxvt does not support that many colors. It supports 88.
Thus, zenburn does not work on an 88 color terminal.

Both desert256 and inkpot should work fine under 88 color terminals. The best you can hope for is to contact the author and ask them to provide an entry for 88 color terminals too.

Borosai · 2006-12-01 09:21:28

See, I wouldn't have figured that out anytime soon...thanks for clearing it up. I guess I will use something else for now. Or I can use another terminal. Whatever, it isn't all that important.

I actually like inkpot in urxvt. It works nicely

I gave it a spin, but I just don't like that much orange Thanks though.
