Yowish, a yellowish dark vim colorscheme

Description

Yowish is a vim dark theme similar to outlander, with some yellow in it 😃
It works well on both GUI & 256-colors terminal.

See supported file types, customized plugins and screens.

Note You can even use your own colors..

GUI vs terminal

The colors in 256-color terminals are quite similar to the ones in the GUI version.
Here is a comparison between GVim and xfce-terminal with a standard color palette:

Supported file types

Normally, any file type should be good looking, but some are more customized than others, check the screens.

Syntax plugins

The theme uses some elements from the following syntax plugins:

• html: othree/html5.vim
• pug: vim-pug (Formerly jade)
• javascript:
  • othree/yajs.vim
  • pangloss/vim-javascript
• markdown: gabrielelana/vim-markdown
• php: StanAngeloff/php.vim

Other plugins

The theme provides custom colors for the following plugins (Note that you can disable them, see configuration for that).

• Agit
  

• CtrlP
  

• NERDTree
  

• Lightline
  

• Signjk
  

• Two airline themes:

  • yowish
    
  • yowishU (U for Unity)
    

• Unite
  

Installation

Copy the distributed files into Vim runtime directory which is usually ~/.vim/, or $HOME/vimfiles on Windows.

Or in a better way, use a vim plugin manager:

Plugin manager	In vimrc	Installation command
Vim-plug	Plug 'KabbAmine/yowish.vim'	PlugInstall
Vundle	Plugin 'KabbAmine/yowish.vim'	PluginInstall
NeoBundle	NeoBundle 'KabbAmine/yowish.vim'	NeoBundleInstall

Configuration

The configuration of the plugin is stocked in one global dictionary g:yowish.
To define/modify an option you can either:

let g:yowish = {}
let g:yowish.option1 = 'foo'
let g:yowish.option2 = 0

Or:

let g:yowish = {
			\ 'option1': 'foo',
			\ 'option2': 0
		\ }

Options

Be sure to define options before loading the colorscheme

key	default value	description
colors	See custom color palette	Color palette
term_italic	0	Use italic in terminal
comment_italic	0	Use italic for comments
spell_bad_color	NONE	Change foreground color for spell check errors (Use the color name from color palette)
ctrlp	1	Custom colors for CtrlP
unite	1	Custom colors for Unite
nerdtree	1	Custom colors for NERDTree
agit	1	Custom colors for Agit
signjk	1	Custom colors for Signjk

Custom color palette

Starting from version 0.7.3 you can modify the color palette used in the theme using g:yowish.colors.
The values by default are:

g:yowish.colors = {
			\	'background'        : ['#222222', '235'],
			\	'backgroundDark'    : ['#0e0e0e', '232'],
			\	'backgroundLight'   : ['#393939', '236'],
			\	'comment'           : ['#6e6e6e', '242'],
			\	'green'             : ['#2acf2a', '40'],
			\	'lightBlue'         : ['#6699cc', '67'],
			\	'lightGreen'        : ['#99cc99','108']
			\	'lightRed'          : ['#f2777a', '203'],
			\	'lightViolet'       : ['#d09cea', '171'],
			\	'lightYellow'       : ['#ffcc66', '222'],
			\	'red'               : ['#f01d22', '160'],
			\	'selected'          : ['#373b41', '234'],
			\	'text'              : ['#cbcbcb', '251'],
			\	'textDark'          : ['#bebebe', '249'],
			\	'textExtraDark'     : ['#8c8c8c', '244'],
			\	'textLight'         : ['#ebebeb', '255'],
			\	'yellow'            : ['#ffbe3c', '215'],
			\ }

The value of each key is a list containing:

1. A hexadecimal color for GUI.
2. The equivalent 256-color for supported terminals.

Note that you can completely change the look, here is my personal custom palette:

let g:yowish.colors = {
            \	'background'       : ['#2f343f', 'none'],
            \	'backgroundDark'   : ['#191d27', '16'],
            \	'backgroundLight'  : ['#464b5b', '59'],
            \	'blue'             : ['#5295e2', '68'],
            \	'comment'          : ['#5b6176', '242'],
            \	'lightBlue'        : ['#e39f52', '179'],
            \	'lightYellow'      : ['#80aee3', '110'],
            \	'yellow'           : ['#5295e2', '68'],
            \ }

And there is how it looks in gvim & terminal vim.
