Is there a way to automatically convert color schemes from Emacs <-> Vim <-> TextMate <-> etc.? If not, there should be. It seems like it wouldn't be terribly hard to make and could really be useful.

True. In the meantime, everyone loves VibrantInk, and there's ports of it to all of the above and more.

While this is an old link, it's still very handy.

Two others in terms of Vim colorschemes are, the Scheme Editor: http://yukihiro.nakadaira.googlepages.com/vim-color.html

And CSApprox, which allows gvim colorschemes to work in terminals: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2390

For Emacs: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~maverick/GNUEmacsColorThemeTest/index...

And if you like a dark theme, but none of those do it for you, there's always Zenburn: http://www.brockman.se/software/zenburn/

I've discovered in vim, that colorschemes in itself doesn't help me with programming. I need to have every type of keyword, parameter's highlighted to a different color. Basically, I need things highly customized, which is why I really love Eclipse.

I made one called Chocolate, based on the W3C core style of the same name.

I need the breeze theme when I program. Screen: http://billmill.org/static/images/desktop.png

Old link, really ) Keep in mind that not all themes there work on the latest version of Vim. I had to hack some of them before installing to get rid of unsupported stuff.

one thing that all colorschemes have in common: they don't highlight {[(,. etc. I like those highlighted. Is it possible in vim? I have authored a colorscheme but it was so basic that I cannot claim to know whether there's something in the way vim does highlighting that prevents coloring those characters. I would say nothing, but who knowns...

here's what i did: I spent half an hour downloading and playing around with about 20 themes only to return to the theme I was using before I started... But I guess now I appreciate it more

Does anyone know any theme that uses the colors from gnome-terminal's Tango colorscheme? (I already found the tango colorscheme for vim - it isn't the same)

Does anyone have a colorscheme that only highlights comments?
