Contrasty is a Vim color scheme that is designed to enhance contrast and legibility, making code easier to read and reduce eye strain. It is a software tool aimed at improving the visual experience of developers.
Contrasty is a Vim colour scheme that boasts high contrast with significantly different hues, while remaining perfectly usable in GUIs as well as colour terminals. Employing a sans-serif font is highly recommended when using the scheme.
For those unfamiliar with Vim, it is a cross-platform text editor originally released in 1991 by Bram Moolenaar for the Amiga computer. Vim is essentially an extended version of the original vi editor, offering many additional editing features that are highly useful for program source code, hence its full name: Vi IMproved.
Although Vim is popular across platforms, it is primarily favoured on Unix-like operating systems. It is also free and open source software, released under a software license that is compatible with the GNU General Public License. Moreover, this license also includes charityware clauses.
As with vi, Vim's interface is primarily based on commands given through a text user interface rather than menus or icons, though its GUI mode, gVim, does include menus and toolbars for commonly used commands. However, for users, becoming accustomed to Vim can take time initially. Once they understand the basics, however, they will find that editing becomes more efficient. Vim has a built-in tutorial for beginners to aid in their learning process. The Vim Users' Manual details Vim's basic and more advanced features and can be read online or within Vim itself.
Finally, Vim has a built-in help facility, accessible through the command ':help', which allows users to query and navigate through commands and features.
