Leo256 is a theme designed for long programming sessions in Vim. As a developer, it is my go-to theme for everyday use. The theme is colored and contrasted to reduce strain on my eyes and provide motivation while programming. Currently, there is no GUI version available.
Leo256 works well with many programming languages such as Ruby, Lua, PHP, and C. It contains no language-specific settings, ensuring versatility and avoiding excessive tuning.
Vim is a text editor created by Bram Moolenaar in 1991 for the Amiga computer. It was designed to be an extended version of the vi editor, with added features for editing program source code. Vim is free and open source software released under a software license compatible with the GNU General Public License, including charityware clauses.
Vim's user interface is command-line based, with a GUI mode called gVim that adds menus and toolbars for commonly used commands. Vim has a built-in tutorial for beginners and a Users' Manual for both basic and advanced features. It also has a help facility that allows users to navigate and query commands and features.
To install Leo256, simply copy leo.vim into ~/.vim/colors and issue ':colo leo' in Vim. For a permanent setting, add 'colo leo' to your .vimrc. If your terminal supports only 8 colors, set t_Co=256 in your .vimrc. Recent xterm, Eterm, gnome-terminal, and konsole support 256 colors.
This release includes minor improvements such as less boldness and small enhancements. In summary, Leo256 is an excellent option for any programmer looking for a comfortable and customizable theme for Vim.
