beauty256 is a visually appealing Vim theme that is exclusively created for the xterm using 256-color support.
Vim's interface is command-based and is dependent on text user interface, which makes it different from icons and menus. Though it has a GUI mode called gVim, it uses menus and toolbars only for commonly used commands. Its complete functionality remains to be expressed through command-line mode. Initially, learning Vim could be slow and challenging, but once the basics are understood, editing becomes much more efficient. To help facilitate this, Vim has a built-in tutorial for beginners, and the Vim Users' Manual details all of the basic and advanced features.
A built-in help facility (using the :help command) allows users to query and navigate through Vim's commands and features. For beauty256, the requirements are Vim, and the installation is more straightforward than it seems. Copy the beauty256.vim script to the $HOME/.vim/colors folder and ensure to add the following line to your .vimrc set: t_Co=256 color beauty256. The first line sets Vim to use 256 color in the terminal, which works well with Beauty256.
