Base2Tone-vim

Base2Tone-vim – colorschemes for Vim – one of the syntax-highlighting applications containing the colorschemes of Base2Tone which were based on Duotone Themes by Simurai for Atom.

“DuoTone themes use only 2 hues (7 shades in total). It tones down less important parts (like punctuation and brackets) and highlights only the important ones. This leads to a more calm color scheme, but still lets you find the stuff you're looking for.”

NOTE: These color schemes are optimized and have been tested in the GUI version of Vim, and will work in terminal versions as well. For terminals which don’t support truecolor the colors will now use converted colors which are as close as possible in the 8-bit 256 colorspace. It works fine and looks good in Neovim, for the Gui colors for Neovim are now also specifically defined. For Terminal Vim 8+ and/or Neovim, in your (sourced) .vimrc or default .config/nvim/init.vim, have something like this:

set termguicolors
 if has('nvim')
" https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/FAQ
set guicursor=n-v-c:block-Cursor/lCursor-blinkon0,i-ci:ver25-Cursor/lCursor,r-cr:hor20-Cursor/lCursor
endif

For the most seamless experience: these same color schemes are also ported to iTerm2 and Hyper.

All colorschemes will come in a separate dark and light version.

NOTE: For javaScript users, with the plugin Enhanced JavaScript Syntax for Vim the syntax-highlighting of these themes will look much better.

Optional Airline Support

These themes are tested in Gvim, but when using Vim within terminals which do not support truecolor, ~~it will fall back on the colors of the default dark theme for vim-airline~~ it will now use converted colors which are as close as possible in the 8-bit 256 colorspace.

" Dark
let g:airline_theme='Base2Tone_EveningDark'
" or any of the other themes:
" Dark
" let g:airline_theme='Base2Tone_MorningDark'
" let g:airline_theme='Base2Tone_SeaDark'
" let g:airline_theme='Base2Tone_SpaceDark'
" let g:airline_theme='Base2Tone_EarthDark'
" let g:airline_theme='Base2Tone_ForestDark'
" let g:airline_theme='Base2Tone_FieldDark'
" let g:airline_theme='Base2Tone_GardenDark'
" let g:airline_theme='Base2Tone_DesertDark'
" let g:airline_theme='Base2Tone_LakeDark'
" let g:airline_theme='Base2Tone_MeadowDark'
" let g:airline_theme='Base2Tone_DrawbridgeDark'
" let g:airline_theme='Base2Tone_MallDark'
" let g:airline_theme='Base2Tone_SuburbDark'
" let g:airline_theme='Base2Tone_LavenderDark'

Optional Lightline Support with Base2Tone

" lightline {{{
" -- INSERT -- is redundant because the mode information is displayed in the statusline:
set noshowmode
let g:lightline = {
      \ 'colorscheme': 'Base2Tone_Pool',
      \ }
" or any of the other colorschemes
" template is smart and detects light or dark colorscheme being used
" }}}

Optional (re)generate theme(s)

These themes are generated with Base16 Builder and can be adapted and regenerated with having that CLI installed.

$ npm install --global base16-builder

The file io.sh have to be made executable:

cd ~/.vim/bundle/Base2Tone-vim/
chmod +x io.sh

The templates light.ejs and dark.ejs can be found in db/vim. After adapting the templates, or after making a colorscheme (db/schemes) one can just type io.sh from the commandline, within the parent working directory of Base2Tone-vim. The colorscheme-files will than be regenerated within the colors-folder, and the themes for Airline in the autoload-folder.
