Can you please put the colour refence table as it were from the wikipedia entry? It was very useful…

Thanks & keep up the good work.
I wonder who the idiot that asked to have the entry deleted was…

J.H., I don’t know who it was originally - my guess is some random Wikipedia admin.

As for the deletion, the article was deleted based on lack of notability. After reading the Wikipedia rules, I have to admit I agreed with the verdict to delete, as the article unfortunately did not reach the high level Wikipedia demands. I didn’t like it, but judging the article and the rules objectionably that’s the way it had to go :(

As for the color table, I’ll sure try to add it… if only I can find it from somewhere! It seems that the wikipedia entry has just vanished, as if it never existed. Or I don’t know how to look.

I copied the contents of the table to a spread sheet on my machine before they took down the page. I’ve uploaded it to google docs. I’ll color it when I get the chance.

Very good, C Betancourt! I shall make a task for myself to add the table here in the near future.

If you come up with the colors before I add the table, please put a comment here so then I’ll be sure to use the latest version.

You can get a “gnome-terminal” %gconf file here:

http://mavis.anu.edu.au/ubuntu/zenburn-gnome-terminal/%25gconf.xml

Just drop this in a directory called:

~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/zenburn

and you are good to go. Note that I use a slightly transparent background for this one so perhaps you should increase the saturation of the background a bit but I like it this way!

I ported Zenburn for ctheme:

I put Zenburn and Minimal (a TextMate color theme) together, made a similar one “MinimalZen” for EmEditor (http://www.EmEditor.com), you can find sreenshots in “http://picasaweb.google.com/toadloading/ScreenShots” and my EmEditor color theme in “http://www.box.net/shared/dnj42nqyow”

I found the StatusLine to close to the background color, so I set it the same as StatusLineNC. Humbly submitted as a possible patch if you agree.

Hi Charlie!

I checked your patch, and agreed that the current StatusLine color was lousy. I took your patch in but had to edit it slightly, to be more in line with how GVim looks like.

Anyway, your name shall live forever in the Zenburn file itself, have a look at the latest version :) If you want your full name to be displayed, please send me a mail.

Thanks for spotting it!

Pardon my ignorance, but does this color scheme work with vim in a terminal or just gvim? I’ve tried using it in a terminal and it doesn’t look right.

By YDobon on 07.19.08 6:46

Ydobon, it works with both gvim and vim - however, one must have 256 colors enabled in the terminal for the colors to look right.

This can be done with export TERM=xterm-256color, then launching vim. It works under Linux etc. but I’m not sure if that will work under a Windows prompt.

…and if it still doesn’t seem to work, check that the terminal emulator supports 256 colors in the first place :)

Thank you Ydobon, I’ll update this page with instructions how to enable the 256-color mode.

First and foremost: great work. This colorscheme is tight, and I’m loving it.

However, I was running into the trouble under iTerm in osX wherein if I changed my terminal type to anything other than “builtin_ansi”, my arrow keys would stop working within vim. Took me a while, but I finally found a solution, which I thought I should share with anyone else running into the same problem. It’s http://www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=550 , but it’s _NOT_ the actual tip, it’s the suggestion given in the first response there.

I know this isn’t strictly related to zenburn (so I won’t blame you if you kill this post), but manoman was it driving me crazy while I was trying to get your theme to work ;>

Again, great work. Now I need this ported as a theme for irssi.

Thanks Mediapathic! I’ve not noticed problems under Linux, but for the benefit of Mac OS X users, it’s good to have the information.
