About

Archery is a dark colorscheme for Vim, inspired by Arch Linux color palette. This is where beautiful shades of blue meet mysterious shades of gray!

Installation

It is recommended to install Archery with a Vim plugin manager:

• Pathogen
• Vundle
• Plug
• NeoBundle
• Dein

Then enable the colorscheme in your vimrc with the following command: colorscheme archery

If you only use GVim, you're done! If you use terminal Vim, read on...

1. Archery supports 256 colors terminals, so you do not need plugins like CSApprox or GUIColorscheme to use it.
2. Open your vimrc with Vim in your terminal and try :set termguicolors. If colors are rendered properly, you can add this command in your vimrc to use GUI colors directly (these are defined using the hexadecimal notation).
3. If "termguicolors" does not work, add set t_Co=256 in your vimrc before setting the colorscheme and configure your terminal emulator to use the Archery color palette given below.

In GVim, color8 will be #282D34 instead of #354151. Why? Because some CLI tools use the dark gray color to display textual information. This makes some text unreadable, due to the dark background of Archery. So in terminal emulators, color8 must be lighter...
