Palette Town

A ruby tool for generating vim color schemes.

Palette files are just normal Ruby files, so you can use Ruby code however you like. No, really; that's why I made it when there was already joshuaclayton/palette.

To demonstrate this, here's an example file. Please. for the love of God, DO NOT USE THESE COLORS. Seriously, they're hideous.

name 'Kawaii'
author 'Desu Yo'
description 'the most super kawaii theme ever'

main_bg = "00FF00"

hi :Normal, "0000FF", main_bg
hi :LineNr, darker(hi[:Normal][:fg], 10.percent)
hi :String, spin(hi[:Normal][:bg], 90.degrees)
hi :Boolean, :bg => main_bg

• lighter(color, amount) - Increases luminosity of a color by amount.
• darker(color, amount) - Decreases luminosity of a color by amount.
• saturate(color, amount) - Increases saturation of a color by amount.
• desaturate(color, amount) - Decreases saturation of a color by amount.
• spin(color, amount) - shifts the hue by amount radians.

• Fixnum#degrees - provides a simple expression of degrees, returned in radians
• Fixnum#percent - provides a simple expression of percent, returned as a decimal

Once you've written a palette file, you build it into a proper vim theme with the following command:

$ palettetown build file.rb -o file.vim

• Styles (italic, bold, underline)
• Automatic console color picking
  • Support for entering the hex values of your 16-color set and using those for matching.
