agude/vim-eldar

A dark color scheme for vim based on Elflord.

Eldar is a dark color theme for Vim using bright, high-contrast colors. It is based on elflord, one of the default Vim color schemes.

Eldar looks great in both the GUI and terminal because it uses fewer than 16 colors. Eldar uses the Tango color palette in the GUI by default, but these colors can be overridden by setting g:eldar_* variables (see below). Eldar uses both colors and font weight to differentiate various elements. It is not a subtle scheme; it uses white on black text with high contrast colors.

Installation

You can install Eldar by downloading the eldar.vim file and placing it in ~/.vim/colors/, or by using whatever plugin manager you prefer. For example, with vim-plug:

Plug 'agude/vim-eldar'

You can activate the color scheme with:

:colorscheme eldar

Or put it in your .vimrc so it activates every time you open Vim:

"------------------------
" Syntax: highlighting
"------------------------
if has('syntax')
    syntax enable             " Turn on syntax highlighting
    silent! colorscheme eldar " Custom color scheme
endif

Change Colors

To change the GUI colors, simply define the appropriate g:eldar_* variable in your .vimrc before calling colorscheme:

"------------------------
" Syntax: highlighting
"------------------------
if has('syntax')
    " Override Eldar GUI colors
    let g:eldar_red     = "#ff0000"
    let g:eldar_yellow  = "#ffff00"
    let g:eldar_green   = "#00ff00"
    let g:eldar_cyan    = "#00ffff"
    let g:eldar_blue    = "#0000ff"
    let g:eldar_magenta = "#ff00ff"

    syntax enable             " Turn on syntax highlighting
    silent! colorscheme eldar " Custom color scheme
endif

The GUI text and background colors default to "White" and "Black" respectively. To change these, set the following variables:

let g:eldar_text        = "#D3D3D3"
let g:eldar_background  = "#2B2B2B"

By default terminal vim will use the background color and text color defined by your terminal profile. To override these colors, set:

let g:eldar_term_text        = "White"
let g:eldar_term_background  = "Black"

All these variables must be set before calling colorscheme eldar.

Error messages when use the colorscheme on neovim

Both of terminal and GUI will show this error message, seems it does not compatible with coc.nvim

[coc.nvim] Error: call_atomic request error on "nvim_command": Vim(highlight):E421:Color name or number not recognized: ctermfg=NaN guifg=#00000E  

Error: Pattern not found: eldar_red = "#ff0000"

I'm getting the following errors when I want to change the colors.

Pattern not found: eldar_red     = "#ff0000"
Pattern not found: eldar_yellow  = "#ffff00"
Pattern not found: eldar_green   = "#00ff00"
Pattern not found: eldar_cyan    = "#00ffff"
Pattern not found: eldar_blue    = "#0000ff"
Pattern not found: eldar_magenta = "#ff00ff"

I just pasted the config from the docs after installing Eldar.

"------------------------
" Syntax: highlighting
"------------------------
if has('syntax')
    " Override Eldar GUI colors
    g:eldar_red     = "#ff0000"
    g:eldar_yellow  = "#ffff00"
    g:eldar_green   = "#00ff00"
    g:eldar_cyan    = "#00ffff"
    g:eldar_blue    = "#0000ff"
    g:eldar_magenta = "#ff00ff"

    syntax enable             " Turn on syntax highlighting
    silent! colorscheme eldar " Custom color scheme
endif

I've tried with other properties as suggested in the docs:

g:eldar_text        = "#D3D3D3"
g:eldar_background  = "#2B2B2B"
g:eldar_term_text        = "White"
g:eldar_term_background  = "Black"

But I'm getting the same errors.

Any ideas about what can be wrong?
I'm using iTerm 2 & zsh on the latest version of macOS Mojave.

Thanks,

Able to change default color?

The default color is tango. Is there the option to change that?
