vim-ascetic

I wanted a monochrome (n)vim colorscheme that used a transparent background with softer tones. Too many of them used bolds and bright whites excessively. Apparently that's not a thing, so I made this.

Usage

This colorscheme supports a light background. Set your background accordingly prior to declaring the colorscheme:

set background=dark " or light

colorscheme ascetic

Note: The background will default to transparent, this can make the colorscheme not work if your default background is dark, but you set the colorscheme to light without setting g:ascetic_transparent_bg=0.

Dark background

Light background

Options

• Transparent background is enabled by default, you can turn this off with:

let g:ascetic_transparent_bg = 0

• Accent colors are enabled by default. These are used for matching parenthesis, diffs, errors, and warnings. Turn this off with:

let g:ascetic_accent_colors = 0

• String highlighting is disabled by default, you can turn this on with:

let g:ascetic_highlight_strings = 1
