A 24bit colorscheme for Vim, Airline and Lightline (generated by Estilo)

Install manually or use a package manager:
" vim-plug
Plug 'jacoborus/tender.vim'
" NeoBundle
NeoBundle 'jacoborus/tender.vim'
" Vundle
Plugin 'jacoborus/tender.vim'
Once your plugin is installed you can set the color scheme in your .vimrc or
init.vim
" If you have vim >=8.0 or Neovim >= 0.1.5
if (has("termguicolors"))
set termguicolors
endif
" For Neovim 0.1.3 and 0.1.4
let $NVIM_TUI_ENABLE_TRUE_COLOR=1
" Theme
syntax enable
colorscheme tender
Use lightline themes (tender and
tenderplus):
" set lighline theme inside lightline config
let g:lightline = { 'colorscheme': 'tender' }
Use airline themes (tender and
tenderplus):
" set airline theme
let g:airline_theme = 'tender'
Fix for MacVim (see issue):
let macvim_skip_colorscheme=1
Copy color to vim if no exist ~/.vim/colors/, create folder.
cp ~/.vim/bundle/tender/colors/tender.vim ~/.vim/colors/tender.vim
