(jeffa) 4Re: Comments in my code (gvim syntax highlighting example)

Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, and i must admit that the color scheme i demonstrated pleases my eyes quite well. But, i totally understand where you are coming from, and your link to the Edward Tufte site has inspired me:


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use constant FOO => 'bar';

my @array = qw(one two three);
my $scalar = 'when in Rome';
 # some comments
print "i like Rome\n" if $scalar =~ /Rome/;
print "no digits\n"   if $scalar !~ /\d+/;

sub foo {
    return 'foo';
}

Needs some more tweaking, but you get the point - if it's the colors themselves that bother, and not the notion of syntax highlighting, then just change them to suite your needs. Here is the pertinant .gvimrc config info:

hi Normal     guifg=#35351d guibg=#fffff3
hi PreProc    guifg=#de022a guibg=#fffff3
hi Statement  guifg=#8d6b5f guibg=#fffff3
hi Comment    guifg=#777777 guibg=#fffff3
hi Identifier guifg=#2c2255 guibg=#fffff3
hi Constant   guifg=#0f6d30 guibg=#fffff3
hi Special    guifg=#de022a guibg=#fffff3
hi Cursor     guifg=#de022a guibg=#c13a30

Exactly. This is the sort of config I would have expected to see years ago. I would tend to tone down the red; it still jumps out. But thanks for the constants, I think I'll take them and run with them for a while. -- `g r i n d e r`	[reply]
