Override colorscheme

Override colorscheme

I often find myself wanting to change just something little in a colorscheme, but i don't want to edit the original file. I tried putting my change in '~/.vim/after/colors/blah.vim', but that doesn't work for me.

---

Example, I want to change the CursorLine highlight in BusyBee.vim..

~/.vim/colors/BusyBee.vim

I create the file '~/.vim/after/colors/BusyBee.vim' and add this:

hi CursorLine    guibg=#000000 ctermbg=Black cterm=none  

However, i don't see the change. Of course it works if i change the line in the originial BusyBee.vim, but like i said i'd prefer not to do that.

Doing...

:colo Busy  

Shows me...

BusyBee  BusyBee

Put

hi CursorLine    guibg=#000000 ctermbg=Black cterm=none  

after your

colorscheme BusyBee  

entry in your _vimrc.

I don't have 'colorscheme BusyBee' in my .vimrc. I like to switch colorscheme now and then, so i want to "fix" the actual theme.

I came up with this solution, not the prettiest, but whatever.

function! FixColorscheme() " {{{      echo "fixing colorscheme"      if has("gui_running")          if (g:colors_name =~ "busybee")              hi Folded        guibg=#001336 guifg=#003DAD gui=none              hi CursorLine    guibg=#000000 ctermbg=Black cterm=none            elseif (g:colors_name =~ "256-jungle")              hi CursorLine    guibg=#000000 ctermbg=Black cterm=none            elseif (g:colors_name =~ "xoria256")              hi Folded        guibg=#001336 guifg=#003DAD gui=none cterm=none              "hi Folded         ctermbg=234  ctermfg=25    cterm=none          endif      elseif &t_Co == 256          if (g:colors_name =~ "busybee")              hi Folded        guibg=#001336 guifg=#003DAD gui=none              hi CursorLine    guibg=#000000 ctermbg=Black cterm=none            elseif (g:colors_name =~ "256-jungle")              hi CursorLine    guibg=#000000 ctermbg=Black cterm=none            elseif (g:colors_name =~ "xoria256")              hi Folded         ctermbg=234  ctermfg=25    cterm=none              hi CursorLine    cterm=none          "else              "hi CursorLine     ctermbg=0                  cterm=none          endif      endif      endfunction  " }}}  

Run it automatically when changing color scheme.

augroup mycolorschemes      au!      au ColorScheme * call FixColorscheme()  augroup END  

And this helps to load your favorite-scheme-of-the-week on startup. (eek!! the default!)

if iSFirstRun == 1      echo "HI"      colo xoria256      call FixColors()  endif  

.. and this at the very top of .vimrc

"" To let us set some settings only once. {{{      if exists("isRunning")          let isFirstRun = 0      else          let isFirstRun = 1      endif      let isRunning = 1  " }}}  

Perhaps there already is something for this 'isFirstRun'?

Have a look at AfterColors.vim, it will enable you to to use the ~/.vim/after/colors/BusyBee.vim method.

Answer by phunehehe for Override colorscheme

You asked what I'm looking for today. I found a simpler solution than those presented here. I want transparent background instead of the black background from the theme, while simply overriding the color after the colorscheme statement in .vimrc doesn't work and installing a plugin just for that is weird. Here is what I did:

autocmd ColorScheme * highlight Normal ctermbg=None  autocmd ColorScheme * highlight NonText ctermbg=None  

Why does it work? I guess that vim does something besides just read your colorscheme statement and load the statement and then read your highlight statement and change the color. Anyway it seems like vim only change the color scheme after reading the config files. So I provide a hook, that will change the colors every time the color scheme is changed. A nice side effect is, this works even if you switch your color scheme (you could do an if block if you want to).

The stock synload.vim file in $VIM/vimXX/syntax/synload.vim does a

runtime! syntax/syncolor.vim  

This directs vim to read the given filespec in each directory of runtimepath. On RedHat systems, the runtimepath will be something like:

$HOIME/.vim,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/vim72,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after,$HOME/.vim/after  

Put your color adjustments in either $HOME/.vim/after/syntax/syncolor.vim or in the /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after/syntax and you should be good to go.

While your adjustments can be simple hi ... directives, it's apparently more complicated. So I heavily borrowed from the stock syncolor.vim file and now have:

if !exists("syntax_cmd") || syntax_cmd == "on"    " ":syntax on" works like in Vim 5.7: set colors but keep links    command -nargs=* SynColor hi     command -nargs=* SynLink hi link   else    if syntax_cmd == "enable"      " ":syntax enable" keeps any existing colors      command -nargs=* SynColor hi def       command -nargs=* SynLink hi def link     elseif syntax_cmd == "reset"      " ":syntax reset" resets all colors to the default      command -nargs=* SynColor hi       command -nargs=* SynLink hi! link     else      " User defined syncolor file has already set the colors.      finish    endif  endif    " Change comment color from bright cyan to gray  " The bold cyan conflicts with variables and other colors  if &background == "dark"    SynColor Comment      term=bold cterm=NONE ctermfg=Gray ctermbg=NONE gui=NONE guifg=#80a0ff guibg=NONE  endif    delcommand SynColor  delcommand SynLink
