When used with a dark background in the GUI, the underline/undercurl for spelling errors were overwhelmed by the much brighter text. Left existing light bg red as is. Used iA Writer's brighter red for the 'light' red.
Added contrast option to the docs.
- Color Alignments with iterm theme / internally
- the gui and cterm colors were out of alignment in a number of places.
I typically opted for one or the other and plan to reconcile with variables.
This covers all of the stuff under `:help w18`. The UI chrome parts will be
harder, as there's a lot more one-offs and this function-calling style makes
those a bit more difficult.
The colors for the Nomral group will now toggle white/black based on the value
of &background. Note that for `&background == 'dark'` it will use regular white
on a darker black background and when light will use lighter black on regular
white.
The GUI colors for `Constant` and linked groups were varying shades of
darkgreen, instead of the yellow they were grouped under, while the cterm values
were still darkyellow. I have set these to the shade of dark yellow I chose for
the iTerm version of pencil, for the sake of consistency. Changing these would
be easy, so long as they are consistent.
Error This wasn't standing out enough, emboldened.
TODO Was showing up as white on light grey, now on red.
ColorColumn The `ctermbg` was simply set to the regular background and the
foreground highlighting was a middle-grey. This produced
odd-looking off-color characters that seemed like some sort of
error on the occasional ragged line. Adjusted `ctermbg` to be
similar to the guibg, and disabled the foreground highlighting.
If you want to disable this, you can do so with `set colorcolumn=0`
CursorColumn Was set to no highlighting. This is a useful feature for
whitespace-sensitive languages like Python or CoffeeScript, and if
you want to disable it you can do so with `set nocursorcolumn`
CursorLine Was set to no highlighting. This is a useful feature for code in
general. If you want to disable it you can do so with
`set nocursorline`
