This is a fork of Infinite Red's excellent vim theme: http://blog.infinitered.com/entries/show/8 Original author is Todd Werth. Forked and rearranged dirs to enable this to be fetched with the Tammer Saleh's excellent update_bundles script and Pathogen.vim: http://tammersaleh.com/posts/the-modern-vim-config-with-pathogen See zip-enabled version of update_bundles: http://gist.github.com/414542#file_update_bundles To use this, add the GIT url to update_bundles or manually drop the ir_black.vim file in here: ~/.vim/colors/ir_black.vim And then add this line to your .vimrc: :colorscheme ir_black By the way, it doesn't look bad on a white background, either.
