Bad Wolf

A color scheme for Vim, pieced together by Steve Losh.

Configuration

There are a few settings you can use to tweak how Bad Wolf looks.

g:badwolf_darkgutter

Determines whether the line number, sign column, and fold column are rendered darker than the normal background, or the same.

" Make the gutters darker than the background.
let g:badwolf_darkgutter = 1

Default: 0 (off, gutters are the same as the background)

g:badwolf_tabline

Determines how light to render the background of the tab line (the line at the top of the screen containing the various tabs (only in console mode)).

Can be set to 0, 1, 2, or 3.

" Make the tab line darker than the background.
let g:badwolf_tabline = 0

" Make the tab line the same color as the background.
let g:badwolf_tabline = 1

" Make the tab line lighter than the background.
let g:badwolf_tabline = 2

" Make the tab line much lighter than the background.
let g:badwolf_tabline = 3

Default: 1 (same color as the background)

g:badwolf_html_link_underline

Determines whether text inside a tags in HTML files will be underlined.

" Turn off HTML link underlining
let g:badwolf_html_link_underline = 0

Default: 1 (on)

g:badwolf_css_props_highlight

Determines whether CSS properties should be highlighted.

" Turn on CSS properties highlighting
let g:badwolf_css_props_highlight = 1

Default: 0 (off)

I'd love pull requests, but won't necessarily merge all of them. Color schemes are a very subjective topic -- we don't all have the same taste.

badwolf's Issues

Doxygen highlighting

Currently, special doxygen comments are highlighted using the default white color. This theme should respect the let g:load_doxygen_syntax=1 setting when users have it set

distribute with Vim

there is an issue open in the vim repository, to distribute more colorschemes with Vim. Would you kindly give your permission to distribute this colorscheme with Vim?

Possibly weird Java highlighting

In general it looks really cool, but this looked a bit odd methinks:

(after :noh)

CursorLineNr

You need to hi CursorLineNr so that it doesn't persist from other colorschemes and is set appropriately for this colorscheme.

use g:colors_name instead of colors_name

I was debugging an issue with vim startup colors and noticed that badwolf doesn't set the colors_name properly. Which essentially means that :colorscheme will always return default.

the proper variable to use (according to vim documentation) is g:colors_name and not colors_name as it is currently.

C Support

I would love to see better C support. 🔨

syntax enable causes vim responses to slow down extremely.

.vimrc
colorscheme badwolf
syntax enable

For CPP files.
Syntax enable causes vim to freeze if I copy paste into vim
Syntax enable also causes vim to respond very slowly

vim version
7.4.1401

OS: Mac 10.11.6

iTerm Colors

It would be great If you share your iTerm color scheme somewhere.

Open source?

I couldn't find a mention of a license. Thanks

Changes by Neovim 0.10

I use badwolf together with vimwiki. So far the links were displayed blue, now they are not highlighted anymore but look like regular text. Since this happened about the time Neovim version 0.10.0 was released with some changed related to colorshemes, I suspect that is the reason, or am I wrong?
Could you update badwolf to work with neovim 0.10 again? Or could you hint me toward how I could find a fix myself?

I really like badwolf, thank you for developing it!

Different look in mvim and vim

i first thank you for this colorscheme : looks great for python.

I noticed that it looks different when started from iterm2 vim ( macvim terminal mode or raw vim from homebrew-alt) compared to macvim : no blue cursor ...

function name in base color in Clojure

The function name after defn also after def.. is white. How can I change it?

visual mode selection hard to see

Really love the theme, but visual mode selection is barely visible on my external monitors (it appears fine on my main macbook monitor). Any chance the contrast between it or the background color can be moved into a variable/setting or color? For example g:selection_contrast or g:selection_color.

Arbitrary highlighting

Hi,
The colorscheme looks great, except I have some strange problem where some parts of the code (certain keywords and strings) have a light highlighting. See the attached screenshot, a snippet of some python code.

The problem occurs when opening the file in terminal vim (i.e., $ vi <filename>) using my default settings, then entering :colorscheme badwolf. My default colorscheme right now is this one. So I guess the problem stems from having launched using the default then switching to badwolf?

Can you offer any assistance? Thanks!

Request: Please add an option to use this with a transparent background.

I really like this color theme for vim, but I use a terminal with a custom background and when using your theme it seems that it wants to add your own background.

htmlItalic

Hi,

i've been using badwolf since the early days of Clojure (thank you also for your plugins from those days such as vim-clojure-static).

I am doing quite a lot of writing in markdown recently using tpope's syntax highlighting. That plugin uses htmlItalic, htmlBold, htmlBoldItalic.

It would be great if badwolf at least supported htmlItalic.

Thanks for such a great colourscheme and reminding me on a daily basis how good Christopher Eccleston was as Doctor Who.

Not enabled for markdown and other file types

Hello :)

I've installed your great theme. I see it applied in JSON files, but not in Python, Bash nor Markdown files.

Is there extra configuration to do to generalize your theme to all supported file types?

Here is the beginning of my init.vim:

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')    
     
Plug 'xolox/vim-misc'    
Plug 'xolox/vim-session'    
Plug 'kien/ctrlp.vim'    
" Plug 'jacoborus/tender.vim'    
" Plug 'rakr/vim-one'    
Plug 'sjl/badwolf'    
     
Plug 'itchyny/lightline.vim'    
Plug 'tpope/vim-fugitive'    
     
call plug#end()    
     
     
set termguicolors    
syntax enable    
colorscheme "badwolf" 

Thanks!

Scrolling causes whitespace to change color [manjaro linux]

When I open a file and scroll, the whitespace on the lines that I showed by scrolling changes color in a way that makes it seem that the theme no longer applies to it. Which is to say that if I am looking at lines 1-50, then scroll down so that i am viewing lines 50-59, the whitespace on lines 51-59 will not be the correct color, and do not appear themed at all.

Wrong colors in CSS

Few of the CSS properties are coloured in pink while they should have been in red.

(In this screenshot the left and right properties in particular.)

Missing styles for vimdiff

These are very important!

Badwolf and LaTeX

Themes like molokai and your modified molokai correctly highlight, when editing .tex files, things like

\frac{A}{2}

Badwolf does not (maybe because he's bad :)

Improve readability of command autocompletion (wildmode)

Right now, autocompletion of commands gets a blue background with an orange foreground, which can be difficult to read.

Eg:

Palette information for making a Terminal theme
