Apple - Where does MacVim keep its themes?
By default, you should put custom colorschemes/themes into: ~/.vim/colors
Note that you may need to create the .vim
directory in your home directory if it does not already exist.
After doing so, your :colorscheme command should automatically pick up the theme.
This is what I have in my ~/.vimrc
if has("gui_running")
syntax on
set hlsearch
colorscheme macvim
set bs=2
set ai
set ruler
endif
Where does macvim keep it's themes?
The themes that MacVim ships with can be found in
/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/runtime/colors
but MacVim will also load any custom themes you have on disk. I use the rather awesome Janus plugin distribution with MacVim and Janus keeps all of its themes in ~/.vim/janus/vim/colors
. MacVim will load this in as well as the defaults.
But the theme remains unchanged. What am I doing wrong?
MacVim loads both ~/.vimrc
and ~/.gvimrc
, in that order. Make sure that settings in ~/.gvimrc
aren't clobbering settings you're making in your ~/.vimrc
file.
