Molokai on 256-Color Terminals

I’ve posted an update for my Molokai color scheme for Vim that now supports the terminal version of Vim on terminals capable of displaying 256 colors.

I don’t use the terminal version of Vim as often as GVim, but it is still occasionally useful, and I hated having to use two different color schemes; one on the GUI version and one on the terminal.

Of course, both are not exactly the same, since the terminal capabilities are still restricted, but they look fairly similar. The following screenshot shows GVim (left) and Vim on gnome-terminal (right) running side by side with the new molokai version:

You can get the updated script from the Vim site or from my dotfiles repository at GitHub.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Envy Code R look so beautiful. Is this your tweaked Linux/FreeType configuration?

Yep! That’s the one. It looks great, even though I’m using huge font sizes (can’t read anything unless I do that on the laptop’s 1920×1200 screen ). I love it!

Very cool to see you are using GVIM for Powershell scripting. Syntax highlighting using Peter Norvost’s plugins works great. I use the vibrantink color scheme myself. Your scheme is pretty cool too.
Curious though….do you have omnifunc (auto-completion) working? If so, how? I think it would be very cool to have powertab like auto-completion for powershell scripts. Using the VIM supertab plugin, I have it working for everything but powershell scripts. When I try to use it, it says something to the effect of omnifunc is not set (but as I mentioned, I only see this for .PS1 files).

@CK: I do not use omni-completion. The regular workd-based completion works pretty well, though.
