#ls_colors

Zenburn in vim on OSX:

I recently changed my vim color scheme to using the magnificient zenburn color scheme (http://slinky.imukuppi.org/zenburn/) . Using zenburn is a breeze, but in order for this to work properly you need to use a 256 colors terminal. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to do that with Terminal.app, so I switch to using the nice iTerm project to remedy that.

Zenburn in the shell:

With iTerm in hand and zenburn working in vim, I wanted to have unified color looks across my shell so I set to quickly build an LS_COLORS theme that match the nice zenburn colors.

Here's the results:

Setup is easy as pie , simple put the following in your .profile or .bashrc:

function EXT_COLOR () { echo -ne "\e[38;5;$1m"; } function CLOSE_COLOR () { echo -ne '\e[m'; } export PS1="\[`EXT_COLOR 187`\]\u@\h\[`CLOSE_COLOR`\]\[`EXT_COLOR 174`\] \w \$ \[`CLOSE_COLOR`\] > " export LS_COLORS='di=38;5;108:fi=00:*svn-commit.tmp=31:ln=38;5;116:ex=38;5;186'

enjoy!
