ABOUT

Vimbrant began as a dark and vibrant colourscheme for the vim text editor, and is based on the molokai vim colorscheme.

At some point I incorporated the general colourscheme into my Xdefaults and then went about creating compatible themes for my daily console applications, including:

* mutt (email)
* moc (music on console)
* ncmpc (mpd client)
* vifm (file manager)
* midnight commander (file manager)

From the vim colorscheme

Vim color file Scriptname: vimbrant Author: Thayer Williams <thayer.cinderwick.ca> Description: A vibrant light-on-dark colorscheme with support for GUI, 256-color and 16-color terminals and optional transparency

Based on the molokai theme by Tomas Restrepo, which in turn is based on the monokai theme for textmate by Wimer Hazenberg and its darker variant by Hamish Stuart Macpherson. A big thanks to these individuals for making what are some of the best color schemes ever.

For optimal 16-color experience, add the following to ~/.bashrc:
