Solarized Theme in Terminal Vim on Xubuntu

  • 772

I recently setup my laptop with Xubuntu 13.04 and after installing and setting up all my dotfiles, which have previously worked fine with Ubuntu 13.04 with XFCE installed, my colorscheme in Vim is using the wrong colors.

I dropped the terminalrc file from the Solarized repository in ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc and setup my dotfiles (which can be found at http://github.com/davejlong/dotfiles).

Here is a screen shot of my Temrinal when I open a file in Vim: enter image description here

Here is the contents of ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc:

    In the version of xfce4-terminal on Raring you should set this variable in your terminalrc:

    ColorPalette=#073642;#dc322f;#859900;#b58900;#205b92;#d33682;#2aa198;#eee8d5;#002b36;#cb4b16;#586e75;#657b83;#839496;#6c71c4;#004fae;#fdf6e3

    Please append this line to your terminalrc and see if it works. Apparently the xfce4-terminal devs are changing the syntax for terminalrc. (Notice most of this colors are "half" of the numbered ones).

    Here are the contents of my terminalrc. (First notice I am using Anonymous Pro for my font, change the corresponding line to use your favorite font.)
