Add weakblack colorscheme

[A4-Tacks]

This is a black and white colorscheme, dark only

• Mainly targeting GUI and 256 colors, but also supporting 16 colors
• Similar colorschemes include 'quiet', but it has too little highlighting and high contrast

[habamax]

Thanks. Could you please:

• Normalize file names? weakblack.colortemplate
• Target 8 colors terminals too

[A4-Tacks]

• Target 8 colors terminals too

Working under 8 colors will be very abnormal

QuickfixLine and Search are the same:

Visual and QuickfixLine:

It shouldnt' be perfect, but readable under 8c.

[A4-Tacks]

Visual and QuickfixLine:

This seems to be readable

[A4-Tacks]

It shouldnt' be perfect, but readable under 8c.

It seems that only one 16 colors can be specified. Is there a way to define colors conditionally?

For example, if 16 colors, w9=8, and if 8 colors, w9=7

Due to the black and white colorscheme, 4 colors are used in 16 colors, but the 2 colors in 8 colors seem completely meaningless

And that is the hard part, it should be readable in 8c with a lot of compromises, e.g. for syntax only statements, comments and constants/strings.

Is there a way to do this? Otherwise, a large number of difficult to maintain highlight groups will be defined

I am not sure what do you mean. But you can specify what color to use:

Visual                  color14        color00        reverse
 /gui                   none           colorV
 /256+tgc true          omit           omit
 /8                     color06        color00        reverse

[A4-Tacks]

What I mean is like this:

Color: w3  /8       #303030     ~       0

But it not work

[habamax]

Please also define Titlebar and TitlebarNC otherwise in windows gvim it blends with background:

You can probably take it from quiet or other dark colorschemes.

Color: w3  /8       #303030     ~       0

no, but you can define different colors and use them conditionally in highlight definition

Color: w3 ...
Color: w3_8 ...

Statement w3    none
 /8       w3_8  none

Oh, it's quite troublesome to maintain, I hope it can be improved in the future

[habamax]

I have checked again Visual/QuickfixLine and I believe is not readable enough (gui version), at least for me. Let's see what @romainl's opinion is.

I didn't find it in dark

They are recent ones, from a couple of months ago, @lifepillar haven't added them yet.

Titlebar looks nice

TitlebarNC could be more distinguishable:

[A4-Tacks]

It looks good, is there anything wrong

It shouldn't be the same color as normal background.

Given this colorscheme is grayscale, what is the justification for the transparent Visual highlight?

Currently it conflicts with at least 2 other highlights: Search and QuickfixLine:

But if the Visual would have the foreground, it would be just fine:

Low contrast, smoother

16c diff colors:

• diffadd is unreadable
• difftext is quite hard to find

Same with 256 colors:

[habamax]

don't forget to add

; Template for black & white terminals
Include: _tcozero

At the end of you colortemplate.

[A4-Tacks]

Same with 256 colors:

This is the expected color

yes, that is for the reference to compare with 16c screenshot.
