random_colorscheme.vim

Load a random colorscheme for every new (neo)vim session.

Installation

• This plugin needs (neo)vim to be compiled with either python2 or python3.
• Use your favourite plugin manager to load this plugin.
• Vim-Plug:

  Plug 'Sammyalhashe/random_colorscheme.vim'
  

Usage

• The default behaviour of this plugin is to open a random colorscheme for every new instance of (neo)vim.
  • If you want to disable this behaviour, in your vimrc or init.vim put let g:random_scheme = 0.
  • NOTE: if you disable this default option, make sure to set the g:default_theme to your favourite colorscheme. By default, g:default_theme='default', which is the default vim colorscheme.

Airline Integration

• This plugin can also select a random Airline theme as well.
• By default, this option is turned off as it is assumed most people don't have Airline.
• If you want this option, put let g:airline_integration = 1 in your configuration file.
• It only loads the default dark Airline theme at first. See the below options to change this behaviour.
