I am pleased to announce the first release of garden-vim, a dark, earthy theme primarily for GUI (gVim, neovim, and truecolor terminals.)

Screenshots, with airline:

The airline theme is designed to change only the leftmost background when changing modes. Changing the entire line seemed rather distracting.

Due to the limitations of the 256-color XTerm palette, there exists a 256-color theme, but it is not recommended. One should use :set termguicolors to activate truecolor rendering in terminal windows for the best experience. Alternatively, check if has('gui_running') to choose a different theme for the terminal in the else branch of your vimrc file:

if has('gui_running')
  colorscheme garden
else
  colorscheme desert
endif

Once again, the repository is github.com/sapphirecat/garden-vim.

Happy hacking!
