# Colour Schemes
Color schemes created for Sublime Text 2 and Textmate created by Dayle Rees.
Hi there! My name's Dayle Rees and I'm one of the Laravel PHP framework core developers. Part of the Laravel mentality is that coding should be enjoyable for the coder, not just the client receiving your hard work. For this reaon I'd like to share with you a number of themes for some popular text editors that will hopefully be pleasing to your eyes, and allow you to enjoy the time you spend in front of the screen.
The themes in this package are currently compatible with Sublime Text 2, Textmate and VIM. I hope to add more editors in the near future.
## Installation
### Sublime Text 2
For the sublime text 2 editor the themes can be installed easily by using Package Control to install the 'Dayle Rees Colour Schemes' package from the official repository.
Otherwise, first find your Sublime Text 2 packages directory, you can find this by using the `Preferences -> Browse Packages` menu from within Sublime Text 2.
Now either create a `daylerees - themes` folder within this directory, and copy the contents of the github repository inside, or clone the repo using the GIT software within the packages directory :
git clone https://github.com/daylerees/colour-schemes.git daylerees-themes
Now simply use the `Color Schemes` option of your preferences menu to switch between themes, enjoy!
### Textmate
[ Coming Soon ] - Fork and add this information if you are a Textmate user!
### VIM
Download or clone with git, the themes into your `.vim` directory. Now edit your `.vimrc` file and add the following line.
colourscheme <scheme-name-here>
Save and launch vim to use, enjoy!
## The Themes
The editor used in the screenshots is [Sublime Text 2](http://www.sublimetext.com/) on Mac OSX with the font [Source Code Pro](http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2012/09/source-code-pro.html).
