Website should include a list of available color schemes

[mikepc]

The theming documentation isn't very helpful for new users in customizing their color scheme.

The mission of the project "Mouse-free productivity with the perks of modern code editors. Open-source, cross-platform, and easy to learn."

Changing one's color scheme is a very basic thing that all modern editors do, and I know that oni is capable of it, but actually executing the customization in Oni implies the user has basic foundation in customizing vim/neovim, and in my case at least, some users simply don't have that foundation.

Personally, I usually choose from one of the default themes that I like/am in the mood for, and then just use that. I'm having to do a significant amount of work to even find what the possible values for "ui.colorscheme" are. This really is a documentation bug.

I can understand not providing a fancy UI to set this value, but we should provide at least a list of available themes. This may be in the documentation somewhere, but it's not obvious and, in my opinion, it should be.

Hello and welcome to the Oni repository! Thanks for opening your first issue here. To help us out, please make sure to include as much detail as possible - including screenshots and logs, if possible.

To customize my color scheme I installed https://github.com/flazz/vim-colorschemes just like the documentation states.

I now have all of the following colorschemes to play with:

Sorry for the missing documentation!

As you've found, we support any vim theme, and the Oni UI will guess colours for the Oni specific parts. There are also some Oni modified themes where the Oni UI has had the colours picked manually, which you can find listed in the command pallete which is Control/Cmd Shift P under themes.

Some people have experienced flickering when using that menu, but the themes all work as expected on restart, once added to your oni config.
