dotfiles

Everyone knows linux stuff is totally customizable -- but what I figured out was that a lot of the configuration options are in hidden 'dotfiles'! I wanted to give cygwin a dark theme, so here's the most basic dark theme for vim and xterm

vim using .vimrc

" Example .vimrc here http://www.vi-improved.org/vimrc.php
" Vim colorschemes generator http://inspiration.sweyla.com/code/
" {
set background=dark " we plan to use a dark background
colorscheme inspiration907827
syntax on " syntax highlighting on
" }

xterm using .Xdefaults

XTerm*Background: black
XTerm*Foreground: grey
XTerm*utf8: 1
