X-Git-Url: https://git.madduck.net/etc/vim.git/commitdiff_plain/0b2f7e52830a48089ff4d762633c69b8d15142a3?hp=-c

Create a variant with dimmed colours for the people which find the used colours to strong - kudos to madduck on #vim
You can activate that dimmed variant with `let g:artesanal_dimmed=1`.
The option to make the background transparent is renamed to `g:artesanal_transparent`
