I have several screenshots of vim where the status line looks like this (specifically the triangle like backgrounds)

statusline example

The original poster claims this as the default.

However my vim status line looks like this by default (i have changed only the colorscheem to Tomorrow-Night)

enter image description here

How do I make my status line look more like the above.

I am using vim-gnome on Ubuntu 12.04

here you go:

https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline

It is a nice plugin. personally I tried and don't like this plugin... :(

even though vim questions are welcomed to SO, this one may go to superuser or some other channel....

  • It is not wrong: defaults from the screenshot are `vim-powerline` ones (in new powerline there would be pale `./` before file name, `+` colored by yellow, `NORMAL` in place of `N` and red (really gradient, but 100% is red) relative line position; everything may be adjusted to make powerlines indistinguashable, but that won’t be the defaults). It does not mean though that it is not deprecated; there are some known issues in `vim-powerline` that are not going to be ever fixed. – ZyX Apr 14 '13 at 19:37
