Vim colorschemes but with pitch-black background

To match the whole dark scheme of my work space, I made some modifications to a few vim colorschemes that I use on a daily basis to have a complete pitch black background. Colorschemes modified are;

• Iceberg

• Gruvbox

• Gruvbox-material

• Substrata

Patch changes in-case you have the default colorschemes

It's makes sense to use the patch command to apply changes if you happen to have these colorschemes prior, rather than doing it by hand, for example, to patch iceberg.vim, you'd have to diff the changes to a file, say iceberg.diff, like so;

diff -u iceberg.vim iceberg-dark.vim > /path/to/iceberg.diff

Then, apply the patches with;

patch < /path/to/iceberg.diff

Replacing gruvbox-material

The gruvbox-material has to be placed in two places, one under the plugin directory and one with regular colorschemes. The gruvbox_material.vim needs to be placed under plugins directory, and the gruvbox-material.vim with the regular colorschemes under /usr/share/vim/vim81/colors/

Enjoy!
