programmable colors

[mturquette]

I like my text interfaces to be pretty and, in particular, solarized. While my default vim and terminal emulator configurations do a good job of using the solarized color palette, I would prefer to have more control over how the folder, search and show buffers display their colorized text. In particular I would like to color code threads in the search buffer based on tags (unread, to-me, flagged, etc).

Does vim provide all that I need to do this today or does notmuch-vim need some for this?

One solution is to create syntax files in ~/.vim/after/syntax and simply assign new values to the identifiers you want to change.
E.g. open ~/.vim/after/syntax/notmuch-folders.vim and put this line there:
"""
highlight link nmFoldersSearch Comment
"""
(Default is String)
Have a look at the shipped syntax files for possible identifiers.
