afterimage.vim

Edit ICO, PNG, and GIF icons. No really. They're converted with ImageMagick to XPM, a plain text image format with beautiful syntax highlighting in GUI versions of Vim. Here, it's easier just to show you:

Installation

If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend installing pathogen.vim, and then simply copy and paste:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-afterimage.git

Once help tags have been generated, you can view the manual with :help afterimage.
