These set colors for use in gui mode (i.e. gvim). If you're using (text mode) vim from Konsole or another xterm equivalent, you'll want to do something like the highlight command below. hi Normal ctermfg=LightGray ctermbg=Black cterm=NONE The way to produce specific colors can vary depending on your terminal. If you're using konsole-16color, for example, bright foreground colors and bright background colors can be specified as BrightBlue for example. On some terminals bright foreground colors have to be specified using cterm=bold and bright backgrounds are not available. In a couple terminals, bright backgrounds can be achieved by using the blink attribute (cygwin and putty for example). If anyone is interested, I've hacked together a terminfo addendum to make this simpler. Do a :h hi for more complete docs. You can place your custom colors in a file ~/.vim/colors/whatever.vim. Start that file with: let g:colors_name="whatever" hi clear And fill the rest with your highlighting commands. Then you can put "color whatever" in your .vimrc, or type :color whatever in vim to load your color file. If you want to see the same colors in your xterm as you do on the console (which I think is nice), here are the hex equivalents to configure your xterm with. These are the colors that date to prehistoric times: 0: Black #000000 1: DarkRed #AA0000 2: DarkGreen #00AA00 3: Brown #AA5500 4: DarkBlue #0000AA 5: DarkMagenta #AA00AA 6: DarkCyan #00AAAA 7: LightGray #AAAAAA 8: DarkGray #555555 9: LightRed #FF5555 10: LightGreen #55FF55 11: Yellow #FFFF55 12: LightBlue #5555FF 13: LightMagenta #FF55FF 14: LightCyan #55FFFF 15: White #FFFFFF _______________________________________________________ Sent through e-mol.
