When I type :colorscheme eric it says E185: Can not find colorscheme eric


":colorscheme eric" loads (on Windows, with the default 'runtimepath') the

The script should set g:colors_name to "eric".

1 and 5 are for "private" single-user files, 2 and 4 for "system-wide" 
files (which all users will see identically on multiuser system), 3 for 
whatever is distributed together with Vim (and users shouldn't meddle with 
it, as any upgrade can silently erase any changes you make there).



When I type echo g:colors_name it says undefined variable
When I type :colorscheme print_bw it switches to this scheme
When I type echo g:colors_name it says print_bw

Copying the print_bw file to print_bw2.vim and changing only the line

The ":scriptnames" command will tell you exactly which scripts were 
sourced, and in which sequence.

Colour files should go into the vimfiles/colors directory,


Yes.

and needs to be named according to the filetype you want it to be used 
for.  For instance, sql.vim will be loaded for .sql files.


No (see below).

You can further specify what filetype to use for a file by creating a 
filetypes.vim file in the vimfiles/ftdetect directory.


... a filetype.vim file in a directory in 'runtimepath', *and/or* one or 
more Vim script(s) of _any_ name in the ftdetect subdirectory of a 
directory in 'runtimepath'.



For more info about this, see

:help ftdetect

Also,

:help syntax


and also (more important)
:help :colorscheme



Hope that helps



The files in the colors directory are what is called color schemes in Vim 
parlance, and correspond to what would be called "themes" or "skins" in 
other programs. Their names bear *no relation* to the files to be edited 
with them. Vim never loads them automatically but only as a result of the 
":colorscheme " command, which is roughly equivalent to ":runtime 
colors/.vim" where .vim is the name of an arbitrary 
colorscheme script.


The highlight groups to use for files of a given syntax are in the syntax 
subdirectory of directories in 'runtimepath', and they may define default 
colors for highlight groups not predefined in Vim, by using ":highlight 
default" commands (see ":help :highlight-default").

Absolutely.  I had my syntax file and colorschemes info mixed up.  I 
hope the OP reads your corrections.  _Syntax_ files need to be named 
according to their application (language), whereas colorscheme files are 
used to change the colours of text _according_to_the_syntax_ file 
definition.  The colorscheme effectively is applied over the syntax 
definition.


Indeed. This also means that ":syntax on" reloads the current colorscheme (if 
any, or sets the default colours if none), which may explain why Eric didn't 
see his colour highlights.


Note that since many syntax scripts define their color highlight groups by 
"linking" them to the default groups, setting highlights for said default 
groups will usually go a long way towards colouring everything. (For instance, 
by default the colours of the "Comment" group are reused for cComment, 
htmlComment, vimComment, etc., so unless you want to use different colours for 
each of these -- which IMHO would be rather pointless -- you can content 
yourself with defining Comment highlights and the various Comment 
groups will all be set to that.)




":help :colorscheme"  indeed.
The OP is talking about a colorscheme file though (the first part, 
defining highlight groups), which should be placed in vimfiles/colors.  
As for the guifont setting, I personally do it in my vimrc file, but 
afaik it should work in a colorscheme file as well.


 From what I can see, the highlight settings are loaded into a 
colorscheme (which will have the name of the .vim file containing them), 
so by running


:colorscheme 

your highlight groups will get set, Eric.  First move your file into the 
vimfiles/colors directory to avoid unpredictable results.

Tony.

Maybe you are setting your colors too early. Try writing a colorscheme 
instead, then invoking it with the ":colorscheme" command (q.v.). I'm 
attaching my "almost-default" colorscheme as a relatively simple source of 
inspiration.


Colorscheme scripts live in the "colors" subdirectory of directories in 
'runtimepath', for instance in:

(user-private on Linux) ~/.vim/colors/
(user-private on Windows) ~/vimfiles/colors/
(system-wide on any platform) $VIM/vimfiles/colors/

color loading sequence in GVIM

[Eric Leenman]

Hi,

I'm doing a reinstall of gvim and placing my color and font setting in a 
seperate file in the plugin.

This file is located in: "C:\Program Files\Vim\vimfiles\plugin"
And it contains the following:
[START OF FILE]
:hi Commentctermfg=darkgreen  gui=None guifg=darkgreen
:hi Statement  ctermfg=blue   gui=None guifg=blue
:hi Identifier ctermfg=darkredgui=None guifg=darkred
:hi PreProcctermfg=blue   gui=None guifg=darkblue
:hi Type   ctermfg=darkgray   gui=None guifg=darkgray
:hi Constant   ctermfg=redgui=None guifg=red

" GUI font instellingen
set guifont=courier:h7:w7
[END OF FILE]


What now happens is that the font is taken over but the colors aren't
For example:
When I type :hi Comment
vim returns:
Comment   xxx term=bold ctermfg=1 guifg=Blue

What do I do wrong?

Regards,
Eric
