Changing spell check colors
Using spell check in a terminal window hightlights some words with a bright green background and white text. I find this hard to read (I'm using a dark background and I have set background=dark in my .vimrc). Is it possible to override the the spell check color scheme, and if so, can someone please point me in the direction of what I need to look at? Thanx!

You need to define following highlighting groups: SpellBad SpellCap SpellRare SpellLocal For example, in my setup SpellBad is defined as SpellBad xxx term=reverse ctermbg=1 gui=undercurl guisp=Red -- shows as gray on red background To learn how to write your own :highlight commands 1) :highlight - instructive, shows existing highlight groups :hi 2) :help :hi 3) To check how Spell-related groups are defined: :hi SpellBad :hi SpellCap :hi SpellRare :hi SpellLocal Yakov

If you use the following plugin: http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=1081 and then type :help hicolors you'll see each highlighting color name in its own colors. This list includes SpellBad SpellCap SpellLocal SpellRare If you then right click on any of the names, a colorscheme editor will pop up for that color. Edit it, save it, use it!
