This depends on the color scheme you are using. If the maintainer does not update his color scheme, a default value is chosen. Sure. I use the default colour scheme though. I would have expected it to be updated for this new feature. thanks, Pádraig. The "default" colorscheme mentions no groups, it merely orders Vim to reset all groups whatsoever to their built-in defaults, so there is no need to update it. It's when you want to set _different_ colors than the built-in defaults that a ":hi" line is needed in the colorscheme. It is even possible to leave different groups at their default values depending on whether you run in the GUI or in a console: for instance: hi MatchParen ctermbg=blue hi Search gui=NONE guibg=Yellow guifg=Black leaves MatchParen at its default in the GUI, and Search at its default in console Vim. Best regards, Tony.

This depends on the color scheme you are using. If the maintainer does not update his color scheme, a default value is chosen.

Re: MatchParen unreadable on dark backgrounds
I don't think any single colorscheme defines MatchParen. I haven't seen any single colorscheme that define MatchParen. Do they ? Of the color schemes, which are in the distribution, only koehler defines it. Of the others at vim.org, at least inkpot, xterm16, and my own color scheme (moria) define MatchParen. Since MatchParen is new in Vim 7, all color schemes which have not been updated yet don't define it. Best wishes, Georg ___ Try the all-new Yahoo! Mail.

I haven't seen any single colorscheme that define MatchParen. Do they ? Yakov Well, maybe it's time to write your own colourscheme, based on the one you already use (if you do) or on the "default" one (if you don't) and with something like if &bg == "dark" hi MatchParen ctermbg=blue guibg=blue endif in it. No doubt you will expand on it in the future, as you tweak more highlight colours. Give your new colorscheme a unique name (let's say georgdahn for example's sake) followed by the .vim extension common to Vim scripts, and store it at one of the following places: $VIM/vimfiles/colors/georgdahn.vim system-wide on any platform $HOME/vimfiles/colors/georgdahn.vim user-private on Windows $HOME/.vim/colors/georgdahn.vim user-private on Unix (i.e., in the colors/ subdirectory of one of the directory trees named early in the 'runtimepath' option, but NOT in the tree headed by $VIMRUNTIME because any upgrade can silently add, delete or modify anything there). (creating any required not-yet-existing directory in the process); then add the line colorscheme georgdahn to your vimrc. Note that it is not recursive: a colorscheme may NOT use the :colorscheme command to invoke (and possibly modify) a different colorscheme. Best regards, Tony.

Re: MatchParen unreadable on dark backgrounds
I use dark backgrounds (and therefore a light coloured foreground colour). As a consequence the new MatchParen highlight that is enabled by default in vim 7 is unreadable/annoying. I need to put the following in my ~/.vimrc to fix it: highlight MatchParen ctermbg=blue guibg=blue Shouldn't the above be done automatically when one does set bg=dark ? This depends on the color scheme you are using. If the maintainer does not update his color scheme, a default value is chosen. If the background is darkcyan, the highlight is not visible, of course, if the background is blue, then your value is a bad choice. Best wishes, Georg ___ All new Yahoo!
