Quoting Clint Byrum ([email protected]): > This bug was filed fairly recently: > > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/871907 > > I tend to think that its a bit confusing why we default to a light > background setting in vim, when our default terminals all are dark. > > I have not checked on any of the other flavors of Ubuntu, but at least > on our main desktop configuration, all terminals have a dark background. > > This seems like a no-brainer, so I was thinking of uploading a fix before > FeatureFreeze, but I wanted to open up the discussion a bit wider in > case there are people who feel that this might be too radical of a change. > > The change would be simple.. vim defaults to a light background, so in > the default vimrc for precise, we'd change it to have background=dark. > > I have CC'd ubuntu-server, because I'm certain there are a lot of users > of non-Ubuntu desktop platforms who ssh into Ubuntu servers, and would > possibly be affected by this, whether negatively or positively.
