Sounds like you are being forced to use old versions of vim (i.e. pre-6) which don't support color schemes. If upgrading is not an option, you can either jump through hoops to set colors (an excercise in cut and paste from my color scheme files - all the coloring is standard to older versions it's just the loading mechanism that's new), or do without as you have done. * Gary Thornock [Thu, 20 Mar 2003 at 09:15 -0700] <quote> > =20 > Quoth Derek Davis: > > On Thu, Mar 20, 2003 at 07:11:14AM -0700, Stuart Jansen said: > > > On Thu, 2003-03-20 at 00:08, Gary Thornock wrote: > > > > My main complaint with the color coded editing is that the > > > > default colors are unreadable (indeed, often nearly invisible) > > > > against the black background in my terminal window.
