Hi!
Yes, your vimrc file should be executed first. I am still curious
about the result of
:verbose hi Constant
Last set by C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\syntax\syncolor.vim
Along with
:scriptnames
This should give some clues as to what is going on.
1: C:\Programme\Vim\_vimrc
2: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\filetype.vim
3: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\menu.vim
4: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\lang\menu_de.latin1.vim
5: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\lang\menu_de_de.latin1.vim
6: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\autoload\paste.vim
7: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\ftplugin.vim
8: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\indent.vim
9: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\syntax\syntax.vim
10: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\syntax\synload.vim
11: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\syntax\syncolor.vim
12: C:\Programme\Vim\vimfiles\plugin\matchit.vim
13: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\plugin\getscript.vim
14: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\plugin\gzip.vim
15: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\plugin\matchparen.vim
16: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\plugin\netrwPlugin.vim
17: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\plugin\rrhelper.vim
18: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\plugin\spellfile.vim
19: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\plugin\tarPlugin.vim
20: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\plugin\tohtml.vim
21: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\plugin\vimballPlugin.vim
22: C:\Programme\Vim\vim70e\plugin\zipPlugin.vim
23: C:\Programme\Vim\_gvimrc
:verbose set background
just shows "background=light"
yet? If it is set to "dark" at the start of your vimrc file, this will
probably not tell you much ... but if it does tell you anything, it will
be worth knowing. Have you checked vim 6.4 and 7.0 for system vimrc and
gvimrc files? (See :version output for where vim will look for these.)
I have only one vimrc and one gvimrc file. Both, vim 6.4 and 7.0, use
them. The value of 'background' differs. I have put your debug line as
the second line in vimrc right after "set nocompatible".
:help 'background'
Ok, I have read it again and it becomes clearer to me every time I read it.
points out that vim cannot reliably guess the right value and suggests
setting it in your vimrc file. Maybe it is simpler to do this than to
figure out what is affecting the default value.
You are right. In the meantime I have made a color scheme which works. I
got confused because of the different behavior of Vim 6.4 and 7.0. Now I
know a little how it is like to be Don Quijote.
Many thanks for your help!
Best wishes,
Georg
