Really, Gerald, I think you put these screens shots up here just to draw
attention to your interesting backgrounds!

Hello
This is a good idea! I have a couple of suggestions:
(1) HiLink txtString Normal
The highlight for alphabetic text may be too strong if linked to
Identifier.
Yes, it is linked to Identifier. The point is that Normal text is
usually 'the weakest' color in set. And as for me it looks like
not-colored compared to others. So I linked it to Identifier and pair
txtString-txtComment looks nice for many colorsets. Although this
pair works well for Normal-Comment too. What colorscheme are you
testing with?

I use a modified Ron colorscheme. Well, the suggestion of linking to
Normal is merely my opinion :) As you can see from

and even
http://www.haze.ehost.pl/pub/vim/txt-dusk.png
colorschemes with a dark background and a bright Identifier can get a
little distracting for eyes in the long run. Yes, Normal may not be as
striking, and is usually the "weakest" set color as you put it, but
that's because it's meant to be the most common. Identifiers are meant
to stand out sparsely, so they're good for quick glances, but "burn
retinas" when read too much.
