Hello,
Since Konsole in KDE 3.5.4 supports 256 colors it could be nice if
Vim could use them. Is any way to convince Vim to use guibg/guifg from
syntax files in console?
If I understand correctly one problem is to map the 256 available
colors to the 64K or 16M colors available in the gui.
So just changing the keywords in the color scheme is not enough.
Thanks

I notice that in vim (7.0.42, Huge version with GTK2-GNOME GUI) run in
console mode in "Konsole 1.5 (Using kde 3.4.0 Level "b" SUSE 9.3)",
'term' and $TERM are set to xterm, t_Co is set to 8, which means that
Vim believes that only 8 colors are available. ":runtime
syntax/colortest.vim" shows, however, 8 background colours but 16
foreground colours.
Under ":help xfree-xterm" there is (28 lines lower) a paragraph starting
"For 256 colors this has been reported to work:". Have you tried that?
(You would of course have to set t_Co to 256 and make sure that your
particular version of konsole can really display 256 different colours
at the same time.)
I suppose that in these settings, <Esc> is actually one character, not
five (hit Ctrl-V followed by Esc, it should appear as ^[ in the typed text).
Then you would have to use ctermfg= ctermbg= with *numbers* between 0
and 255 inclusive. You might want to make a test file to highlight
itself with all those colours, just as syntax/colortest.vim does with
the 16 usual RGBI colours. You might also want to set X resources for
all of Xterm*color0 to Xterm*color255 as shown (for 16 colors) at the
above-mentioned place in the help. These X resources will then (if your
konsole uses them) establish the mapping from the 256 numbers 0-255 to
256 of the 16M (2^12) colors theoretically mappable in the #xxxxxx
notation (where each x is a hex digit).
