Hello Vim List,
Motivated by the stunningly poor readability of highlighting
group Pmenu (white on magenta or light-magenta), I looked
for ways to change the meaning of at least Pmenu and
PmenuSel. Their are no officially distributed colorschemes
that support all the new groups and only 3, of the 161
colorschemes in my vimfiles\colors, support all the new
groups (and 154 support none of them).
I found no way to change Gvim's default highlighting for
these groups. What I found is a mapping of the groups to
group names in the setting 'highlight'.
Just to see such things as dictionary search results, the
following appears to work fine for now (in _vimrc):
if v:version >= 700
set highlight-=+:Pmenu,=:PmenuSel
set highlight+=+:Visual,=:VisualNOS
endif
Ideally, maintainers of colorshemes should add support for
the new groups. These are the name of the new groups:
CursorColumn PmenuSel SpellRare
CursorLine PmenuThumb TabLine
MatchParen SpellBad TabLineFill
Pmenu SpellCap TabLineSel
PmenuSbar SpellLocal
Below I've listed the colorschemes in the official
distribution (as updated on the FTP site) and those I've
downloaded from the Vim Online site. The number appearing
before a colorscheme file is the number of new groups
supported (out of the 14 listed above).
Current Official Distribution
6 koehler.vim
2 delek.vim
2 evening.vim
2 morning.vim
The following support none of the new highlight groups:
blue.vim murphy.vim slate.vim
darkblue.vim pablo.vim torte.vim
default.vim peachpuff.vim zellner.vim
desert.vim ron.vim
elflord.vim shine.vim
From my 161 colorschemes in vimfiles\colors (obtained at Vim
Online):
14 candycode.vim
14 freya.vim
14 moria.vim
4 mint.vim
7 vi.vim
2 blink.vim
1 developer.vim
The other 154 support none of the new highlights.
If you are curious, I've listed them below my sig.
If anybody knows of a way to change to Gvim default
highlight group settings, please share this info.

Best regards,
Bill
