I'd be surprised if many people used several different schemes. The point of having color schemes with names is that you can share them with others. Or just to know that you're loading the correct scheme when moving between systems. I would also be surprised if most people created their own schemes from scratch. It's much easier to start with a named scheme[1] and modify it, if you really want to.

That's roughly my preference too, so I use the 'dual' scheme (actually a version modified to work w/ 256-color terminals, but same difference). When writing code, not much shows up as black, but when composing email, most text is black. -- Best, Ben -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
