Hi,
I'm new to VIM and trying to find a colorscheme I like.
I've installed the ColorScheme Scroller plugin (:SCROLL / :COLOR). I have
noticed that when I used the :colorscheme zenburn (whatever) command, the
color scheme never displays correctly. The same if I put a colorscheme line
in my vimrc file in order to get it to load on startup.
/However/, it does /sometimes/ work properly if I get to the colorscheme by
scrolling through all the options after using the :SCROLL plugin. I can't
find any rhyme or reason to this. Most of the time it doesn't work, but
sometimes, for some reason, it comes up looking right. (two I have noticed
this with are zenburn and summerfruit256).
Is it possible that cycling through all the other color schemes, one of them
somehow "resets" my terminal colors, or does something else that enables the
schemes to be displayed properly?
Any solutions?
I'm no expert in color schemes, but in my experience of getting my
own color scheme to work consistently across a variety of platforms
and when switching among color schemes, I found that the behavior of
my color scheme was very sensitive to the order of the initial
commands to reset and clear colors. It could be that zenburn.vim is
missing some of those commands or has them in the wrong order. You
might open that file alongside one of the files from
$VIMRUNTIME/colors and check those initial commands. I'd look at it
myself but I don't have a copy of zenburn.vim.
I don't use zenburn myself, although I do have it. It looks like it has
a pretty standard startup.
However, it does have a number of if..endif blocks that presumably can
cause things to differ.
:echo &t_Co
There's a "Kurt block" of commands that that take place if &t_Co > 255
if g:zenburn_high_Contrast exists, then there's more differences.
if g:zenburn_alternate_Error exists, ditto.
if g:zenburn_force_dark_Background exists, ditto.
if g:zenburn_high_Contrast exists, ditto.
etc.
So, when you :colors zenburn , do you have any of these g:zenburn...
options set? Are any of them set by the :SCROLL plugin? How about when
its "displaying properly?"

Chip Campbell
