Freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04 then built gvim 7.4 on it, I just discovered that the colors gvim picked were all wrong for the predefined color names, like the name "Green",See below:

For the color name "Green" I would expect the RGB value 0-255-0, but here I got 0-128-0. Below is the correct color on my last Ubuntu 12.04: http://bluegene8210.is-programmer.com/user_files/bluegene8210/Image/Screenshot%20from%202015-01-21%2010:42:02.png It's not just green color got messed with, likewise is many other colors. I tried building gvim using the same source I used on 12.04, where the color is right, but still no good. I also checked /etc/X11/rgb.txt, it looks ok, neither did :set background=dark in gvim seems have any effect. Recon my knowledge about the system level is very limited, please help, thanks. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
