VIM Syntax Colors

VIM Syntax Colors

[Barry Buchbinder / Isabelle Trocheris]

In Win98, I use both Cygwin vim under bash and dos vim (from
vim58d32.zip) under command.com in a DOS box.  The colors generated by
syntax files are different in the two environments.  I would prefer that
Cygwin vim look like DOS vim.  I've played around a bit: the syntax
files seem to have identical contents (cmp showed a difference but diff
didn't) and the value of $TERM doesn't seem to make any difference. 
Does anyone know a simple way to change this without recompiling?  If
not, a way to do it when recompiling?

Thanks,

- Barry Buchbinder

Under cygwin the vim colors are controlled by the file

/usr/share/vim/vim57/syntax/synload.vim

You could modify this file or override this mapping in
you .vimrc file.

RE: VIM Syntax Colors

[Lee]

I use Vim on a variety of different machines and on a few different
platforms. I found the colours in cygwin to be a bit too dark. Instead of
figuring out how to remap the colours in the .vimrc I put this in instead:

set background=dark
syntax on

Even if you have previously set the syntax to be on, or if not, you must
do it after the background setting. This will force vim to set the colours
that are better suited for dark backgrounds and not force vim to have a
dark background. Now the colours look pretty much identical in DOS and
cygwin.


Hope that helps.

Hi Barry,

I have a text mount from /usr/share/vim to c:\program files\vim. This allows
me to share all those files with the standard Windows version especially
gvim. I just have to take care, that I will always use the same version of
vim for WIndows and Cygwin.

Greetings,
Jorg
