Hi,
Following your comments, I've converted my file to a scheme and placed it in
C:\Program Files\Vim\vimfiles\colors
For testing I also placed a bw.vim and a print_bw.vim in it.
The problem now is that it doesn't get loaded.
When I type :colorscheme eric it says E185: Can not find colorscheme eric
When I type echo g:colors_name it says undefined variable
When I type :colorscheme print_bw it switches to this scheme
When I type echo g:colors_name it says print_bw
Copying the print_bw file to print_bw2.vim and changing only the line
let g:colors_name = "blabla"
gives also the same errors with my ëric"scheme
Why
Rgds,
Eric

Hi,
I'm doing a reinstall of gvim and placing my color and font setting in
a seperate file in the plugin.
This file is located in: "C:\Program Files\Vim\vimfiles\plugin"
And it contains the following:
[START OF FILE]
:hi Comment ctermfg=darkgreen gui=None guifg=darkgreen
:hi Statement ctermfg=blue gui=None guifg=blue
:hi Identifier ctermfg=darkred gui=None guifg=darkred
:hi PreProc ctermfg=blue gui=None guifg=darkblue
:hi Type ctermfg=darkgray gui=None guifg=darkgray
:hi Constant ctermfg=red gui=None guifg=red
" GUI font instellingen
set guifont=courier:h7:w7
[END OF FILE]
What now happens is that the font is taken over but the colors aren't
For example:
When I type :hi Comment
vim returns:
Comment xxx term=bold ctermfg=1 guifg=Blue
What do I do wrong?
Regards,
Eric

Colour files should go into the vimfiles/colors directory,
Yes.
and needs to be named according to the filetype you want it to be used
for. For instance, sql.vim will be loaded for .sql files.
No (see below).
You can further specify what filetype to use for a file by creating a
filetypes.vim file in the vimfiles/ftdetect directory.
... a filetype.vim file in a directory in 'runtimepath', *and/or* one or
more Vim script(s) of _any_ name in the ftdetect subdirectory of a
directory in 'runtimepath'.
For more info about this, see
:help ftdetect
Also,
:help syntax
and also (more important)
:help :colorscheme
Hope that helps
The files in the colors directory are what is called color schemes in Vim
parlance, and correspond to what would be called "themes" or "skins" in
other programs. Their names bear *no relation* to the files to be edited
with them. Vim never loads them automatically but only as a result of the
":colorscheme <name>" command, which is roughly equivalent to ":runtime
colors/<name>.vim" where <name>.vim is the name of an arbitrary
colorscheme script.
The highlight groups to use for files of a given syntax are in the syntax
subdirectory of directories in 'runtimepath', and they may define default
colors for highlight groups not predefined in Vim, by using ":highlight
default" commands (see ":help :highlight-default").
Absolutely. I had my syntax file and colorschemes info mixed up. I hope
the OP reads your corrections. _Syntax_ files need to be named according
to their application (language), whereas colorscheme files are used to
change the colours of text _according_to_the_syntax_ file definition. The
colorscheme effectively is applied over the syntax definition.
Indeed. This also means that ":syntax on" reloads the current colorscheme
(if any, or sets the default colours if none), which may explain why Eric
didn't see his colour highlights.
Note that since many syntax scripts define their color highlight groups by
"linking" them to the default groups, setting highlights for said default
groups will usually go a long way towards colouring everything. (For
instance, by default the colours of the "Comment" group are reused for
cComment, htmlComment, vimComment, etc., so unless you want to use
different colours for each of these -- which IMHO would be rather pointless
-- you can content yourself with defining Comment highlights and the
various <something>Comment groups will all be set to that.)
":help :colorscheme" indeed.
The OP is talking about a colorscheme file though (the first part,
defining highlight groups), which should be placed in vimfiles/colors. As
for the guifont setting, I personally do it in my vimrc file, but afaik it
should work in a colorscheme file as well.
From what I can see, the highlight settings are loaded into a
colorscheme (which will have the name of the .vim file containing them),
so by running
:colorscheme <filename>
your highlight groups will get set, Eric. First move your file into the
vimfiles/colors directory to avoid unpredictable results.
Best regards,
Tony.
