I am an emacs user trying out vim. On the console the font highlighting looks good.
But on X11 I get a white background an then it looks ugly and I can not read most of the syntax highlighting. I have the following in my .vimrc """"""""""""""""""" Colour support and syntax highlighting """"""""""""""""""" if $COLORTERM == "rxvt" set term=rxvt endif if &term == "rxvt" set t_Co=8 set ttyfast endif " Colours suitable for a dark background, which is what my Linux console, " xterms and rxvts are configured to have. set background=dark syntax on """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" How can I get readable syntax highlighting in both cases?
