Larry It helps to be clear about what you have typed and what vim responds, as in :hi search Search xxx term=reverse ctermfg=0 ctermbg=14 guibg=Yellow instead of mixing your comments (such as results of ... is and (orangy) 14 is ltyellow. I suggest using :redir and the :Echo command from foo.vim, my file of example vim functions: http://www.vim.org/script.php?script_id=72 I am guessing that you are using vim, not gvim. If I ma right, then chaining guibg is not going to help. Try :hi Search ctermbg=14 instead. :help :hi in general and :help highlight-args in particular. HTH --Benji Fisher

Sometimes, manually :set t_Co=16 does the trick, if that works for you, then just do it. But it may not work. If you still want a light background, there're several solutions: 1. Get a terminal emulator with fully 16-color support, or even 256-color terminal emulator which has support for ctermbg = 8. --- this works for yourself. 2. Do not use ctermbg = 8 when designing color schemes. Note this is important if you want your color scheme portable, because many terminal emulators cannot have light background. --- this works for everyone. HTH. -- Sincerely, Pan, Shi Zhu. ext: 2606
