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 somethingComment 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.

Re: color loading sequence in GVIM
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 ëricscheme
Why

Eric
