Hello,
in my old gvim62 installation I do a few highlight commands in the
$VIM/_gvimrc:
highlight Comment guifg=DarkGreen guibg=background
...
Now in my new vim70 installation this seems to be overwritten somewhere.
The _gvimrc *is* sourced (- :scriptnames)
If I do the highlight command manually it works.
Where may the highlight be overwritten resp. where should I place the
highlight command instead?
Thank You

1. In Vim 7 (not in Vim 6), doing
:verbose highlight Comment
will tell you which script (if any) last changed that highlight.
2. If you use a colorscheme, any own-coded highlight settings should
of course come after the :colorscheme statement. (If you invoke the
colorscheme in your vimrc and these :highlight statements are in your
gvimrc, it should be OK.) Also after syntax on since the latter will
cause your colorscheme (if any) to be re-sourced and, in any case, the
highlight settings from your gvimrc will be lost.
3. It might be worth your while to make your own colorscheme. This will
make sure that any syntax on statement will invoke it.
3a. If you are already using a colorscheme: copy it into ~/.vim/colors
(on Unix) or into ~/vimfiles/colors (on Windows) under a different name,
but still with the .vim extension. Then add or change any :hi
statements to suit you, change the :let g:colors_name line to reflect
the new name, and alter the :colorscheme statement in your vimrc so
that this new colorscheme is invoked.
3b: If you aren't yet using a colorscheme: I'm attaching a simple one as
an example. Drop it in ~/.vim/colors or ~/vimfiles/colors (depending on
your OS) and proceed as in step 3a. _Add_ the line colorscheme
almost-default (or whatever) to your vimrc to invoke it.
Best regards,
Tony.

This is almost the default color scheme. It doesn't define the Normal
highlighting, it uses whatever the colors used to be.
Only the few highlight groups named below are defined; the rest (most of
them) are left at their compiled-in default settings.
Set 'background' back to the default. The value can't always be estimated
and is then guessed.
hi clear Normal
set bg
Remove all existing highlighting and set the defaults.
hi clear
Load the syntax highlighting defaults, if it's enabled.
if exists(syntax_on)
syntax reset
endif
Set our own highlighting settings
