To chime in here, there still appears to be the problem that Vim doesn't understand that the terminal is capable of displaying 256 colors *unless* one explicitly sets 'set t_Co=256' in ~/.vimrc. I don't know if Byobu can do anything about that but it seems Vim only understands 256 colors if the TERM variable contains a string like "256color". At least according to http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/256_colors_in_vim if I understood it correctly.
I can provide screenshots if that helps. Using byobu version 5.15, tmux 1.5. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908766 Title: byobu-tmux changes background color in applications To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/byobu/+bug/908766/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
