Thanks again. If you've seen my last report post I find commenting
out this line:
hi StatusLine term=reverse cterm=reverse ctermfg=99 ctermbg=8
in an `if &background == "dark"' if/else statement makes vim come up
with the StatusLine color I expect. (Full code follows my message)
What is confusing here as far as understanding why this is so:
With that line commented `verbose hi StatusLine' shows:
With line Commented:
StatusLine xxx term=bold,reverse cterm=bold,reverse gui=bold guifg=White
guibg=Black
And vim looks like I want it to. Now the confusing part:
==================================
With test line uncommented:
StatusLine xxx term=reverse cterm=reverse ctermfg=99 ctermbg=8 gui=bold
guifg=White guibg=Black
Here I now have a purple StatusLine that obscures the line number and
position info.
==============================
Now if I re-source `:so ~/.vimrc' from my running vim, that purple
StatusLine disappears and is now a beige color where the line number
and position can be seen.
So I'd expect :verbose hi StatusLine to show something different now.
But it doesn't:
Re-sourced after start when test line is uncommented at start:
StatusLine xxx term=reverse cterm=reverse ctermfg=99 ctermbg=8 gui=bold
guifg=White guibg=Black
Last set from ~/.vimrc
Full code. Test line has 2 asterisks :
set background=dark
if &background == "dark"
hi StatusLineNC term=reverse cterm=reverse ctermfg=7 ctermbg=0
