Would you be satisfied with changing the background color for spaces? Step 1:
:hi and look for a pleasing color. I am not using the GUI right now, and it looks as though my choices are limited. (Many groups change the foreground color but not the background, at least in the default color scheme with my terminal.) I will choose DiffChange . Second step: :match DiffChange / / Ahh! That looks awful, so :match NONE will get me back to normal. HTH --Benji Fisher P.S. I think that :match NONE only works with vim 7.0, but I think the rest works with vim 6.x.
