Actually, I wasn't trying to customize but to change the default behavior of groups - that's what I couldn't find. > I've made a small plugin which lets me use 'after/colors/' > scripts in the same way I would have '/after/syntax/' > scripts, and I find this system works very well for > customizing colorschemes (individually or all at once). > (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1641) Thanks for this idea. It is unfortunate that :colorscheme does't load the first found in runtime PLUS all found in runtime "after" directories. It's easy to see the attributes of a highlight group from the command line, but how can you "see" within the 'after' script? -- Best regards, Bill
