Hi,
I'm doing a reinstall of gvim and placing my color and font setting in
a seperate file in the plugin.
This file is located in: "C:\Program Files\Vim\vimfiles\plugin"
And it contains the following:
[START OF FILE]
:hi Comment ctermfg=darkgreen gui=None guifg=darkgreen
:hi Statement ctermfg=blue gui=None guifg=blue
:hi Identifier ctermfg=darkred gui=None guifg=darkred
:hi PreProc ctermfg=blue gui=None guifg=darkblue
:hi Type ctermfg=darkgray gui=None guifg=darkgray
:hi Constant ctermfg=red gui=None guifg=red
" GUI font instellingen
set guifont=courier:h7:w7
[END OF FILE]
What now happens is that the font is taken over but the colors aren't
For example:
When I type :hi Comment
vim returns:
Comment xxx term=bold ctermfg=1 guifg=Blue
What do I do wrong?
Regards,
Eric

Colour files should go into the vimfiles/colors directory,
Yes.
and needs to
be named according to the filetype you want it to be used for. For
instance, sql.vim will be loaded for .sql files.
No (see below).
You can further
specify what filetype to use for a file by creating a filetypes.vim file
in the vimfiles/ftdetect directory.
... a filetype.vim file in a directory in 'runtimepath', *and/or* one or more
Vim script(s) of _any_ name in the ftdetect subdirectory of a directory in
'runtimepath'.
For more info about this, see
:help ftdetect
Also,
:help syntax
and also (more important)
:help :colorscheme
Hope that helps
The files in the colors directory are what is called color schemes in Vim
parlance, and correspond to what would be called "themes" or "skins" in other
programs. Their names bear *no relation* to the files to be edited with them.
Vim never loads them automatically but only as a result of the ":colorscheme
<name>" command, which is roughly equivalent to ":runtime colors/<name>.vim"
where <name>.vim is the name of an arbitrary colorscheme script.
The highlight groups to use for files of a given syntax are in the syntax
subdirectory of directories in 'runtimepath', and they may define default
colors for highlight groups not predefined in Vim, by using ":highlight
default" commands (see ":help :highlight-default").
