Thanks.
I tried torte, slate, shine, ron, peachpuff, pablo, murphy, morning,
koehler, evening, elflord, desert, delek, default, blue, darkblue. I
really liked delek but it's not really strong enough. Do you have any
suggestions of something similar to delek?
No I don't. I use gvim much more than Console Vim, and I use a small homemade
colourscheme which I call almost-default because it is not very different from
the default. It works reasonably well in konsole with pale-yellow background
but I won't claim it's perfect. I'm sending it as attachment: you may use it
as a source of inspiration to create your own. Or you may use any other one
and modify it to your taste. If you modify a "standard" colourscheme, copy it
first under another name, into ~/.vim/colors [for Unix] or
$HOME/vimfiles/colors [for Windows], creating any not-yet-existing needed
directories in the process. Example for Unix/Linux:
:!mkdir -pv $HOME/.vim/colors
:e $VIMRUNTIME/colors/delek.vim
:saveas ~/.vim/colors/atstake.vim
then go on editing the colorscheme under its new name. To test it, just use
:w
:colorscheme atstake
:syntax on
Once (and if) you get something you like, just add
colorscheme atstake
to your vimrc.
Best regards,
Tony.
