Is this Vim or gVim?
If the later, where's the .gvimrc file?
If the former, putting guifg=... in the .vimrc is meaningless.
If you're using gVim create a .gvimrc file in the same directory as
the .vimrc. Place the guifg=... stuff in there.
What is the output of scriptnames now?
Is the syntax as you'd like it now?
cheers,
It's perfectly possible to run gvim with no gvimrc (it does source the vimrc).
":highlight" commands would sit better in a colorscheme, but regardless of
whether they're in a colorscheme or in the vimrc, it's possible to set both
cterm[bf]g= and gui[bf]g= (and term= if deemed necessary) in the same ":hi"
command.
IIUC, ":syntax on" resets all colors, re-invoking the current colorscheme if
any: thus it's usually less problematic to define colors in a colorscheme.
(When default colors are OK, the corresponding highlight groups can be omitted.)
See (attached) an example colorscheme, which is the one I use for my
day-to-day editing. It may help you design your own. To use this one, drop it
in ~/.vim/colors and add
colorscheme almost-default
to your vimrc.
Best regards,
Tony.
