I personally would rather encounter an occasional "weird line" (a mere nuisance, but still fully readable) than barely readable text (as reported with the Error group in the default color scheme). In fact, I have already modified my personal colorscheme (with mixed results) because I encountered bad readability with the highlighting + cursorline combination (but didn't want to miss the improved readability of cursorline). -- ingo --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
