While there are plenty of other colorschemes, one problem is that Apple's Terminal.app only supports 16 colors. So, either use a 16-color colorscheme, use MacVim (GUI), or use a terminal that can handle 256 colors (like iTerm2: http://code.google.com/p/iterm2/). -- Ed Marczak e: [email protected] w: http://www.radiotope.com/writing MacTech Conference: http://www.mactech.com/conference -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
