If you tell the Normal group not to output a background color, you need to tell every other highlight group that you want to match the Normal group that it shouldn't output a background color. ctermbg=bg says "use the current background color", and after you did a :hi Normal ctermbg=NONE, there is no "current background color", so ctermbg=bg, by design, fails. > It would be tedious if we need to wrap 'try..catch' on all occurrences > of bg, may I think that 'bg' is pretty useless? For the special case of not wanting any color output, it's not useful. For the more general case of wanting to set the default background color in one place and having a bunch of different groups use it, it's useful. ~Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
