I have several different colorschemes, all modifications of one scheme or another grabbed from the official distribution or off the 'net somewhere. I usually only use one at a time, but every month or three I get tired of it and switch to a new scheme. No real reason, just preference. I keep the old ones around for when I get bored again. I do have two practical reasons which I have from time-to-time that make me switch color schemes temporarily, in which case it is nice to have a variety of them installed: 1. When working on a laptop in a brightly-lit environment, I need to experiment with colorschemes for readability 2. My email client at work does not support background colors on text, but it does support foreground colors. When copy-pasting the output of :TOhtml into my mail client at work (for sharing code snippets and such), I need to switch to a scheme with a white background. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
