    That second thread offers a method which will get you closer, but even
    using the signs feature, I don't think Vim can highlight a specific
    line number in the line number column, and only the line number column
    (i.e. not the line text).

    Probably your best bet is to just set a cursorline highlight which is
    not too distracting and use that.


Uhum... Well, too bad.

Thanks for the replies though.

Cheers,

In gvim (where the Normal background is white) (and in 256-color consoles with the CSApprox.vim plugin) I use the following in my "almost-default" colorscheme, http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/almost-default.vim

        hi clear CursorLine
        hi CursorLine guibg=#F4F4F4
        hi clear CursorColumn
        hi link CursorColumn CursorLine

which give me crosshairs in very light grey (95.7% grey), just enough to be visible, not enough to be distracting.


Best regards,
Tony.
