There is another issue: how much light is there? For example in Portugal in the afternoon the sun is so strong that it is not easy at all to use dark background (yes, even in winter), and I have to switch to light color theme. When there direct sun, I prefer to use dark backgrounds though. For this I designed a color scheme: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3739 which has a command :BlueSky to switch from light to dark and vice versa. I mainly edit LaTeX files, VimL and rarely some Python scripts so it should work fine with the corresponding syntax. Best, Marcin -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
