For Vim to use 256 colours effectively, you have to make sure that t_Co
gets set to 256 when running in a 256-colour terminal, but not when in a
terminal with fewer colours (such as the Linux hardware-text console or,
I think, the Windows console, at least when in fullscreen mode).
Previous posts in this thread provide several answers to that; mine (not
necessarily the best) is simply
" use 256 colors in Console mode if we think the terminal supports it
if &term =~? 'mlterm\|xterm'
set t_Co=256
endif
Then you need a colorscheme which makes use of them. If you are using a
GUI-enabled Vim in console mode (which is possible on Linux but not on
Windows), you can use the CSApprox plugin, which will "translate" the
24-bit (16 million colors) gui= guibg= guifg= guisp= of any GUI-oriented
colorscheme into something as near as possible to the same colours on a
256- or 88-color terminal. (On a terminal with fewer colours, such as 8
bg + 16 fg, it will simply desist and let the cterm= ctermbg= ctermfg=
colours remain in force.) This way, if your terminal has 88 or more
colours, you'll get approximately the same look and feel as in gvim. I
like it but of course YMMV.
