I was trying to understand how runtimepath option works and was experimenting with it. I bumped onto a small problem.
I set up my runtimepath and copy mycolor.vim file into it. After I set my runtimepath, :set runtimepath=~/Projects/learningvimthehardway/colors, I run the color command, :color mycolor. I get the following message: E185: Cannot find color scheme mycolor. Does anybody know why it is doing it? I do see the file mycolor.vim in my runtimepath directory. Here is what I get when run mvim --version: IM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled Jan 2 2012 17:38:47) MacOS X (unix) version Included patches: 1-390 Compiled by Bjorn Winckler <[email protected]> Huge version with MacVim GUI.
