I'm curious where you found "other opinions". Color schemes are global to all of Vim. There are no buffer-local or window-local color schemes. You could possibly hack a tab-local color scheme using TabEnter/TabLeave autocmds, but there's nothing built in even for that. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
