How about : " If using a dark background within the editing area and syntax highlighting " turn on this option as well, it makes the highlighting brighter " so that it contrasts with your black background. Be sure and put " this option _before_ the "syn on" line or it won't have any effect. | I don't use gvim, so if that defaults to a white background as someone else | said, then that should be handled as well. Can we put a "if has("gtk")" on | it? Probably has( "gui" ) instead but I would need to check the help pages, or use my solution : highlight Normal guibg=black guifg=grey90 I set the gui's background to black and foreground to grey90. This works for MFC as well as GTK (I use gvim at work on a win2k box). Now I just need to get up the will to adjust the cursor so I can actually read the text while it is highlighted :-). -D
