Hi Sean, Thanks for the helpful explanations & examples, this gets me a lot closer. I've a few more questions...

Using your suggested terminal-overrides entry, I swapped out that ;0 with ;80 to get my desired color cursor: setw -ga terminal-overrides ',*:Cc=\E[?120;%p1%s;240c:Cr=\E[?120;80;240c:civis=\E[?25l:cnorm=\E[?25h:cvvis=\E[?25h,' > let &t_SI="\<esc>]12;96\007" > > let &t_EI="\<esc>]112\007" Wanting Vim's insert-mode cursor to be the default color and the normal-mode cursor color to be different, I set this in my ~/.vimrc: let &t_SI="\<esc>]112\007" let &t_EI="\<esc>]12;16\007" > The ";96" above will select a red cursor for insert mode. I found that ;96 sets the cursor to light blue, ;16 sets it to yellow and ;80 sets it to light green. I've read though the console_codes(4) manpage, the /usr/src/linux/Documentation/VGA-softcursor.txt file, and this page which seems explain VGA-softcursor.txt a bit: Cursor Appearance in the Linux Console http://linuxgazette.net/137/anonymous.html ...but it's still all rather confusing. > ... the codes you'll have to choose from for each of > the 8 available colors: > > Black = 224 > Blue = 192 > Green = 160 > Cyan = 128 > Red = 96 > Magenta = 64 > Orange = 32 > White = 0 I get different colors for these (hardware dependent behaviour?), but trying the following values I can see all the 16 colors my framebuffer console is capable of: 0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 224, 240 I set the default cursor foreground color to green with ;80 and yellow with ;16 ...so far so good. But now it's the cursor background color I'm having trouble with. These values set the background color to white and I'd like it to be black, as a yellow or green cursor over a black character provides better contrast. I *think* what I need to do is change the ;0 and ;240 values in the terminal-overrides string you suggested in concert with that ;96 value in my vimrc. These all seem interrelated, and I haven't been able to sort out the right combination that'll provide the desired cursor foreground colors along with a black background in all cases. Any further clues much appreciated (ie, would I change both values in the terminal-overrides entry currently shown as ;240 ?).
