I started using the Solarized colorscheme yesterday. It looks great, especially in GUI mode on Windows.
I have configured Solarized on two Windows 7 computers. Both have Cygwin and MinTTY (a terminal). There's a special Solarized configuration for MinTTY. On one of the two computers I work on, vim with Solarized now shows a checkered background; it looks like a mixture between Solarized and plain black colorscheme. Take a look: http://snag.gy/0fZcU.jpg I would expect the background to be either blue-greenish as configured by Solarized or plain black. Both are okay, but the mixture is confusing. On the other computer, Mutt (a terminal mailer) shows a similarly checkered background. I think it's not specific to Vim or solarized. I mentioned the problem showed up in Mutt as well, and also before in Vim with another color scheme. Has anyone encountered this oddity before? Do you know what things I'd have to look at to find out what causes this bad display? Michael -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
