Why are some colorschemes in VIM not working? -


i trying download vim colorschemes seem not work. here example:

http://vimcolorschemetest.googlecode.com/svn/colors/vylight.vim

and yet example:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=16130

i able install few other colorschemes , work. copied them in following directory: /usr/share/vim/vim73/colors other colorschemes copied there work, guess location ok. use :colorscheme scheme-name(without .vim extension) , above ones not work. using vim 7.3.

also, suggestions cool vim colorschemes html, js , php welcomed.

thanks

these colorschemes gui-only; i.e. work in gvim, not in terminal. you'll recognize because contained :highlight commands contain gui[fg|bg]=... definitions.

plugins csapprox can take gui color definitions , convert them closely matching 256-color cterm color palette high-color terminals. helps colorschemes otherwise pick bland default 16-color terminal color palette, or provide gui color definitions.

another approach taken csexact, modifies (supported) terminal's palette match vim's gui colors.

install location

you've used system install location place colorschemes. it's better put them user's configuration instead: ~/.vim/colors/ (as presumably set them ~/.vimrc).
