I use a terminal with white text on black background (I just like it better), so I wrote the following line in my .vimrc
file:
set background=dark
However, gvim
has black on white text. How do I do either of the following:
- Set the background of
gvim
to black - Check in
.vimrc
if I'm usinggvim
I tried this: I started up gvim
, and typed echo &term
. The answer was "builtin_gui". So I wrote the following into .vimrc
:
if &term == "builtin_gui"
set background=light
else
set background=dark
endif
Somehow, it didn't work.
When I start gvim, does both .vimrc and .gvimrc run? – petersohn – 2010-05-16T08:12:28.507
3Yes. Anything in
.gvimrc
should run after.vimrc
, so.gvimrc
preferences will take precedence over.vimrc
