Setting background color in gvim
- by petersohn
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 using gvim
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.
