Vim + iTerm2 color issues












2















I have trouble with the right Vim configuration. I'm using the latest version of Vim as well as the latest version of iTerm2.



I try to get the solarized colorscheme working, but without luck so far.



Here you can see an image with (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right) iTerm2, Terminal.app, MacVim and my iTerm2 settings.



terminals + settings



I also imported the solarized color scheme in iTerm2.



Here the link to my .vimrc

  • JIC, are you sure, "solarized" is 256-color scheme?

  • it's not necessarily just solarized which is not working. I get 3 different results for every scheme :(

  • I have this exact problem; font colors do change between colorschemes, but not the background…

You have set t_Co=256, try these lines in addition.



set term=xterm
set t_Co=256
let &t_AB="e[48;5;%dm"
let &t_AF="e[38;5;%dm"

    • More details? I'm afraid I'm new to both vim and iterm, so I don't have much in the way of explanation. However, I do know that installing that plugin allowed me to set the color scheme to whatever I wanted and get the same results in iTerm as I do in MacVim.

    What background colour of solarized you want to use? (light or dark)



    If you want dark background, put set bg=dark in your .vimrc



    If you want light background, put set bg=light in your .vimrc



    I saw that in comment of your .vimrc line #74
