i love you phrakture!!!
i just bought a new hdd(samsung ultraquiet 200gb) and did a fresh archinstall, copied over my old homedir and everything worked except for this term stuff,
i was just about to post a thread when i saw this,

Hah! My terminal color scheme rules, too - the commented one is good as well.

xerxes2 · 2005-07-28 23:17:20

it doesn't work as it should yet,
just half of the colours in the themes show up,
urxvt and xterm are the same,

huh? mine work fine... can you post a screenshot or something?

xerxes2 · 2005-07-28 23:27:10

i guess i could but i'm too pissed to do it,
wtf could it be? i'm using the same .Xdefaults as before,

is this line from .bashrc right?
export TERM='xterm-color'

i didn't have that in my old setup because i'm using the same homedir,

edit: the themes are only showing colors 0-7 not 8-15,
it worked before so it must be something easy to fix,

edit2: i've found a workaround, calling the colors by name instead of numbers worked, strange though that it worked with numbers before,

phrakture and xerxes,

I'm in the process of trying all this and alsosuck at the color thingy:
after opening vim:
http://www.justdreams.de/archlinux/imag … r_open.jpg
after set background=light
http://www.justdreams.de/archlinux/imag … _light.jpg
after set background=dark
http://www.justdreams.de/archlinux/imag … g_dark.jpg

it seems that it follows these rules:
it takes the 8 colors defined as dark* and displays the normal
as soon as you request either bold or a light* color you automatically
get the bright version bold. So these combination are just as bundles
available
How does it looks at yours when you open the

:e $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/colortest.vim

and

:source %

it

Actually, I do have a followup question on the 'xterm-color' thing. It does work when I set the property manually on a command line, but for some reason it doesn't seem to stay set when putting

export TERM='xterm-color'

in my .bashrc file. Is there some other place this could be getting set back to just 'xterm' after the .bashrc file is sourced?

iphitus · 2005-08-05 05:15:19

i think theres an option which can go in ~/.Xdefaults

yeah it's something like:

aterm*termName: xterm-color
urxvt*termName: xterm-color
xterm*termName: xterm-color
etc...
etc...

elasticdog · 2005-08-05 21:05:09

Thanks...I'll check that out and let you know.

What is up with this color crap?

Desert? Can I get mine in pink pussycat with just a hint of periwinkle?

I use vi, and it's black and white. I don't want to know what mode I'm in. If I bang on the Esc key enough I'll get into edit mode.

I don't use ZZ to exit out, because that's something an emacs user would do.

If I want pretty colors, I go out in the garden!

More color crap - /me hugs his colors a bit.
After describing here:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=107004#107004
how to make you urxvt aware of more then 8 dark and 8 bolded
colors, now here comes the vim part.

Actually, there is no big deal, you should just make sure that other
non 88 color terms don't run into problems on that issue. This is
what it looks like, more that 8 colors and none of them is bolded. So
you or your vim colorscheme can decide, which elements should be
bolded and which not should be.

Note: the [^ is actually a written escape char, make sure you set it correctly

neri - can you post your Xdefaults? or are those default colors?

xerxes2 · 2005-08-15 19:48:30

nice of neri to continue the quest for the perfect terminal,
i'm wating anxiously for him to release urxvt to extra,

Ouuch, uuuh, oh, stop it, I reply ...
seriously, I did some further research. The issue is more related to terminal
colors, hence watch the rxvt-unicode thread.

EDIT: vim stuff better goes here ...

Following things have been observed:
1. when you use the TermColors as defined in .Xdefault and call them by
numbers as listed here
http://vim.dindinx.net/orig/html/syntax … ht-ctermfg
your vim will use the colors defined in .Xdefaults - BUT
it will also behave like an 8 color terminal and boldize the colors 8-15
2. when using color names like darkred, indianred3 etc - mind these are
the predifined X-colours - described in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt
It might be possible to redefine them in .Xdefaults, but I dunno how.

A maybe better .vimrc

" Take care of the colors rxvt-unicode can display, note the also mrxvt honours
" these settings and maybe othe rxvt clones as well!
if $COLORTERM =~ 'rxvt-xpm'
  " redefine colors to 88 - necessary if $TERM!=rxvt-unicode
  set t_Co=88
  " we define a cterm friendly scheme, this a  home hacked one
  colorscheme tobbi
else
  " a fallback for mlterm and other terms
  set t_Co=16
  " some color mappings taken from vim manual
  set t_AB=[^[%?%p1%{8}%<%t25;%p1%{40}%+%e5;%p1%{32}%+%;%dm
  set t_AF=[^[%?%p1%{8}%<%t22;%p1%{30}%+%e1;%p1%{22}%+%;%dm
  " load schemes only when colorsettings are defined!
  colorscheme desert
endif

hth a bit,
-neri

PS: can someone start a wiki on the urxvt-vim combo since it si very
powerful but very hard to configure, I contribute to it later
