Hello all!
I absolutely hate the standard colorscheme for gvim, so I decided to change it. I now use 'desert' and I really like it. The problem is that I have to select it manually every time! My .vimrc looks like this:
colorscheme desert
and I believe the font colors are all set up correctly, but it seems the background color is too bright! Please give advice

maybe "set background=dark" will suit?

Thanks but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. It works when I type it out manually but when I put it into .vimrc it seems something else writes it over. Is there some kind of .gvimrc I don't know about?

yes there is a gvimrc, you can try putting your options in there but afaik gvim reads your .vimrc as well. i've not used gvim so that's about all i know.

Try this:
ln -s .vimrc .gvimrc
and make sure that your color scheme is working both in vim and gvim - currently I use:
colorscheme darkspectrum
This is what works for me - in vim as well as in vim.
Best regards,
tami

To get colorschemes working right on mine i had to comment out these lines on the bottom of ~/.gvimrc.
" highlight Normal guibg=grey90
" highlight Cursor guibg=Green guifg=NONE
" highlight lCursor guibg=Cyan guifg=NONE
" highlight NonText guibg=grey80
" highlight Constant gui=NONE guibg=grey95
" highlight Special gui=NONE guibg=grey95
