[TriLUG] VIM Question

[Chris MacLeod]

you can also add:
set background=dark (or light)
to your .vimrc rather than resetting a whole bunch of colors
this setting will make everything readable on a dark background
and if you use gvim you can put background=light into your .gvimrc
and have it very readable on a light background.
