I wouldn't blame you for not liking Vim's default syntax highlighting. However, you can try the my set instead which took me days to fine-tune to my liking. (But first, put the following line into your .vimrc : map :syntax on :so ~/syntax.vim Then after starting gvim, press F12. That's the wat I do it.) ~/syntax.vim contents : hi Cursor guifg=white guibg=black hi Identifier guifg=black gui=bold hi NonText guibg=grey72 "black hi Normal guifg=black hi Statement guifg=black hi shFunction guifg=black gui=bold "grey30 hi Comment guifg=grey30 hi shCommandSub guifg=grey30 gui=bold "red hi Constant guifg=red hi Directory guifg=red hi cFormat guifg=red gui=bold "light-brown hi shSpecial guifg=#b07030 hi SpecialKey guifg=#b07030 hi shOption guifg=#b07030 hi shCase guifg=#b07030 "green hi Special guifg=#007700 gui=bold hi shExprRegion guifg=#007700 gui=bold hi PreProc guifg=#007700 gui=bold hi Statement guifg=#007700 gui=bold hi Repeat guifg=#007700 gui=bold hi shRepeat guifg=#007700 gui=bold hi shConditional guifg=#007700 gui=bold hi shStatement guifg=#007700 gui=bold "deep-blue hi Type guifg=#000099 gui=bold hi shShellVariables guifg=#000099 hi shVariable guifg=#000099 "muddy brown hi String guifg=#dd4400 hi shString guifg=#dd4400 "black on yellow hi IncSearch guibg=yellow guifg=black hi Search guibg=yellow guifg=black hi Question guibg=yellow guifg=black "other hi Operator guifg=#0088ee gui=bold "blue hi shOperator guifg=#0088ee gui=bold hi StorageClass guifg=#bb0099 gui=bold "purplish hi SpecialChar guifg=#00aa88 gui=bold "greenish cyan -- Regards Manish Jain invalid.pointer@gmail.com +91-96500-10329 Laast year I kudn't spell Software Engineer.
