http://unix.stackexchange.com – I'm trying to get 256 color theme files to work with VIM under xterm. This is peaksea how it looks for me: For how it should look google peaksea vim. I'd link but it seems as a newbie I only get two links. I've tried following the tips on the wiki page to no avail. set t_Co=256 works fine but set t_AB=^[[48;5;%dm set t_AF=^[[38;5;%dm results in the escape sequences being displayed on the terminal: So what other changes can I try to make this work? Additional info $ uname -a Linux xxxxxxx 3.4.7-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 29 22:02:56 CEST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux - $ xterm -ver (HowTos)

xterm not displaying colors 16 weeks 6 days ago

I'm using xterm windows within a VNC session, and they are not displaying colors at all. The main thing I need colors for is syntax highlighting in vim, but ls highlighting is useful also.

The default "$TERM" is "xterm".

I'm using Arch-Linux and I'm trying to install something that colors the text in the terminal (xterm), but not necessarily just for xterm. It would be nice to find something for text without initializing the X server.

I've found (after a little search on google) that pacman-color already exists in the AUR, but I haven't managed to extract & install it.

This is what I put in .Xdefaults to change it to my liking.xterm*Background: black xterm*Foreground: green xterm*cursorColor: LightBlue xterm*pointerShape: arrow xterm*pointerColor: blueYou can do it how you like but if you want transparency some things have to be installed.It's explained in the wiki.

I'm in an Xterm terminal on Linux Mint 13. (Mate)

Whatever color scheme i set for the terminal overrides the color scheme i have set for Vim.

How can i stop that from happening?

I have read this: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/256_colors_setup_for_console_Vim at 'Overriding the terminal's default terminfo', but it's very fuzzy and I simply can't use it to solve this.

Hi,I'm trying to get the solarized theme for Vim working in the terminal http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized.The problem I'm having is that it doesn't look like the pictures which are on the site; the colors are off. However, the solarized theme claims to support Vim terminal fine.

the xterm seems to not read the colors i setin my ~/.Xresources file when i connect to a linux pc remotely.

Basically, if i'm sitting in front of my pc and i run an xterm from Xsession, the colors will obey whatever is in my ~/.Xresources file - no problem there. Here is my ~/.Xresources file:

XTerm*background: black Xterm*XtDefaultBackground: black Xterm*XtDefaultForeground: white XTerm*foregro

Hi,Don't you know how to change the colors of xterm permanently ?I created file .Xresources in my /home/USERNAME and when I run "xrdb .Xresources" and start new xterm it works. But I would like to do it permanently.

VT100 terminals have a relatively simple way to save terminal contents with escape codes to a file using Meta-p:

XTerm.VT100.printAttributes: 2 XTerm.VT100.printerCommand: cat - > file XTerm.VT100.translations: #override Meta <KeyPress> P: print() \n

I've looked around quite a bit, and can't find a solution for this to work in the default GNOME Terminal + XTerm + Bash.
