make vim colorful (syntax highlighting)
Vim is a pretty colorful app but it doesn’t come this way by default on many systems. You can turn on color syntax highlighting by editing the .vimrc in your home dir.
if $COLORTERM=='rxvt' set t_Co=256 endif colorscheme myNeatColorTheme set background=dark syntax on
The line
colorscheme myNeatColorTheme
is where you specify the color highlight theme you want to use. Themes are stored in
~/.vim/colors/
You can get lots of these online here: [1]
