I have installed the latest Kubuntu. I am trying to set a nice color scheme for my terminal, but it does not work.For example I tried wombat256. I copied the wombat256mod.vim under ~/.vim/colors as it is specified in the instructions and did: :colorscheme wombat256mod. There is no change in vim. By default TERM is set to xterm. Trying TERM=xterm-256color vim does not work either.I have also tried solarized and github theme, no change. I am using the default Kubuntu terminal. What am I missing here?
Can not install any color scheme in Vim in Kubuntu
vim;kde;kubuntu
I bet you downloaded the wombat256mod.vim file and tried to add with :colorscheme wombat256 instead of :colorscheme wombat256mod. You must watch that both files has different endings. The :colorscheme wombat256mod will only work for the wombat256mod.vim file while :colorscheme wombat256 will only work for wombat256 file. Try again but with :colorscheme wombat256mod and it will work.
