The first is through your .xresources file. X11 keeps its session configuration and preferences in a key/value store called resources, and you can drop stuff into that file to configure just about anything. 'man xterm' to find the resources you can twiddle with. The other thing you can do is add 'set background=dark' to your .vimrc. -- :wq --00151758af643f560404c7178ecd Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

There are a couple ways you can do it. The first is throug= h your .xresources file. X11 keeps its session configuration and preference= s in a key/value store called resources, and you can drop stuff into that f= ile to configure just about anything.

'man xterm' to find the resources you can twidd= le with.

The other thing you can do is add 'se= t background=3Ddark' to your .vimrc.
