Suppose you have weird taste and you absolutely want:
- your visual selection to always have a green background and black foreground,
- your active statusline to always have a white background and red foreground,
- your very own deep blue background.
Your first reflex is probably to put those lines somewhere in your vimrc
:
highlight Visual cterm=NONE ctermbg=76 ctermfg=16 gui=NONE guibg=#5fd700 guifg=#000000
highlight StatusLine cterm=NONE ctermbg=231 ctermfg=160 gui=NONE guibg=#ffffff guifg=#d70000
