Question

How do I get a colorscheme such as this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/54/Hello_World_Perl_GTk2.png in gVim?

Answer 1

Well, as gvim and vim share their configuration files you create directory "colors" in ~/.vim and put your_favorite_colorscheme.vim in it.

Then edit your .vimrc file in your home directory with to include this line: colorscheme your_favorite_colorscheme
