How can I use different color schema between vim and gvim

What should I write in my .vimrc file to test whether I am running vim or gvim.

Because the colorscheme I like very much is beautiful in vim, but is ugly in gvim. So I want it that when I am in vim, I use this aforementioned colorscheme, and when I am in gvim, use another colorscheme.

Is there any vimscript code can implement this function?

from my experiences using the Settings sub menu in gVim does override the gvimrc.

If you want to set the font in gVim add these lines to your gvimrc

set guifont=WhateverFontYouWant\ 011

& substitute the size for the value you require

gvim has its own configuration file, .gvimrc. Settings that you put in this file will override .vimrc settings for gvim only.

These two pages have a lot of info on color schemes and how to switch them: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Switch_color_schemes http://www.indelible.org/ink/vim-colorschemes/

It also features the issue you have:

if has('gui_running')
    " GUI colors
    colorscheme foo
else
    " Non-GUI (terminal) colors
    colorscheme bar
endif
