If you want to customize the colors you get in VIM
Here is a gallery: http://vimcolorschemetest.googlecode.com/svn/html/index-html.html
To try out different schemes you can type
:colorscheme XXXXX
in vi where XXX is the scheme name (without the .vim extension )
Once you find one you like you can put that command in your .vimrc in your home directory
I like :colorscheme darkblue
It looks for the files in /usr/share/vim/vim70/colors directory.
The only ones we have now on ccdev are listed below — if you pick one from that website we can download it and put it in that directory so everyone can choose it.
