This problem might be a terminal problem, but maybe some of you managed to solve it.

I've been using ViM with the default colorscheme, which has a transparent background, so I see the background color set for my terminal emulator (I use st with the anysize patch by the way). Now, this morning I wanted to try out some new colorschemes and I noticed that if ViM sets a background color, then it leaves a bit of border of the same color of the terminal emulator.

I'd like to get rid of this effect without having to change the colors of my terminal.

Here's a screenshot of the problem (with the blue colorscheme): notice that the borders have a different background color.

Border problems

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance

  • Does :let &t_ut='' change anything?

  • @ChristianBrabandt Unfortunately it does not work. I tried it by opening a new vim instance in the terminal, changing the colorscheme to blue and then executing the command. Nothing happens. :-(

  • note sure, but note, that the default vim colorschemes may not be optimal anymore, so perhaps it is a bug there

  • It’s also very possible that vim doesn’t take up the entire terminal width/height (for one reason or another; possibly there is padding so characters aren’t right on the edge) and so vim just doesn’t draw there? @ChristianBrabandt is that plausible?

  • @ChristianBrabandt Not sure if it helps, but it also happens with SpaceViM, which is a sort of a collection of ViM plugins well organized. SpaceViM uses gruvbox as the default colorscheme and I noticed it's not present in ViM. I'm not sure how old is that colorscheme though
