When I run :terminal, I have a combination of blue color of the prompt over a grey background and I can barely read what is written, see attached image. What options can I add to :ter in such a way I have either black background or a specific prompt color?
I tried :ter background dark, :ter background=dark, etc but with no success.

  • Ok, then can you please send me some link? The only answers that I found are all based on :set. As stated, I need a solution for :ter. The end goal is to call vim -c terminal <options for dark background only in the terminal> directly from the bash, leaving the desert colorscheme for the editor on top. See image above.

... in such a way I have either black background ...

:hi terminal ctermbg=16 guibg=#000000

or a specific prompt color?

:h g:terminal_ansi_colors as in https://github.com/vim/colorschemes/blob/02a0a716fff23125bfcbb8596d5d1b87d590e662/colors/desert.vim#L19

let g:terminal_ansi_colors = ['#7f7f8c', '#cd5c5c', '#9acd32', '#bdb76b', '#75a0ff', '#eeee00', '#cd853f', '#666666', '#8a7f7f', '#ff0000', '#89fb98', '#f0e68c', '#6dceeb', '#ffde9b', '#ffa0a0', '#c2bfa5']

  • Nice! But what if I want to pass it as an option when I call vim from the bash, i.e. vim -c "terminal <options for dark background only in the terminal OR use a certain prompt color scheme> ?

    add it to your vimrc with conditional check of global variable, set this variable in -c option in command-line.
