Setting the Vim background colors

Question

When I try to change the background colors in  vimrc or directly in Vim using the command    set background dark       it doesn t affect my background at all  Neither does the light option  However  it looks okay when I run gvim   Is there a way to change the background in Vim without changing my Konsole settings     EDIT Okay  there is a difference between guifg guibg and ctermfg ctermbg  While the GUI accepts lots of different color combinations  cterm allows only few standard ones

Using set bg dark with a white background can produce nearly unreadable text in some syntax highlighting schemes   Instead  you can change the overall colorscheme to something that looks good in your terminal   The colorscheme file should set the background attribute for you appropriately   Also  for more information see    h color
