background=dark-curiosity

[Niels Kobschaetzki]

Hi,

I just noticed something weird in my setup. In my .vimrc I have the
following setting: "set background=dark" and I am using the color scheme
desert.

When I do now in the editor:
:set background=light
the colors change as expected

When I do now a
:set background=dark
the colors change again but not to the colors I got when I started vim
but a bit more brighter which looks actually better.

I wonder now
a) what is the reason for it?
b) what can I do to get the even brighter color after setting the
background to light and back to dark again?

I tried already setting in .vimrc:
set backround=dark
set background=light
set background=dark

but that didn't work.

Any help is appreciated :)

:set background additionally acts like `:colorscheme default`. If you
call :colorscheme after this it is up to the colorscheme itself to
(dis)respect &background setting. If you need colors like with `set
background=light` do `set background=light` in the vimrc *and* remove
`:colorscheme desert` call.

Aah, thanks a lot. I didn't know this :)
