set background=dark not working in vimrc

[Niels Kobschaetzki]

Hi,

I am using the solarized colorscheme which uses different colors
depending on background=light/dark.
When I manually do a ":set background=dark", I get the colors as
expected. But when I write
set background=dark
in my .vimrc, vim starts with a light background-setting anyway. Any
ideas what I could doing wrong?
I checked all the files I am sourcing whether there is a set
background=light but I can't find anything.

Niels, 

What does ':verbose set background' say? I would assume that another plugin might be resetting it.

Hi Niels!

Place it after your colorscheme call (that one might unexpectedly change
it and there is also a bug still open).

Best,
Christian

Thanks a lot, that's it. I forgot that I have sunset.vim installed which
didn't have any effect on the theme I used the last 12 months or so m)
