Question

I am using Vim 7.3 on Ubuntu. Problem is – whenever I got some error in my code, that error is marked with white color. I can’t see anything underneath that color. So if I have typo error (missing one brace) it will mark that brace with white, but I wont be able to see that mistake ( it is covered with color ). Sometimes it marks all line. I am using Molokai color scheme.

I tried to change color scheme, but nothing happens. I suppose that error color is coming from the vim native settings.

Any ideas how to fix this?

The

:hi

command lists all defined highlightings. Find the one with the white color (for errors, this should be Error), and change it (see :help :highlight) in your ~/.vimrc, e.g.:

:hi Error ctermfg=Red guifg=Red
