In some colorschemes the current line highlighting changes background, in others, like Desert, the current line is underlined.

I want to change the current line highlighting in Desert to use a different background color instead of underlining. How can I do that?

My .vimrc:

set cursorline
highlight Cursorline cterm=bold

Update: .vimrc that solves the issue

colorscheme desert
set cursorline
hi CursorLine term=bold cterm=bold guibg=Grey40
