Options
If the original color is too blue or bright, the following options can be used to make the background darker, since the background color is customizable.
To do so, one of the following code snippets should be added to VIMRC, before the following line:
colorscheme borlandp
dark_blue background
let g:borlandp_bg = "dark_blue"
dark_gray background
let g:borlandp_bg = "dark_gray"
black background
let g:borlandp_bg = "black"
Restoring the original blue
Simply delete the let g:borlandp_bg = ".."
line.
The blue background can also be explicitely set:
let g:borlandp_bg = "borland_blue"
