vim in terminal background is too dark

[schmty]

The background in terminal vim is completely black and not a light grey.

use either

let g:rehash256 = 1

or

let g:molokai_original = 1

Do these options work for terminal? I tried and saw no effect. It did work for gui version though.

Look like this doesn't work in the terminal. Looking forward to when it is possible in the terminal.

this is my resolution: colorscheme molokai let g:molokai_original = 1 set background=dark "required solve molokai background color too dark and not a light grey

Doing what @jackiesun8 suggested fixed it for me. However, it makes plain text and commands black instead of white. Does it happen to anyone else? I removed all other extensions to make sure that they weren't affecting.

Nevermind, I managed how to fix it. I also needed to set let g:rehash256 = 1 to avoid Normal text being black.

colorscheme molokai
let g:molokai_original = 1
let g:rehash256 = 1
set background=dark
