title: Setting the Vim background colors
body: <p>When I try to change the background colors in <code>.vimrc</code> or directly in Vim using the command: </p>
  
  <pre><code>set background=dark
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>... it doesn't affect my background at all. Neither does the <code>light</code> option. However, it looks okay when I run gvim.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to change the background in Vim without changing my Konsole settings?  </p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong> Okay, there is a difference between guifg/guibg and ctermfg/ctermbg. While the GUI accepts lots of different color combinations, cterm allows only few standard ones.</p>
