title: VIM Colorschemes in Screen & PuTTy?
body: <p>I've been trying to get colourschemes to work properly in VIM when using it over ssh with PuTTy as a client but unfortunately I haven't had much success. I can only get 8bit colours working with PuTTY even though I've enabled 256 colors in putty and set t_Co=256 in VIM. They don't turn out as they should. I've been trying to replicate this setup <a href="http://www.interworksinc.com/blogs/ckaukis/2009/06/03/vim-color-schemes-putty" rel="noreferrer" title="color-schemes in vim with putty">http://www.interworksinc.com/blogs/ckaukis/2009/06/03/vim-color-schemes-putty</a> but as I say it's been in vain so far. </p>
  
  <p>Has anyone here had success with colourschemes working with VIM in PuTTy? I'd appreciate any advice</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>

  <p><strong>[EDIT]</strong> Turns out I've found the source of the problem. I was using vim in a screen which was breaking the colours. Updated question I guess is, is it possible to have working colors in a screen session? <strong>[/EDIT]</strong></p>
