I use solarized as my colorscheme with some customizations in my vimrc file. But strangely they get won't get applied when gVim starts. I need to source the config one time for the solarized settings to get taken over. Said options are:
let g:solarized_contrast = "low"
let g:solarized_visibility = "high"
let g:solarized_hitrail = 1
A very similar question is .vimrc is not being sourced properly but no answer was found. I can't comment on the old topic (why?!)
.vimrc is hosted here
Call colorscheme solarized
after all of the let g:solarized_
variables are set.
The solarized colorscheme script uses these flags to determine how it is going to set your colours as it is loaded.
