vim + solarized colorscheme + lxterminal


I'm trying to install Solarized colorschem for vim, unfortunately i have some background problem: screen & ~/.vimrc

i do all necessary ~/.vimrc settings:

let g:solarized_termcolors=256
set t_Co=256 
set background=dark
colorscheme solarized

in vim :echo $TERM return xterm-256color and :set t_Co? return t_Co=256

Also, i check my terminal(lxterminal) for 256color support by Colortest utility from vim.org and i got this rgb grid.

I don't find solution of my problem and have no idea what else i'm supposed to do, that's why i start new topic

  • You have to config your terminal with solarized theme too.

    IMPORTANT NOTE FOR TERMINAL USERS:

    If you are going to use Solarized in Terminal mode (i.e. not in a GUI version like gvim or macvim), please please please consider setting your terminal emulator’s colorscheme to used the Solarized palette.....
