There are a couple ways you can do it. The first is through your |
11 |
.xresources file. X11 keeps its session configuration and preferences in a |
12 |
key/value store called resources, and you can drop stuff into that file to |
13 |
configure just about anything. |
14 |
|
15 |
'man xterm' to find the resources you can twiddle with. |

The other thing you can do is add 'set background=dark' to your .vimrc. |
