Hi!

I'm currently using the gnome-terminal to do most of my work, including all the vim stuff.
I wanted to change the colors of the MBE window (in my .vimrc):
hi MBENormal ctermfg=cyan

which has no effect, but:
:verbose hi MBENormal
MBENormal xxx cterm=bold ctermfg=6
Last set from ~/.vimrc

I also tried installing gvim (GTK) to test if it would work in a gui version. But it didn't. I also looked into the code and don't quite understand what the syntax declarations are doing. Besides i didn't find any other color specific settings, than the MBE* highlighting definitions.

So do you know, what I have to do, that highlighting works?

Thank you!
David
