Background color not working in terminal

[jgallen23]

I have let g:vimroom_ctermbackground = "black" in my .vimrc, but this is what vim room looks like:

I'm getting this behavior also. Oddly It works fine in the gui, not so much in cli.

Did you change the g:vimroom_ctermbackground setting because you got messages like

Error detected while processing function <SNR>32_VimroomToggle:
line  121:
E420: BG color unknown
...

or was it for some other reason?

If I muck with let g:vimroom_ctermbackground="black" I see a uniform, non-black background color.

Another thought, simply not mucking with the terminal background color should accomplish matching the users current settings. This is probably just doing nothing to the colors when g:vimroom_ctermbackground is unset or zero length.

I use Vim in the terminal with a transparent background.

This worked:

let g:vimroom_ctermbackground="none"
