I recently installed MacVim along with Janus. When I'm inside macVim I can change my color scheme with :color freya
but if i restart MacVim the them is reverted back to ir_black. I've added freya to my .vimrc.local, but it doesn't help.
Also added the following: set term=xterm-256color
I'm using Lion and I've got a bunch of themes in ~/.vim/colors

Are you sourcing your
.vimrc.local
by hand? That is not a standard file. MacVIM will read your~/.vimrc
and~/.gvimrc
. I'd suggest you keep your syntax settings in.gvimrc
for MacVIM unless you want to use them in your terminal as well.If you want to keep a generic
.gvimrc
that is shared by multiple systems and set your color only for this machine in.gvimrc.local
you can put the following at the end of your~/.gvimrc
