[This example assumes your version is 6.3 and it's a default installation. YMMV. -DPB] Color schemes and themes are in: /usr/share/vim/vim63/colors/ Syntax highlighting definition files are in: /usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax/ To edit the PHP syntax highlighting definition file, open: /usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax/php.vim In there, you'll find lines such as this: syn keyword phpFunctions utf8_decode utf8_encode xml_error_string xml_get_current_byte_index xml_get_current_column_number xml_get_current_line_number xml_get_error_code xml_parse_into_struct xml_parse xml_parser_create_ns xml_parser_create xml_parser_free xml_parser_get_option xml_parser_set_option xml_set_character_data_handler xml_set_default_handler xml_set_element_handler xml_set_end_namespace_decl_handler xml_set_external_entity_ref_handler xml_set_notation_decl_handler xml_set_object xml_set_processing_instruction_handler xml_set_start_namespace_decl_handler xml_set_unparsed_entity_decl_handler contained Those define how each string (keyword) should be classified. In the above example, xml_parso_into_struct would be classified as phpFunctions. Further down, you'll see lines like these: HiLink phpStringDouble String HiLink phpNumber Number HiLink phpFloat Float HiLink phpMethods Function HiLink phpFunctions Function HiLink phpBaselib Function Notice that phpFunctions is an alias to Function. Now check through the files in the themes directory, and you'll see that (some) have colors and styles defined for Function (some are re-aliased as Identifier, if memory serves correctly). Take a few hints from those files, and you should be able to write your own from scratch. -- Daniel P.
