I set the VIM background as dark color on Mac since I set it up, but recently it's changed to white. After some investigation, I found that the color files are missing.<figure class="image"><img src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1488590528505-98d2b5aba04b?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=MnwxNTQwMTB8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw2Mnx8ZWRpdG9yfGVufDB8fHx8MTY2MjQ5MDEzMw&amp;ixlib=rb-1.2.1&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080"><figcaption>Photo by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://unsplash.com/@lucabravo?utm_source=DNX&amp;utm_medium=referral">Luca Bravo</a> on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://unsplash.com/?utm_source=DNX&amp;utm_medium=referral">Unsplash</a></figcaption></figure>First of all, here is my ~/vimrc file looks like:<pre><code class="language-plaintext" id="9_AXZz3Oz">syntax on
colorscheme delek
set tabstop=2</code></pre>I don't remember how I set up ‘delek’ theme. The background of ‘vim’ was changed to white recently, I did not realize that the ‘color’ files are missing. I thought it came with the ‘vim’ package.I guess the recent Mac update removed those files.Anyway, here is how to fix it.<ol><li>Create a folder named ‘.vim’ under your home directly if you don't have one. In my case, I have an empty one.</li><li>Download the color files, and the easy way is just to clone the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://github.com/flazz/vim-colorschemes,">https://github.com/flazz/vim-colorschemes,</a> and then copy the folder under ~/vim</li></ol>Here are some commands FYI:<pre><code class="language-plaintext" id="QTDw1n9Nj">mkdir ~/.vim
cd ~/.vim
git clone https://github.com/flazz/vim-colorschemes.git
cd vim-colorschemes
cp -r colors ~/.vim/.</code></pre>That will fix it.
