I have installed gvim, xinit, xorg-server in my cygwin installation.
When I start 'XWin Server' and then a Cygwin terminal (DISPLAY=:0.0), I am able to open gvim.
But the visual quality is pathetic. Characters appear half-rendered and choppy looking.
For example, the colorscheme command in gvim's command bar
[EDIT - Adding one more screenshot]
Looks like redrawing/rendering is the issue here. As I type in vim, the cursor 'imprints' are left behind on top of characters.
The font is Monospace 10 and font itself renders correctly.
Works fine for me with Monospace font.
Install some fonts and make your tests, gvim by default does not pull the installation of any font.

I start vim without custom config
vim -u NONE
Then, I call the colorscheme command to change the colorscheme, and vim simply freezes.
:colorscheme desert
It does not matter what colorscheme I specify, vim always freezes.
This happens on Mac OS only. I upgraded my macvim from 8.1 to 8.2, and I still see the freeze.
I don't think anything is wrong with my vim config since I am launching vim without custom config.
Any suggestions on how to either fix or debug the hang?
The issue is with Mac Terminal Itself. It used to freeze for me too but now I've switched from bash to zsh and everything works fine even for my Macbook Air 2017(8 GB) and on top of that I am using over 20 plugins which include a lot of linters and fixers.
Difference from bash to zsh is the reason that I am back to Vim again.
Also, if you have Catalina on your system, zsh is in there ,you'll just have to set it as default
I'm using gVim 8.x 64-bit on Window 10 that I installed using chocolatey vim tux package.
Just recently I started getting these highlights when I open files.
I'm using solarized colorscheme. When I set the colorscheme manually, the highlights disappear.
I'm trying to get a Mac Vim setup similar to my Windows gVim setup. I downloaded homebrew and installed Macvim with it, but when I run MacVim it comes up in a terminal and looks like regular Vim.
All I did in Windows was download gVim and I got some vimrc settings from a popular github repository so everything looks nicer and plugins were all set up for me. How can I achieve something similar with Mac?
I am relatively new to both Mac and Vim so help is appreciated.
MacVim comes with two executables: one is a regular windowed GUI application and the other is a command-line program. Both are bundled in the MacVim.app that you downloaded and installed in ~/Applications.
Double-clicking on the icon in the finder, clicking on the icon in the dock or choosing MacVim from the "Open with…" contextual menu should start the GUI.
Using someone else's setup is a very bad idea. Don't.
I installed vim-airline (MacBook Pro running Yosemite) to use in Terminal.app (zsh + tmux). Here is how it looks, along with the relevant lines of my vimrc. I'm using Inconsolata-g-powerline. Any ideas on how to fix?

I'm configuring the Vim and ConEmu to work on my Win8 as on my Fedora distro.
After problems with getting to work the 256 colors in ConEmu for my color schema seoul256, now I have problems with the vim-powerline colors. In gvim there is no problem, only in the console. It looks that
So how can I get it to work?
