Warnings after adding the colors to ~/.Xresources when exiting vim.

[trusktr]

After adding the stuff to ~/.Xresources like it says in the README, everytime I exit vim I see this message:

Warning: Color name "t_background" is not defined

[w0ng]

Which OS and terminal are you using? Paste your $HOME/.Xresources file.

Non-response. Closing

Sorry about that. I'm busy with school.

I see this warning in xterm. I don't see it in the linux terminal or in kmscon.

Same issue for me. Using Ubuntu 13.04, Gnome-Terminal and my ~/.Xresources file is same as the above poster.

Not a vim-hybrid user, but stumbled across this while trying to solve the same issue: it seems latest Ubuntus have /etc/gdm/Xsession configured to load ~/.Xresources with the -nocpp flag, which disables the #define statements. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1387051

So the solution would be running xrdb -merge .Xresources before opening the terminal.

I've updated the gist to not use #define macro
