Operating Systems Linux SuSE How to change default vi colorscheme without root access Post 302580720 by Corona688 on Friday 9th of December 2011 11:32:29 AM

You don't need to change the global settings to change settings just for your user, the ~/.vimrc file can control settings just for you.

Try adding the line
Code:
colorscheme desert

to it. If ~/.vimrc doesn't exist already, that's okay, just create it.
