patch 9.1.0061: UX of visual highlighting can be improved
Problem: UX of visual highlighting can be improved
Solution: Improve readibility of visual highlighting,
by setting better foreground and background
colors
The default visual highlighting currently is nice in that it overlays
the actual syntax highlighting by using a separate distinct background
color.
However, this can cause hard to read text, because the contrast
between the actual syntax element and the background color is way too
low. That is an issue, that has been bothering colorschemes authors for
quite some time so much, that they are defining the Visual highlighting
group to use a separate foreground and background color, so that the
syntax highlighting vanishes, but the text remains readable (ref:
vim/colorschemes#250)
So this is an attempt to perform the same fix for the default Visual
highlighting and just use a default foreground and background color
instead of using reverse.
I also removed the hard-coded changes to the Visual highlighting in
init_highlight. It's not quite clear to me, why those were there and not
added directly to the highlighting_init_<dark|light> struct.
closes: #13663
related: vim/colorschemes#250

This builds a one-click install for Vim for Win32 using the Nullsoft Installation System (NSIS), available at http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ To build the installable .exe: 1. Unpack three archives: PC sources PC runtime PC language files You can generate these from the Unix sources and runtime plus the extra archive (see the Makefile in the top directory). 2. Go to the src directory and build: gvim.exe (the OLE version), vimrun.exe, install.exe, uninstall.exe, tee/tee.exe, xxd/xxd.exe, Then execute tools/rename.bat to rename the executables. (mv command is required.) 3. Go to the GvimExt directory and build gvimext.dll (or get it from a binary archive). Both 64- and 32-bit versions are needed and should be placed as follows: 64-bit: src/GvimExt/gvimext64.dll 32-bit: src/GvimExt/gvimext.dll 4. Get a "diff.exe" program. If you skip this the built-in diff will always be used (which is fine for most users). If you do have your own "diff.exe" put it in the "../.." directory (above the "vim90" directory, it's the same for all Vim versions). You can find one in previous Vim versions or in this archive: http://www.mossbayeng.com/~ron/vim/diffutils.tar.gz 5 Also put winpty32.dll and winpty-agent.exe in "../.." (above the "vim90" directory). This is required for the terminal window. 6. Do "make uganda.nsis.txt" in runtime/doc. This requires sed, you may have to do this on Unix. Make sure the file is in DOS file format! 7. Get gettext and iconv DLLs from the following site: https://github.com/mlocati/gettext-iconv-windows/releases Both 64- and 32-bit versions are needed. Download the files gettextX.X.X.X-iconvX.XX-shared-{32,64}.zip, extract DLLs and place them as follows: <GETTEXT directory> | + gettext32/ | libintl-8.dll | libiconv-2.dll | libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll | ` gettext64/ libintl-8.dll libiconv-2.dll The default <GETTEXT directory> is "..", however, you can change it by passing /DGETTEXT=... option to the makensis command. Install NSIS if you didn't do that already. Also install UPX, if you want a compressed file. Download and include the ShellExecAsUser.dll Unicode version which can be sourced from: https://nsis.sourceforge.io/ShellExecAsUser_plug-in Unpack the images: cd nsis unzip icons.zip Then build gvim.exe: cd nsis makensis gvim.nsi
