I don't know for sure about the light green poart but I found that vim
or gvim for that matter don't recognize the back ground setting.  for a
dark background try the commands

:set bg=dark
syn on

These tell vim htat the background is dark (duh) and the syn on tells it
to turn on syntax highlighting (again if already done) and it will
select colors appropriate to the background.  MUCH better.

If this work you can put those commands in the ~/.vimrc file and it
should work all the time.

The syntax files are really scary.  I suppose if I tried I MIGHT could
figure out what was going on in there but it was overwhelming the only
time I looked in there when I was trying to get a readable color
combination for bash highlighting.  Now If I could only get it to
recognize the $(command) construct I would be jammin'.
