I have the often reported issue with background color bleeding in vim when used in byobu with tmux. I tried all different options with setting the 256-color option. Nothing worked.
First of all I should figure out what my setup is. What I know of is, that I am using bash and the default terminal emulator in ubuntu. But am I using xterm? I don't know. And thus I don't know if the guide at https://sunaku.github.io/vim-256color-bce.html would apply.
Further more some answers are a few years old and I am wondering if those would still apply to current setups.
What I know about my environment:
~$ byobu -V
tmux 2.1
~$ tmux -V
tmux 2.1
~$ echo $COLORTERM
~$ echo $TERM
xterm-256color
~$ echo $0
bash
~$
~$ cd .byobu/
~/.byobu$ cat backend
BYOBU_BACKEND=tmux
~/.byobu$ cat color.tmux
BYOBU_DARK="\#333333"
BYOBU_LIGHT="\#EEEEEE"
BYOBU_ACCENT="\#75507B"
BYOBU_HIGHLIGHT="\#DD4814"
~/.byobu$ cat profile.tmux
source $BYOBU_PREFIX/share/byobu/profiles/tmux
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"
What is missing here that vim lines still display like this:
