Vim color scheme overriding background settings in Gnome terminal

Question

I set my gnome terminal background to dark blue, with a bit of transparency so that I can see basic web pages or other documents when encoding.

I use the smyck color scheme, which seems to be my background as a background, so when I enter Vim it looks no problem.

(my terminal window is on top of the web page)

(same terminal window included in vim)

Recently, I decided to switch to a different color scheme. When I tested jellybeans, I noticed that he redefined the default background settings of my terminal, both its color and transparency, as you can see below.

(same terminal window coming in vim now with jellybeans)

I installed the AfterColors plugin, but I don’t know where to start setting up the color scheme to return the default background. Any recommendations?

Answer 1

Install ctermbg none:

hi Normal ctermbg=none 

Answer 2

In addition to the perreal answer, you also need

highlight NonText ctermbg=none

this will help make the other "nothing exists" area transparent.
