Hi,
I'm a newbie here and don't know if this is the right forum for my question, but I searched for a forum for gvim and can't find one.
My gvim shows always a blinking cursor, also if it is not the active xwindow. So I write very often in other xwindows, when editing with gvim. Is there a possibility to have only a blinking cursor if the gvim xwindow is active or perhaps to change the color scheme.

Run vim and try
:help blinking
which is part of the "guicursor" setting. (:help gcr)
You can also do
:help colorscheme
Hi otheus,
The themes you gave works always, but not dependent if the window ist active or not. When the window is not active the curser is to be not blinking.

I'd suggesting contacting the vim/gvim mailing lists for adding this as a feature to this function (gcr). Alternatively, if you know C, you can produce a patch yourself and submit it. Presumably you would register another "mode" with the gcr command, and if this mode is used, catch the window-focus/unfocus event and change the cursor.
