Unable to set custom TODO highlight colors

[colinsullivan]

Am I doing something wrong? My .vimrc:

let g:ft_ignore_pat = '\.org'                                                   
filetype plugin indent on " required!

...

" VimOrganizer                                                                  
au! BufRead,BufWrite,BufWritePost,BufNewFile *.org                              
au BufEnter *.org            call org#SetOrgFileType()                          
command! OrgCapture :call org#CaptureBuffer()                                   
command! OrgCaptureFile :call org#OpenCaptureFile()                             
let g:org_todo_setup='TODO STARTED WAITING NEEDS_TEST | DONE'                   

function! OrgCustomColors()                                                     
  let g:org_todo_custom_highlights =                                            
            \       { 'STARTED': { 'guifg':'#888888', 'guibg':'#222222',        
             \              'ctermfg':'gray', 'ctermbg':'darkgray'},            
             \      'WAITING': { 'guifg':'#aa3388',                             
             \                 'ctermfg':'red' } }                              
endfunction

But the STARTED, WAITING, and NEEDS_TEST options all have the same default red color. @odabrunz I tried with your fork as well.

Maybe it is MacVim?

Hi Colin -- It looks like you've done everything right; I'm sure problem
is in VimOrganizer.

In my own test it looks like the highlighting you specify does appear if
a heading
is folded -- if you've applied the level-dependent-highlighting patch to
Vim. If you haven't patched Vim then folded headings are all same color as
always.

I can confirm that I see the problem you've pointing out when a heading is
unfolded.

I've implemented the fix that I'll push up to github later today. Thanks
for pointing this out.

Thanks for the prompt attention! I am quite into this tool.

Just pulled the most recent code, now the highlighting only works at the top level headers, and not the sub-level ones! Before it was working on the sub-level headings but not the top-level ones.

How would I know if I have this level-dependent-highlighting patch, and do I need it?

My .vimrc:

let g:org_todo_setup='TODO STARTED WAITING NEEDS_TEST | DONE'                   

function! OrgCustomColors()                                                     
  let g:org_todo_custom_highlights =                                            
        \ { 'TODO':       { 'guifg': '#D60000' },                               
          \ 'STARTED':    { 'guifg': '#D68B00' },                               
          \ 'WAITING':    { 'guifg': '#EDED2B' },                               
          \ 'NEEDS_TEST': { 'guifg': '#2BEAED' },                               
          \ 'DONE':       { 'guifg': '#10BD00' }                                
        \ }                                                                     
endfunction

My .org file:

* Performance System
** Dedicated tap tempo on footpedal would provide nice flexibility for 
   improving with musically relevant controls.
** TODO map midi accomp volume
** TODO bass input into accomp
** TODO synthesize a kick sound
** synthesize a higher percussive sound
** TODO markov analysis of garrett's improv!
** TODO sequence TriFlutter
** STARTED to make setup easier: figure out MIDI indexing.
** DONE button to reset analysis
** DONE control labels
** TODO parameter automation (quivering)
   done server-side, knobs just control rates and center
   show rate and quivering values on GUI !
   * TODO For running water
   * TODO For granular synth
** TODO MIDI sync control and info on clock window
* To document?:
** challenges associated with modifying a MIDI clip as it is playing
* Other ideas:
** concert like organization but markov analysis of categories.

Colin -- Sorry, I tried to do quick fix without fully recalling how this
part of things worked. Now I see I had already done the work in different
spot and I can't quite figure out what's causing the problem. I'll try to
take another look today.

If you don't know whether you have the VIm patch then I'm sure you don't
have it. The code for the patch is in the /contrib directory of project
and you need to patch existing Vim source code and recompile Vim. The
patch allows headings to retain their proper colors even when they are
collapsed/folded (i.e, when text or other headings are hidden beneath them,
when you see a number |xx| at right side of window). You have probably
noticed that when you collapse headings the color changes and that all
collapsed headings have the same color, regardless of the level of the
heading. This is troublesome in many (most?) VimOrganizer documents, which
can have many levels of headings with tens or hundreds of lines of text
under each heading. The best way to work with such a document is to keep
the structure collapsed to two or three levels of headings, but in stock
Vim this has issue of making all levels the same color. With the patch the
headings retain same color they had when uncollapsed so structure of
document it much easier to see.

A second effect of the patch is to allow highlighting of a heading's TODO
words even when the heading is collapsed. In stock Vim all words in the
heading are the same color when collapsed, the patch fixes this so TODO
words stand out even when document is in a collapsed state.
