If the original color is too blue or bright, the following options can be used to make the background darker, since the background color is customizable.
To do so, one of the following code snippets should be added to VIMRC, before the following line:
colorscheme qbcolor
let g:qbcolor_bg = "dark_blue"
let g:qbcolor_bg = "dark_gray"
let g:qbcolor_bg = "black"
Simply delete the let g:qbcolor_bg = ".." line. The blue background can also be explicitely set:
let g:qbcolor_bg = "qb_blue"For Vundle users:
