Oh come on. Nobody is helping?
Ok no worries I got it. For anyone who wants to know, you have to open macvim, type
:edit .gvimrc
then at the end of that file add these lines:
set transparency=10
colorscheme pablo
Then save and quit by typing :wq
and then to hide the toolbar (which sucks IMHO) by default, open a new MacVim window and type
:edit .vimrc
Then at the end of that file, add these lines
if has("gui_running")
set guioptions=egmrt
endif
Optionally, if you want the text to wrap properly (without breaking your words), add this to the same .vimrc file (at the end)
set wm=4
I'm pretty sure all of this will work with any GUI vim (GVim, MacVim, etc.) In versions of VIM that run completely in the terminal, you only edit your .vimrc file for settings.
I hope this helps any new VIM users-- I had to scour the net for hours just to find simple stuff like this.
