Re: strange difference in UI for identical .vimrc

Colorschemes were changed, now all of them define Normal highlight.

To make it transparent, you can follow :h :colorscheme (several paragraphs down):

If a color scheme is almost right, you can add modifications on top of it by
using the |ColorScheme| autocommand.  For example, to remove the background
color (can make it transparent in some terminals): >
    augroup my_colorschemes
      au!
      au Colorscheme pablo hi Normal ctermbg=NONE
    augroup END

Change a couple more colors: >
    augroup my_colorschemes
      au!
      au Colorscheme pablo hi Normal ctermbg=NONE
              \ | higlight Special ctermfg=63
              \ | highlight Identifier ctermfg=44
    augroup END

Also :h new-colorschemes-9

Colorschemes from https://github.com/vim/colorschemes have been included.
They were made to work consistently across many types of terminals.  Although
generally an improvement, a lot of personal preference is involved.  You can
always get the old version if you prefer it, look here:

Thats what I thought to but see experiment below.

Since I always ssh into machine that shows the background (it is my
"work" vm and my desktop is for more general purpose computing like
this email and watching youtube). BTW both machines are FreeBSD 12.1

It seems now that FreeBSD has switched over to Wayland you can not do
intermachine remote xproto stuff. Gvim does open with an opaque
background on the desktop machine though.
