FAQ *startify-faq*
I don't want the start screen to use cursorline!~
Startify sets its own filetype "startify". Thus one could set buffer-local
options like this:
>
autocmd FileType startify setlocal nocursorline
<
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recent files aren't shown!~
Perhaps the problem is that the viminfo file..
- doesn't exist
- is invalid
- is empty
- can't be read (check permissions)
I suggest the following steps:
1) Create a new directory:
>
$ mkdir -p ~/.vim/files/info
<
2) Put this into your vimrc:
>
set viminfo='100,n$HOME/.vim/files/info/viminfo
<
See |'viminfo'| for information about the second step and what it does
exactly.

Last recently used files don't seem to get updated at :Startify!~
Vim loads the list from viminfo only once, at startup.

I have broken colors when using sessions!~
Nothing this plugin could do about. Try playing around with 'sessionoptions'.
NOTE: Startify removes 'options' from the session options automatically,
because it's the source of many problems.
Some people swear it works for them with these settings:
>
set sessionoptions=blank,curdir,folds,help,tabpages,winpos

How to disable common but unimportant files?~
Use the skiplist. Personally I use:

let g:startify_skiplist = [
\ 'COMMIT_EDITMSG',
\ $VIMRUNTIME .'/doc',
\ 'bundle/.*/doc',
\ '\.DS_Store'
\ ]
