Thing of the Week – The Solarized Color Scheme

Yes, I'm working through Python the Hard Way

Late last week, I saw Ben Brooks link to the Solarized color scheme from Ethan Schoonover. Initially I was a little skeptical of Mr. Brooks’s claim that he was using it now “for everything,” and took a look. He was exactly right. I applied the TextMate theme and was blown away at how comfortable it is to work in. I’ve now applied the color scheme to the Terminal, OmniFocus and (using the OS X color palette) I even retouched Scrivener to display the light theme.

Just one more justification for my quest to never open Word or Pages ever again.

    Hi John,

    I love the Solarized theme, and have applied it to as many applications or editors as I can. I don’t really understand how the palette works, so for (e.g.) Notational Velocity, I’ve done it ‘by ear’, so the results aren’t very precise. Could you please explain how you set it up in Scrivener?

    Thanks!
