I understand conceptually what Ethan wanted to accomplish with Solarized, but in practice I find I need to make an effort to read it.


Well, light or dark? I go Solarized Light.


I am using both depending on the light around me. A little helper function bound to f9 makes that really convenient.


Solarized Dark here


Light, which I voted for.

Been using it for >1yr and so far so good, more soothing to look at. You?


I've also been using solarized light in vim, urxvt, and Awesome WM on Linux. On Windows at work I use solarized light in Putty, Mintty, Eclipse, and Gvim.


I'm using eclipse and don't see an option for installing it on the Solarized site. Did you just set up your own color scheme that matches it?


Yes, me too. I use the dark theme in Visual Studio and Vim, but have the light theme running in SQL Enterprise Manager (which I use rarely).

I like both themes, but have been sticking to the dark one because of display issues on my laptop.


I use Josh Kill's dark "kolor" theme in Espresso and love it.

Squarespace also made this an option in their new CSS editor, which is awesome.


Wow, this is nice! I have already made the switch on all of my primary editors. Thanks.


Getting a "502 Bad Gateway The server returned an invalid or incomplete response." for a couple of hours now.

Hope it is fixed soon, want to try it out.


Solarized is the ideal colorscheme. I use light in the morning, and dark in the evening


Yup, Solarized Light for me.


This is great! Thank you for sharing. I appreciate all of the IDE links.


Love the fact I can switch Solarized light/dark in MacVim easily.
