Solarized 16 (because we need another solarized theme)
|
|
======================================================
|
|
|
|
A fork of [solarized8](https://github.com/Lifepillar/vim-solarized8), which
|
|
is itself based on [solarized](http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized) and
|
|
[flattened](https://github.com/romainl/flattened).
|
|
|
|
This theme is just that: solarized8 with no configuration that only supports
|
|
solarized terminal colors and truecolor / gui. Since I've completely stripped
|
|
the 256 color approximation, I've decided to call this fork solarized16.
|
|
|
|
Why another solarized colorscheme?
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[Solarized8](https://github.com/Lifepillar/vim-solarized8) was perfect, but
|
|
over the time it shifted from sensible defaults to 256 color approximation and
|
|
added more options than was necessary.
|
|
|
|
[Flattened](https://github.com/romainl/flattened) could have been nice if it
|
|
was updated and worked with the plugins that I use.
|
|
|
|
The original [solarized](http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized) colorscheme code
|
|
is obnoxiously complicated. Also 256 color approximation is default and there
|
|
is no support for termguicolors.
|
|
|
|
What's in a name?
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
In terminal, this theme only uses the first 16 colors. Hence solarized16.
|
|
You can also think that it's two times more awesome than solarized8
|
|
(in reality it is not, the original offers many cool options if you're into
|
|
that).
|
|
|
|
But my terminal is not using solarized and my vim does not support tgc!
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Tough luck. Check out [solarized8](https://github.com/Lifepillar/vim-solarized8).
|
|
In my opinion though, 256 color approximation is so horrendously ugly, there
|
|
is no point including it. You might as well just go for a colorscheme written
|
|
specifically with 256 colors in mind, like lucius or PaperColors.
|
|
|
|
What's the plan?
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
I'll probably merge changes from the defaults of solarized8 from time to time.
