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). (I know, it is a long list,
|
|
but the credit should be given.)
|
|
|
|
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 was ideal, but over the time it shifted from sensible defaults to
|
|
256 color approximation and added more options than was necessary.
|
|
|
|
Flattened could have been nice if it was updated and worked with the plugins
|
|
that I use.
|
|
|
|
The original 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!
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
What's the plan?
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
I'll probably merge changes from the defaults of solarized8 from time to time.
