==============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

See the [homepage for the Solarized colorscheme][solarized] for versions for
|
|
|
|
|
Vim, popular terminal emulators and other applications.

Installation
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Move the mutt-colors-solarized directory into the same location as your
|
|
|
|
|
muttrc. Alternately, you can copy just the version of the colorscheme you
|
|
|
|
|
will be using (see below for details).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Source the colorscheme in your muttrc. Only one of the following, depending
|
|
|
|
|
on the light or dark background you wish to use, and whether you want to use
|
|
|
|
|
the native 16 colors of your terminal emulator or the approximatation
|
|
|
|
|
provided by the 256 color values. See note below for recommendations.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|

Which Variation?
|
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the [Solarized homepage][solarized] for screenshots which will help you
|
|
|
|
|
select either the light or dark background.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A thornier question is whether to use the 16 color version or the 256 color
|
|
|
|
|
version. I have spent a great deal of time refining this colorscheme and for
|
|
|
|
|
the most accurate experience I recommend that you set your terminal emulator to
|
|
|
|
|
use the Solarized colorvalues with the 16 color mutt colorschemes in this
|
|
|
|
|
distribution. Terminal colorschemes/values are available at the homepage linked
|
|
|
|
|
to above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 256 color versions provide an approximate experience of the colorscheme in
|
|
|
|
|
most regards, though the carefully selected monotones are crudely replaced by
|
|
|
|
|
neutral tones.
