+Xresources Color Scheme
+-----------------------
+
+http://github.com/solarized/xresources
+
+Use of color schemes with X Windows is heavily dependent upon one's local
+configuration. Please see the fine [Arch Linux wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xresources) for guidance on the use of .Xresources and related files.
+
+Further information on the .Xresources file and its place in the X Window
+System can of course be found on [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_resources).
