Scripts for setting the Solarized color set with Gnome Terminal.
Only the foreground, background and highlight colors are different in the light and dark color sets, as one of the main ideas behind Ethan Schonoovers work is to use the same colors in the palette for both.
If you are not happy, you can change which colors are used for what in the shell. This can be done by using ls-colors-solarized.
See the Solarized homepage for theory behind the colors, screenshots, details and colorscheme versions for Vim, Mutt, popular terminal emulators and other applications.
For the original works of Ethan Schoonover, visit the Solarized repository. The scripts for Gnome Terminal is maintained in Gnome Terminal Colors Solarized repository.
Clone the [git repository], then run ./solarize. To change between light and
dark background, run ./solarize again.
$ git clone git://github.com/sigurdga/gnome-terminal-colors-solarized.git
$ cd gnome-terminal-colors-solarized
$ ./solarize
If you are running on Linux Mint or Ubuntu with Gnome 3.8 (or higher), do not forget to install dconf-cli if you don't already have it :
$ sudo apt-get install dconf-cli
Only the install.sh script is compatible with Gnome-Terminal >= 3.8.
$ ./install.sh
And just follow the instructions.
Change to another profile in Gnome Terminal, then remove the Solarized profile by running:
$ rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Solarized/
For Gnome 3.8 or higher, be sure to have the dconf-cli package installed if you are running on Ubuntu or Linux Mint and do :
$ dconf reset -f /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/PROFILE_ID"
Replace PROFILE_ID by your profile ID (you can get it in your profile configuration in gnome-terminal).
- Let the scripts set dircolors
- Merge dconf and gconf versions
- Check dircolors or Xresources for conflicting colors with background
This is the prioritized order. If you know that dircolors files are handles differently in your OS than what is normal in Ubuntu/Debian/Arch/++, please let us know. Suggestions or patches are very welcome.
