the emacs port seems a bit too low contrast http://dropup.net/lz64u0ctpcge.png.html http://dropup.net/lz64u0ctpcge.png.html

  Yes, that seems strange. Does emacs handle gamma differently?
  - sanityinc 16y ago
    Cocoa Emacs doesn't seem to handle gamma at all; the color you set isn't the color you get. I just raised an emacs bug here: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8402 http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8402

  After investigating this (and raising the aforementioned Emacs bug), I've concluded that sRGB hex colors - as used by Ethan - are simply not the right hex colors to enter in Emacs in order to get the desired results. Instead, Emacs apparently works with Generic RGB values, and after some laborious conversion calculations in Apple's "ColorSync Utility", I got the right results: https://github.com/purcell/color-theme-sanityinc-solarized https://github.com/purcell/color-theme-sanityinc-solarized The color fix will probably get into sellout's repo, so interested parties should prefer that one over mine.

Another porting it to Konsole. https://github.com/phiggins/solarized/commit/b3c2170ec01fb7d543c5cf8322a4207ff6be117a https://github.com/phiggins/solarized/commit/b3c2170ec01fb7d...

Why would you use this color scheme on a whole operating system?
- spacemanaki 16y ago
  I know you were joking, but actually, why not? If the color scheme is easier on someone's eyes, wouldn't it make sense to use it everywhere? Personally I've often found using dark themes in my editor a bit jarring when switching to other tools like a file browser or terminal if the settings are drastically different.

I made a similar port, with some different faces and a slightly different feel: https://github.com/purcell/color-theme-sanityinc-solarized https://github.com/purcell/color-theme-sanityinc-solarized (Using the latest Emacs under OS X, it suffers from the same color issues mentioned elsewhere in this comment thread, but hopefully Emacs will soon get fixed up accordingly.)
