Description
http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized
One article called it the Most Important Color Scheme in Computer History.
The guy spent six months working on it. I like the current dark theme in Creator, but I think such a well-designed, widely used palette would be better.
Editor support exists, but that doesn't affect the rest of Creator:
https://github.com/artm/qtcreator-solarized-syntax/blob/master/solarized-dark.xml
It also doesn't seem to apply cleanly (see attachment), with some caveats about Creator's behaviour in the notes:
Apparently, Qt Creator:
- ignores some of the attributes (e.g. background of CurrentLineNumber, foreground of SearchResult)
- derives extra colors from the style (for example for the backgrounds of nested blocks)
- derives gradients from some colors (e.g. Occurences). I haven't found a way to control all aspects of these elements. I let Qt Creator control the color of Occurences.Rename and (in the light style) of SearchScope)
composes the gradients / backgrounds in some cases which makes the result differ from style color. This makes the current line background lighter then expected, for example.- different types of background highlight which keep the thext color, mean I had to deviate from the canonical solarized.
