Scripts for setting the Solarized color set with Gnome Terminal. Scripts by Sigurd Gartmann sigurdga@sigurdga.no and Paul Thomson captbunzo@gmail.com, based on colors by Ethan Schoonover es@ethanschoonover.com.
In Gnome terminal there are built-in color profiles, but these are hardcoded and we cannot change or add these profiles. Here, you'll find a script that will set the palette colors, foreground, background and highlight colors to a light or dark color scheme.
There is no uninstall option as that would probably make the scripts a few times bigger than what they are today. Code contributions to make an uninstall option would be highly appreciated by the users.
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.
Visit the Solarized homepage
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 colors for Gnome Terminal is maintained in Gnome Terminal Colors Solarized repository.
Clone the [git repository], then run one of the scripts: set_light.sh or set_dark.sh.
$ git clone git://github.com/sigurdga/gnome-terminal-colors-solarized.git
$ cd gnome-terminal-colors-solarized
$ ./install.sh
The install.sh script will guide you through some settings, asking if you want the light or dark color scheme, and which of your Gnome Terminal profiles you will apply it to.
Make sure you are creating a new profile if you do not want to lose your original color profile, as we do not provide any uninstall option.
