I just came across this one: http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized I've been playing a puzzle game which uses this scheme for partial solutions. I had to change the yellow because it made me want to hurl when used as a background. It's not so bad as a foreground on white, I see. Only nice as a foreground makes it useless for those totalitarian applications which require color, but I use as few of them as possible anyway.

There's actually a bug in their Xresources file, imo: https://github.com/altercation/solarized/pull/109 This improves the contrast a lot, e.g. see my screenshot: http://dwm.suckless.org/screenshots/dwm-20110720.png -- # Petr Sabata pgpgO6gnRYbWA.pgp Description: PGP signature

I just hope, this won't get too religious. Yep, I've been using Solarized for a few months now. For me, it's the best scheme I've tried so far... The contrast's okay and my eyes don't hurt even after 16 hours coding. The downside is its author pretty much ignores everybody [1].

I use molokai http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2340 (screenshots at http://winterdom.com/2008/08/molokaiforvim ). It has some low contrast elements, but most stuff is pretty high contrast, and I'm one of those people that really like 256 color terminals; this might be too angry fruit salad for some. (The lowest contrast thing are comments, which I think aids readability. Unfortunately, by default, quoted text in email is also low contrast. Anyway, its color contrasts are vastly greater than, say, zenburn's.)
Re: [dev] color-scheme
Sam's color scheme. If I have to use vim I use zenburn, but that one looks alright. On Jul 25, 2011 12:23 PM, ilf i...@zeromail.org wrote: What's your favorite color-scheme?

Re: [dev] color-scheme
I'm using solarized now, but that might change shortly. FG/BG have very little contrast, even when focused, and changing that seems to defeat the purpose of the scheme. I like the idea of zenburn and desert256, but they're too warm overall for my tastes. When I get home I can upload a custom scheme I created a ways back for personal use which is along the lines of zenburn/desert256

Re: [dev] color-scheme
hiro - I fail to see who you're referring to. If it's my post, then you missed the point...
