Here’s a shot of my Emacs screen with the oldlace background. I think it looks nice and is easy to read. Those turn out to be #666 on white so while there’s a little less contrast than the stark black on white it’s hard to tell unless you look carefully. All the design decisions for the blog use the default values of the Twenty Ten theme. We’re talking about my Emacs screen so I don’t have to please anyone but myself. That definitely helped with the brightness and I will keep my Emacs this way for a few days before I decide whether to make the change permanent or go back to a white background.Īpparently I’m not alone in my aversion to low contrast colors but others aren’t so sure. The syntax highlighting didn’t stand out as well and I had a hard time reading some of the shades.Īs a compromise, I set the background color of my frame to “oldlace” (#fdf5e6) and left the other colors alone. Classic Solarized Sandal in New Solarized Color (44.99 ) It’s inspired by the comfort and functionality of the iconic Classic Clog, but its updated sandal design is sleek, breathable. The tricky part is I dont have administrator privileges in this machine. I finally realized that I didn’t like working with the low contrast colors. I would like to use the solarized color scheme in PuTTY. At first I couldn’t figure out why I didn’t like it as I said, it looked great on the Web site. I absolutely hated using the color scheme. The next thing I did was to comment out the enabling Emacs Lisp in my init.el and bounce Emacs again. So I downloaded Solarized and color-theme, made the necessary changes to my init.el, and bounced Emacs.
I’ve browsed the Solarized color scheme several times and thought it looked great on the Web site.
Lately this scheme has begun to feel overly bright and I thought I would try some lower contrast colors. Unlike many hackers, I don’t care for a dark-themed Emacs so I use the basic black on white screen.
