A simpler Solarized theme.

Why

I generally dislike my editor looking like confetti, so I've removed a lot of the scope colors from a Solarized TextMate theme.

Maintaining consistency between themes (light/dark) and editors/IDEs is tedious; editing a single template file and a map of colors is not.

What

• Comments are a muted foreground color, exhibiting minimal contrast from the background color
• Class names and related tokens are purple
• Storage types, tags (HTML, XML), keywords, language constants, and CSS IDs are bold with no special color
• Numeric constants are teal
• Strings and regular expressions are yellow

(The colors referenced above are the original Solarized colors from http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized)

How

Build light and dark themes by running make. Edit scope settings via changing stuff in template files. Edit colors via changing values in the base/light/dark color files, within the colors directory.

How-ier

1. Per-app color theme templates are read from the templates directory.
2. Template variables are replaced with the key-value pairs read from the theme files in the colors/themes directory.
3. Output theme files are written to the build directory. Directories are created for each per-app template, and light and dark themes are created within each app directory.

Who

Currently supports these editors:

• Sublime Text 3
• TextMate, maybe
