Solarized (dark) theme #265

Open Mikaela opened 5 years ago

Mikaela commented 5 years ago

Solarized is a sixteen color palette (eight monotones, eight accent colors) designed for use with terminal and gui applications. It has several unique properties. I designed this colorscheme with both precise CIELAB lightness relationships and a refined set of hues based on fixed color wheel relationships. It has been tested extensively in real world use on color calibrated displays (as well as uncalibrated/intentionally miscalibrated displays) and in a variety of lighting conditions.

I personally like how Solarized themes are available in so many apps (probably due to how the colours are defined and there is no reinventing the wheel?) and I find it not too difficult to look at while I am feeling like migraine is coming soon and I think it would make Riot more pleasant to look at for a longer time and fit into the rest of my desktop better.

I saw Solarized mentioned only at https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/1635#issuecomment-269270389 but thought to open an issue here instead of Riot Web in case there are people who would prefer to use it on mobile, I guess I might as I don't have an AMOLED display on my main phone anymore (while on those black is the best colour for not using battery).
