Great theme.

iTerm2 (its own theme set to Solarized, as advised in the readme here) minibuffer prompt looks like this:

GUI same theme looks like this:

Anyway to make the iTerm2 minibuffer prompt (which shows M-x..) to stand out more? Reverse, perhaps?

Looks like you have "Brighten bold text" enabled. In iterm2 goto Preferences -> Profiles -> Colors and uncheck "Brighten bold text".

A normal 16 color terminal colorscheme is 8 colors + 8 bright versions of the previous colors so this option is usually on by default. With Solarized, we are using the 16 color slots to form a 16color palette and the normal-bright relationship doesn't hold.

Many thanks.
