Solarized Color Scheme
Locked
 
|
I remember there were some discussions about (theme / syntax highlighting) colors on this list in the past, and someone said that picking good colors is an art. I came across this site:
http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized And it seems to me that this could be a good basis for a professional color scheme in one of Pharo's look and feels. As a fan / user of Glamorous, using the light theme on top of it would seem great. I am just posting this as a way to bookmark this link and because it might be useful. Solarized is MIT licensed.

the red in @param in java does not work so it is strange
same remarks for ruby. Now the text color is nice and lavande are nice but I wonder for color blind people On Apr 1, 2011, at 1:27 PM, Tudor Girba wrote: > Interesting link.

The old red was L value 45 and was the only accent color that dark. Red is very challenging in general (particularly given the contraints I set in order to toggle light and dark) and I have truly spent *days* testing reds for this scheme. No kidding. I dreamt Lab and hex values. The new red is L 50 which translates to sRGB space as a much less saturated value. > I tested it with Sim Daltonism: > http://michelf.com/projects/sim-daltonism/ > It does pretty well (except for Protanopia). I'll take a look at that tool as well. For what it's worth, I did do some testing (loaded the scheme into colorschemer and simulated color blindness) as well during the development of Solarized. What I finally came back to was ensuring that L*a*b lightness was accurate and consistent. My assumption was that L lightness would translate to an equivalent L lightness (regardless of *a*b perceived value) in most color blindness, but this may not be an accurate assumption. This would at least retain readability. I try to limit colors to "value added" accents only. Feedback from those interested in this issue specifically is welcome. I'm sure I could do some more work in this area. Best, Ethan Schoonover [hidden email] |

Thank ethan
I would really like to see your colors used in our environment. Now I think that we have to work on the mapping to constructs. BTW we had fun on (not so related) microprints (was just an experiment: http://scg.unibe.ch/archive/papers/Robb05b-microprintsESUG.pdf Stef On Apr 2, 2011, at 5:34 AM, Ethan Schoonover wrote: > Tudor Girba <tudor.girba@...> writes: > >>> the red in @param in java does not work so it is strange > > The red has been revised for beta2 (it's the only color I had an alternate for > -- two alternates actually, one of which was further tested and will be the > final color).
