I recently blogged on the Fedora Magazine about the awesome addition of the Solarized colour schemes in GEdit and GNOME-terminal in workstation [1]. And a commenter on that post asked the question: why not make it default?
Since terminal ships with the dark GTK theme turned on, we could set the default color scheme there to Solarized Dark, and for gedit (that uses the light GTK theme by default), enable Solarized Light by default.

For what it's worth I think this is a great idea; I use Solarized wherever I can.
Cheers, R

Hi,
the reason we would not change at gedit level is that the classic theme from gedit which is the shipped by default follows the theme (Adwaita) colors, making it more approapiate since it follows better the colors from the desktop while solarized or any of the others it doesn't.
Regards.

Unless Adwaita was built around the colors of the classic theme in gtksourceview, this is not the case. The "classic.xml" colour theme predates GTK3 -- the colour pallette has been the same since before gtksourceview 2.91 was released [1], [2].

The solarized palette is a lot softer, and complements the adwaita theme much better than the default classic theme. Here are some screenshots comparing the two styles [3], [4].

the classic theme does not override the colors set by the theme, in this case Adwaita see: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtksourceview/tree/data/styles/classic.xml
fwiw: I am completely opposed to this change specially because: 1. the solarized theme is not used by any of the gtksourceview maintainers (me included), meaning that if we change something in gtksourceview it will not get noticed in time. 2. it does not follow adwaita
Cheers.

So, I just tried this out in the terminal. I'm not sure I would support it as the default because Solarized's palette (at least in F-20) changes the actual colors such that a terminal app coded to display 'yellow' will get something that isn't.

Solarize light and dark are very good color themes for terminal and text editing, but as default? I don't know, it's not suitable for everyone. There should be a quick way to change to them, that I agree, but not sure I would set them as defaults.

I wonder if this is an issue with the implementation of the Solarized theme in gnome-terminal. I can't seem to find any other examples of this issue with people using the Solarized theme in terminals.
