Solarized color theme for the linux TTY

A tty solarized theme using Ethan Schoonover’s Solarized color theme.

If you are looking for colors on your xterm, konsole, terminator, urxvt, guake, aterm and friends, please search a bit more. This script is for setting the colors on a linux TTY, the real terminal that you get if you are not running X or wayland.

Repositories

• This theme as a single repository: tty-solarized
• The main solarized repository: solarized

Installation

Source either tty-solarized-dark.sh or tty-solarized-light.sh in the startup file of your shell. As this is only run on TTYs where usually a login shell is started, the login file of your shell (${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zlogin for zsh or ~/.profile for bash). Now the 'normal' names for colors are available to your applications.

Included is also the awk-script used to generate those two files. Would the color scheme be changed upstream, anyone with gawk installed can update these files.
