I'm currently using Termonad as my terminal of choice. What is Termonad?
Termonad is a terminal emulator configurable in Haskell. It is extremely customizable and provides hooks to modify the default behavior. It can be thought of as the "XMonad" of terminal emulators.
As a long time Xmonad user, this is a rather appealing description as well as a fairly lofty and worthy goal. It's also a niche not currently filled, one that I'm pretty happy to see being filled. By default, Termonad looks like this.
Which is pretty standard as far as terminal defaults go but a long way from the eye-soothing grace of the Solarized palette which I essentially won't work without.
The Solarized dark output looks like this (Haskell in vim):
This is the function controlling the dark palette:
solarizedDark1 :: Vec N8 (Colour Double)
solarizedDark1 =
sRGB24 0 43 54 -- base03, background
:* sRGB24 220 50 47 -- red
:* sRGB24 133 153 0 -- green
:* sRGB24 181 137 0 -- yellow
:* sRGB24 38 139 210 -- blue
:* sRGB24 211 54 130 -- magenta
:* sRGB24 42 161 152 -- cyan
:* sRGB24 238 232 213 -- base2
:* EmptyVec
solarizedDark2 :: Vec N8 (Colour Double)
solarizedDark2 =
sRGB24 7 54 66 -- base02, background highlights
:* sRGB24 203 75 22 -- orange
:* sRGB24 88 110 117 -- base01, comments / secondary text
:* sRGB24 131 148 150 -- base0, body text / default code / primary content
:* sRGB24 147 161 161 -- base1, optional emphasised content
:* sRGB24 108 113 196 -- violet
:* sRGB24 101 123 131 -- base00
:* sRGB24 253 246 227 -- base3
:* EmptyVec
The Solarized light output looks like this (Haskell in vim):
This is the function controlling the light palette:
solarizedLight1 :: Vec N8 (Colour Double)
solarizedLight1 =
sRGB24 238 232 213 -- base2, background highlights
:* sRGB24 220 50 47 -- red
:* sRGB24 133 153 0 -- green
:* sRGB24 181 137 0 -- yellow
:* sRGB24 38 139 210 -- blue
:* sRGB24 211 54 130 -- magenta
:* sRGB24 42 161 152 -- cyan
:* sRGB24 7 54 66 -- base02
:* EmptyVec
solarizedLight2 :: Vec N8 (Colour Double)
solarizedLight2 =
sRGB24 253 246 227 -- base3, background
:* sRGB24 203 75 22 -- orange
:* sRGB24 147 161 161 -- base1, comments / secondary text
:* sRGB24 101 123 131 -- base00, body text / default code / primary content
:* sRGB24 88 110 117 -- base01, optional emphasised content
:* sRGB24 108 113 196 -- violet
:* sRGB24 131 148 150 -- base0
:* sRGB24 0 43 54 -- base03
:* EmptyVec
You can see how I've applied these options in this commit.
Update: My complete example is now included in the termonad examples.
