Tildes looks nice in Qutebrowser w/ Solarized Dark

Posted by jamesbvaughan

I enjoy having a consistent colorscheme for all the applications I use and right now I'm using solarized dark since it seems to be one of the most widely available. I was happy to see that it's one of the official colorschemes for Tildes and I like how nicely it fits with my Qutebrowser colors: https://i.imgur.com/bXzTjtT.png

    Solarized Dark looks nice in general. Deimos did a great job.

      I think my biggest issue with Solarized Dark right now is that the purple color might be too hard to distinguish from the background, it makes visited links and things like the "already voted"...

        Have you tried it on different displays? I've never had difficulty with purple and the background on mine.

          On my phone and my desktop monitor. It's not bad on either of them, just not quite as obvious as I'd like.

      Is that what this is? Alternative operating systems fascinate me, probably because I've never really used one.

        My screenshot is just of my web browser (Qutebrowser), and it is running in Linux in my case, but it's also available for Mac and Windows. It's an awesome browser if you enjoy doing things from the keyboard more than with your mouse.

        If you're interested in it, I wrote up a blog post explaining the things that I like about it: https://jamesbvaughan.com/qutebrowser/
