FWIW I=E2=80=99d say Solarized Dark is far tamer than the light version, an= d it sometimes feels like the light version was never intended seriously by the colourscheme=E2=80=99s original creator. > The solarised themse are good themes and quite popular and I think they > should definitely be added to the default set of themes included in Emacs. > Whether either of them should be the default theme is another question, b= ut > it would be good to be able to just turn them on if needed. That=E2=80=99s why I think fiddling with defaults is kinda missing the poin= t. We all have what our minds want and bodies need, and the colours of a program we=E2=80=99ll use a lot, if configurable, is one of the first things we=E2=80=99ll adjust. When I watch coding videos for example, I rarely see people sticking to even VS Code=E2=80=99s or Sublime Text=E2=80=99s default colourschemes, which are dark and =E2=80=98trendy=E2=80=99. So it might no= t be worth the breakage. -- =C4=B0. G=C3=B6ktu=C4=9F Kayaalp / @cadadr / pgp: 024C 30DD 597D 142B 49AC 40EB 465C D949 B101 2427
