On: Opinionated dotfiles for vim, zsh, git and OS X

Am I the only one who can't use Solarized because it gives me a headache? I'm not trolling, I'm being serious. The contrast between the text and the background is lower than in a black background/white foreground setup. It strains my eyes, giving me a headache after about 10 minutes or so.

I wish for a higher contrast as well. That's really unfortunate because that's one of the theme which is nice, well thought and ubiquitous.

Right now I'm using Molokai.

I fixed this for myself by changing the background to a darkish brown: https://github.com/ajacksified/vim-colors-solarized-brown

Similar still, but a little higher contrast.

Oh Boy! Now, I'm kinda relieved that I'm not one of the only few who's not impressed by Solarized. I tried it with Sublime Text because it's one of the very popular theme. However, I went back to a much higher contrast setting like - Monokai - that comes default with Sublime Text is pretty good.

For vim I really like the github color theme: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2855. I do use solarized for my term though.

No, you are not the only one.
