There are lots of websites out there where people have shared their terminal color schemes, I would recommend seeking one out and looking for a screenshot of one that catches your eye.
And to be fair to Solarized, it was really novel when it came out. But we’ve had years to improve upon it since.
So I’m genuinely interested to hear some recommendations. Ideally themes that are “standardised” (for lack of a better phrase) so that I’m likely to find a VSCode theme as well as iTerm2 etc.
I know I could just look online myself but customisation can quickly end up becoming an “addiction” (again, for want a better phrase) where you spend more time “configuring” than “doing”. A procrastination trap I’ve fallen into many times before. The appeal of Solarized is its better than most defaults and it’s easy to find so that stops me from spending too much time playing. And the appeal of having someone else tell me to use something else is that I also don’t fall into that proverbial rabbit hole.
Same questions to others who've posted qualms with Solarized.
I tend not to spend much time configuring things these days so have always landed on Solarized out of laziness.
