Irssi theme?
The default Irssi theme doesn't play too well with Solarized Dark. It'd be interesting to see an Irssi theme designed from the ground up to be as well designed and concise as Solarized / it's website.
I started tweaking the 'clean' irssi theme last night to get it looking good with the Solarized Light theme. Definitely needs tweaking, but I've been enjoying it so far. http://lewk.org/solarish.theme
I would like this also. Having a difficult time getting things to look right with solarized-dark.
@lmacken - I haven't tested that yet but a) I'm assuming you are running with terminal colors set to light solorized and b) can you email or post a screenshot? [email protected]
Agree, +1 for Irssi theme, @lmacken seems to have a good base --
@altercation -- screen of where solarish.theme is at: https://skitch.com/jpeasy/r4g8g/1-screen
Looking good. Please see my new developers notes doc on my recommendation to make this into a stand alone repository. @lmacken, I'm assuming you can post one? I'm trying to stick to something like irssi-colors-solarized for consistency (as a top level directory) with the irssi specific README and files inside.

If someone else wants to post a repo and y'all coordinate on it, fine as well.
@lmacken: shouldnt sb_window_bg be "%2%w"; ? %k gives black on green, which isn't what your screenshot is showing.
I have a Solarized color scheme ready to submit and check in.
But I won't be sure if it's correct until this issue is settled for me: https://github.com/altercation/solarized/issues/90
@lkraav: Yeah, you're probably right...I'm not very confident in the 'solarish' theme as it is, especially since I've been bouncing between light/dark a bit lately. I simply made it as a foundation to a real solarized theme, which apparently @huyz has, but it it's not checked in anywhere yet. Since @huyz already has a repo created for it, I'll let him drive :)
@lmacken: i've been running with your solarish theme for a bit now and am quite happy with it so far. put some modifications in for my likings, i'll see if i can get it out into a repo with some screenshots.
i'm pretty much done with solarized dark, ever since i discovered night mode for both os x (ctrl-alt-cmd-8) and xorg (xcalib -invert). daytime is fully solarized light time for me and when everything turns dark, i just invert the wm and that takes care of the browser and other stuff as well. those blind you anyway as soon as you switch from terminal, if you stick with just solarized dark.
Sorry for the delay. Let me try to do that today. The issue https://github.com/altercation/solarized/issues/90 wasn't settled, but I'm pretty sure of what the answer is. So I'll go ahead and release my irssi and dircolors themes accordingly.
Sorry, ok now I'm really starting on this. I have all the screenshots and all. I just need to write a comprehensive README and explain the bold/bright and the terminal-inheritance situations. Also have to check into the separation between config and theme, which are not 100% separate.
All right folks, it took a while to write the explanation of Solarized for terminals, but I hopefully have cleared up the confusion regarding terminals. I now have text that every one who writes a Solarized color theme for the terminal can copy.

The efforts in this thread look better than the default, but I think making a 'true' solarized theme (like the Vim theme) for irssi is not possible since it only supports 8 background colors. I could not get a decent theme out of this, so I switched to another IRC client :)
here's my effort forked from great work from huyz: https://github.com/lkraav/irssi-colors-solarized/tree/master/solarligned
let's get the ball rolling again.
- jpeasy seems to have an okay light version, although it could use more hilighting of specific parts of the screen. it doesn't seem very colorfull, and no dark version is shown?
- lkraav: something seems wrong with your dark version, it doesn't look anything like solarized with dark background.
- huyz's version looks nice, both light and dark look well, and it seems to me this is a good candidate for merging. maybe it could still be a bit extended (for example the nick list could use more colors, how do actions/hilights look like ,etc), but from everything listed here it seems the best one so far, to me.
well my description clearly states that my dark version is achieved with inverting whole X with xcalib, so it's not actually solarized dark. reasoning is given as well - works for all apps. on my part, i'm interested in getting the best possible solarized light theme version completed.
sorry, I didn't take the time yesterday to properly read your readme. I understand your reasoning now. That said, I still prefer Huyz's version, it uses only strong colors for strings that are more important (yet, uses enough colors to make things clear), in contrast to your version which seems a bit too "verbose" color-wise. I suggest @altercation just merges Huyz's version, it's a good starting point. It can then still be updated and improved by means of pull requests to the official solarized repo. I.e. don't worry if this theme is not 100% to your liking, but we need a structured way to work together, and the best way for that is by moving one of the themes to the official repo. And Huyz's version is imho the best starting point.
that's totally fine, i have no desire to be merged upstream. just use whatever is useful, if anything, and i'll pull useful things back into my approach.
I've created a patch for tmux which allows color mapping at terminal layer. It works for me and solved exactly this screen issue. May be somebody wants to add the solarized scheme, too? http://benjamin-schweizer.de/colorful-terminals-theme-support-for-tmux.html
@huyz Looks like your (or any other) irssi theme did not get merged into the master repo. Do you plan to revive it and get it merged?
@idlethread Hmmm, I haven't been using irssi for a couple of years. So I don't think I'll be touching this theme until I use irssi again, if ever.
@jonpaul I don't see any Solarized yet, but WeeChat does appear to have themes now. http://weechat.org/themes/
