Solarized for LimeChat

LimeChat is an IRC client for OS X. You can get it at http://limechat.net/mac/

Solarized is a supremely well thought-out color scheme. Read more here: http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized

I've created a theme for Limechat for both dark:

And light:

Responsive

Both of these themes have one breakpoint at 720px. Smaller than this, the font-size is set to 12px. Larger than 720px, the font size is 14px. The body is given a max-width of 960px so that even if the Limechat window gets very large, the character count of each line will not be uncomfortable to read. The content will simply center in the window.

Installing

Installing Limechat themes is easy, just:

# Clone the github repo to your Limechat Themes folder
$ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/LimeChat/Themes/
$ git clone https://github.com/paulcpederson/solarized-limechat.git

# Symlink the appropriate theme files to the Limechat Themes folder
$ ln -s solarized-limechat/Solarized\ Dark.* .;
$ ln -s solarized-limechat/Solarized\ Light.* .

Then just choose "Solarized Light" or "Solarized Dark" inside limechat's preferences.
