Terminal Colour Schemes. Wow so many people prefer a dark terminal scheme... here's mine, I think it's a modified and somewhat hacked Tango theme: (It has artifacts because I forgot to make the terminal opaque; I think underneath the terminal window you can see bits of Firefox and Vim =/ ) @Barrucadu: How did you get the colour names to appear in your colortheme script?
Edit: ~/.Xdefaults and all that: !! Seebi/dircolors-solarized. Solarized - Ethan Schoonover. Precision colors for machines and people Solarized is a sixteen color palette (eight monotones, eight accent colors) designed for use with terminal and gui applications.
It has several unique properties. I designed this colorscheme with both precise CIELAB lightness relationships and a refined set of hues based on fixed color wheel relationships. Solarized fix for .vimrc.
