Resources and dotfiles to ensure, that most, if not all of your system is in
✨ SOLARIZED DARK ✨
Instructions are based on Manjaro i3, including installation, but I'll drop some links to the repositories. I'm obviously skipping the ones, where it's easy to find in the settings. (IntelliJ etc.)
This repo is mirrored on GitHub and GitLab.
// TODO check ~/.Xresources colors
// TODO use ~/.Xresources colors
=================
Find your rc.conf file. It's probably in ~/.config/ranger/rc.conf.
If it isn't, do a ranger --copy-config=all to make them.
Look for this line(around line number 100): set colorscheme default
or whatever theme is chosen instead of default and change it to
set colorscheme solarized
If it is not there, just add this line.
Locate your config.el. (~/.doom.d/config.el)
Find the part where you (setq doom-theme 'doom-one) and change it to
(setq doom-theme 'doom-solarized-dark)
Of course, if you can't find the line, just add it.
You could probably do that through .Xresources, but I figured that out
afterwards. I'm aware that there is a comment above this segment explaining
just that in the i3 file.
Speaking of which, find the i3 config file,
which is located here: ~/.i3/config.
Close to the end of the file, you should find something that looks like
the following lines, but with differend hex values or even stuff like color0 or background
Obviously, change it to those values:
bar {

}

If you don't have this file, just touch ~/.Xresources.
The title says it all, you need to change your file,
so these values should look like this:
(This is not the whole file, just the lines that should be changed.
I'm not even sure if this is needed or correct,
it's just what my file looks like)

See dunstrc file in this repository.
I put in the whole file, you can obviously delete the ones you don't see fit.
On your system, you can find this file in ~/.config/dunstrc
Install spicetify-cli and spicetify-themes-git
yay -S spicetify-cli spicetify-themes-git for Arch-based distros using yay
Repositories: spicetify-cli spicetify-themes
(If you have any issues installing, read
https://github.com/khanhas/spicetify-cli/wiki/Installation#linux-and-macos
and other parts of their wiki.
The following is the usual case that they suggest, I copied it from there.)
Run this command to generate the config file:
spicetify
Make sure config file is created successfully and there is no error, then run:
spicetify backup apply enable-devtool
Throw in this one for good measure, shouldn't really do anything:
spicetify update
Go into this repository and copy the SolarizedDark folder that's in
spicetify and put it in your own ~/.config/spicetify/Themes/ folder.
(There is probably already one in there with the same name, I made some
improvements though)
Select the theme we just copied in:
spicetify config current_theme SolarizedDark
Apply the settings:
spicetify apply
The way I install this could be Manjaro i3 specific, I'm not sure if bmenu
comes preinstalled with arch.
Nevertheless, if you have pure Arch, you will figure it out.
Install gtk-theme-numix-solarized
yay -S gtk-theme-numix-solarized for Arch-based distros using yay
Repository: numix-solarized-gtk-theme
xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName -s "NumixSolarizedDarkCyan"
Open your bmenu (Mod+Ctrl+b is preconfigured for that on Manjaro-i3)
-> System & Settings (7)
-> Appearance (1)
-> Set GTK2 Theme (1)
Find NumixSolarizedDarkCyan in this list, put in the corresponding number,
push the enter key.
-> Set GTK3 Theme (2)
Find NumixSolarizedDarkCyan in this list, put in the corresponding number,
push the enter key.
That's it, all saved. You maybe have to close and open any GtK apps
for these changes to take hold.
There are solarized dark themes, but I don't like the color mapping of
the ones I tested. I use the add-on Zen Fox instead
Install that and of course, switch from light to dark.
You may already know Dark Reader, with which you can change the
Internet to be in dark mode. But did you know,
that you can change the color scheme?
Click on the little icon in your Navbar
-> go to Dev Tools (it's at the bottom right)
-> click Preview new design.
Now your menu should look a bit different.
Click the icon again.
-> Go to See all options, colors.
-> Change Background to #002b36 (Don't forget to hit the enter key)
-> Change Text to #93a1a1 (Enter key)
That's it!
Go to the DuckDuckGo front page
-> Click the burger menu (top right)
-> Themes
-> Appearance
Change all these fields:
Background Color: #002b36
Header Color: #073642
Result Title Color: #fdf6e3
Result Visited Title Color: #93a1a1
Result Snippet Color: #839496
Result URL Color: #2aa198
Result Hover, Module, and Dropdown Background Color: #073642
Save and Exit at the bottom and you are done.
Preferences (clicking your profile pic or on the workspace)
-> Themes
Obviously choose Dark
Additionally, under Colors there's this field, with the description:
Copy and paste these values to share your custom theme with others
where you just paste in this:
#073642,#002B36,#B58900,#FDF6E3,#CB4B16,#FDF6E3,#2AA198,#DC322F,#002B36,#FDF6E3
