Terminal color schemes that play nice with f.lux?

4 points by iraphael 10y ago ↗ HN

I love f.lux. I love the Solarized Dark color scheme. I hate the two together.

At night, my terminal has so little contrast that I have to turn my screen's brightness up just to read comments. That also means that if I'm switching between the terminal and online documentation, I have to adjust the brightness all the time.

Does anyone know of a good dark color scheme that looks as nice as Solarized (especially when f.lux is off), AND will play nice when blue hues are gone?

I'm not sure what platform you are on, but on osx I use iTerm.

Under Profiles > Colors there is a slider for Contrast. Dragging that to High will fix the problem at night [1]. I just have a different profile set for those late-night coding sessions with flux.

That's an interesting solution. I'm on OSX too but I use Terminal.app. I'll try to find a similar feature for it or look into iTerm.

Thanks :)
