+Solarized Color Theme for irsii
+===============================
+
+Initially created by Huy Z <huy-git-pub circled-a huyzing.com>, this is a
+repository of themes for the [irssi] IRC chat client that support the
+[Solarized] color scheme.

+implementations for terminal emulators and other applications, such as Vim,
+Emacs, and Mutt.
+
+Understanding Solarized Colors in Terminals
+-------------------------------------------
+
+### Solarized Colors vs. ANSI Colors ###
+
+8-color terminal programs such as irssi use color codes that correspond to the
+expected 8 normal ANSI colors.  irssi additionally supports bold, which
+terminal emulators will usually display by using the *bright* versions of the 8
+ANSI colors and/or by using a bold typeface with a heavier weight. (Note that
+different terminal emulators may have slightly different ideas of what color
+values to use when displaying the 16 [ANSI color escape
+codes](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#Colors)].)
+
+In order to be displayed by 8-color terminal programs, which cannot specify RGB
+values, Solarized must replace the default ANSI colors.  Since the Solarized
+palette uses 16 colors, not only must this color scheme replace the 8 normal
+colors but must also take over the 8 bright colors, for a total of 16 colors.
+This means that a Solarized terminal application loses the ability to bold text
+but gains 8 more Solarized colors.
+
+About half of the Solarized palette is reminiscent of the original ANSI
+colors, e.g. Solarized red is close to ANSI red (or more precisley, the
+general consensus of what ANSI red should look like).  But the rest of the
+Solarized colors do not correspond to any ANSI colors, e.g. there is no ANSI
+color that corresponds to Solarized orange or purple.
+
+This means that, for example, if the irssi theme wants to display "green", a
+Solarized terminal will display something close to green, but if the theme
+wants to display "bold yellow" or "bright yellow", a Solarized terminal will
+not be able to display it.  However, a Solarized theme will be able to display
+the new colors orange and purple and also several shades of gray.  This is
+again thanks to the replacement of the ANSI **bright** colors; e.g. ANSI "bold
+red", which is usually displayed as "bright red", will now show as Solarized
+orange, while ANSI "bold blue", which is usually displayed as "bright blue",
+will now be a shade of gray.
+
+### Terminal Emulator ###
+
+Because irssi is an ANSI 8-color terminal program, it is entirely dependent on
+the terminal emulator for the display of its colors.  You cannot directly tell
+an irssi theme to display Solarized orange, e.g. by specifying an RGB value.
+Instead, the theme's colors must be chosen using the ANSI color codes with the
+expectation that the terminal emulator will display them as appropriate
+Solarized colors.  For example, the irssi color format `%R` which normally
+would be "bold red" is expected to be displayed by the terminal emulator as
+Solarized orange.
+
+So in order for irssi to display the Solarized palette, you have to set your
+Terminal emulator's color settings to the Solarized palette. The [Solarized
+repository] includes theme settings for some popular terminal emulators as
+well as Xdefaults; or you can download them from the official [Solarized
+homepage]. If you use the irssi themes *without* having changed your
+emulator's palette, you will get a strange selection of colors that may be
+hard to read.
+
+Yes, this means that, to use the Solarized theme for irssi, you need to change
+color settings for not one but two different programs: your terminal emulator
+and irssi.  The two sets of settings will work in concert to display Solarized
+colors appropriately.
+
+### Bold Settings ###
+
+Historically, there has been a one-to-one correspondence between the bolded
+versions of the 8 default ANSI colors and the bright versions of the 8 default
+colors.  Back in the day, when a color program demanded the display of bold
+text, it was probably just easier for terminal emulators to display a brighter
+version of whatever color the text was (and expect the user to interpret that
+as bold) than to display a typeface with a bold weight
+
+Nowadays, it is easy for terminal emulators to display bold typefaces, so it
+doesn't make sense for bolded text to change color, but the confusing
+association remains. In fact, new terminal emulators allow users to break the
+correspondence between bold and bright and can simply change the font.
+
+However, ANSI 8-color terminal applications such as irssi only have a
+conception of bold and don't know about the possibility of using up to 16
+colors.  So to use all 16 Solarized colors, we change the semantics of "bold"
+in the theme to mean that we want to access the 8 new Solarized colors,
+including the grays. Recall the example above, where we described that the
+irssi color format `%R`, which would have normally displayed bold red, is
+expected to show up as Solarized orange.
+
+This is why it is important to *not* break the association between bold and
+bright colors. Many terminal emulators offer an option to disable the use of
+bright colors for bold, and you must not do so.  Often, new users of Solarized
+will be confused when they change their terminal emulator's color palette to
+Solarized but haven't yet installed Solarized-specific color themes for all
+their terminal applications (e.g. mutt, ls's dircolors, irssi, and their
+colorized shell prompts).  They will see texts that are hard to read or
+disappear entirely.  The solution isn't to disable bright colors; the solution
+is to install Solarized color themes for all terminal applications and then you
+will have all 16 colors.
+
+Also, because the semantics of "bold" are lost in favor of more colors, it
+also makes sense to disable the display of bold text as a bold typeface.  It
+won't hurt to see bold typefaces wherever the new 8 Solarized colors are
+displayed but it doesn't make much sense anymore.
+
+Universal theme
+---------------
+
+The first irssi theme, called "universal", was designed to work best with both
+Solarized Dark and Light palettes, but also to work under default terminal
+colors. In other words, this theme was designed with a "fallback" scenario: if
+you happen to find yourself on a terminal where the Solarized palette has not
+been set up, you won't have elements become invisible or incrediby hard to
+read.
+
+Thus, this theme has been designed with these 4 palettes in mind:
+- Solarized Dark: "universal" works best with this scheme
+- Solarized Light: "universal" works almost as well as Solarized Dark (you
+  probably won't notice the difference, but if you do, it could be optimized
+  slightly by switching the theme's use of some of the Solarized base colors)
+- Default dark-background terminal colors
+- Default light-background terminal colors
+
+This theme was designed to be clean and functional, starting from the default
+theme distributed with irssi.  Colors are strictly used for functionality and
+the number of colors visible is minimized when possible. Colors were selected
+based on the characteristics of the text characters to be displayed:
+- Visibility generally follows importance, with an attempt to let unimportant
+  text fade into the background (which is not always possible when supporting
+  both dark and light backgrounds)
+- Loud colors are chosen to call attention to noteworthy messages
+
+### Supported Scripts ###
+
+The following third-party scripts are supported:
+- [adv\_windowlist.pl](http://anti.teamidiot.de/static/nei/*/Code/Irssi/)
+- [usercount.pl](http://scripts.irssi.org/html/usercount.pl.html)
+- [trackbar.pl](http://scripts.irssi.org/html/trackbar.pl.html)

+Downloads
+---------
+
+If you have come across these themes via the [irssi-only repository] on github,
+you may want to check the main [Solarized repository] to see if there is an
+official theme.
+
+At some point, the [irssi-only repository] may be kept in sync with the main
+[Solarized repository] and would then only be preserved separately for
+installation convenience only. At this time, issues, bug reports, changelogs
+are to be reported at the [irsii-only repository].

+
+Installation
+------------
+
+1.  Make sure that you have changed your terminal emulator's color settings to
+    the Solarized palette.  (See the section "Understanding Solarized Colors in
+    Terminals" for an explanation.)
+
+    1.  Make sure that bold text is displayed using bright colors. For example,
+        - For iTerm2 on OS X, this means that Text Preferences must have the "Draw
+          bold text in bright colors" checkbox *selected*.
+        - For Apple's Terminal.app on OS X, this means that Text Settings must
+          have the "Use bright colors for bold text" checkbox *selected*.
+
+    2.  It's recommended to turn off the display of bold typeface for bold text.  For
+        example,
+        - For iTerm on OS X, this means that Text Preferences should have the
+          "Draw bold text in bold font" checkbox *unselected*.
+        - For Apple's Terminal.app on OS X, this means that Text Settings
+          should have the "Use bold fonts" checkbox *unselected*.
+
+2.  Obtain solarized-universal.theme
+
+    a) Option A: Download `solarized-universal.theme` from [irssi-only repository]
+       and place it in your ~/.irssi directory
+
+    b) Option B: To always have the latest version, clone the git repository:
+
+        $ git clone git://github.com/huyz/irssi-colors-solarized.git
+        $ ln -s $PWD/irssi-colors-solarized/solarized-universal.theme ~/.irssi/.
+
+3.  Change your `~/.irssi/config` to include the following settings, while making
+    sure to replace `YOUR_NICKNAME` with your IRC nickname:
+
+        settings = {
+            ...
+            "fe-common/core" = {
+                ...
+                # Solarized
+                theme = "solarized-universal";
+                hilight_color = "= %R";
+            };
+            ...
+        };
+        hilights = (
+                { text = "YOUR_NICKNAME"; color = "%M"; nick = "yes"; word = "yes"; }
+        );
+        statusbar = {
+            ...
+            items = {
+                ...
+                # Solarized
+                lag = "{sb Lag: %m$0-%n}";
+                act = "{sb Act: $0-}";
+                more = "%k%3-- more --%n";
+            };
+            ...
+        };
+
+4.  Optionally, if you have the `adv_windowlist.pl` or `trackbar.pl` scripts
+    installed, modify your `~/.irssi/config` so that:
+
+    settings = {
+        ...
+        "perl/core/scripts" = {
+            ...
+            ### For Solarized adv_windowlist.pl script
+            awl_display_key_active = "%k%2[$Q=$N:$C]%n";
+            awl_display_nokey_active = "%k%2[$N:$C]%n";
+            awl_display_key = "[$Q:$H$C$S]";
+            awl_display_nokey = "[$N:$H$C$S]";
+    
+            ### For Solarized trackbar.pl script
+            trackbar_style = "%B";
+        };
+        ...
+    };

+# irssi theme for the Solarized color palette
+# (Adapted from default theme distributed with irssi 0.8.15 circa 2011-04-25)
+#
+# Adaptation by: Huy Z
+# Source: https://github.com/huyz/irssi-colors-solarized
+#
+
+# When testing changes, the easiest way to reload the theme is with /RELOAD.
+# This reloads the configuration file too, so if you did any changes remember
+# to /SAVE it first. Remember also that /SAVE overwrites the theme file with
+# old data so keep backups :)
+
+# TEMPLATES:
+
+# The real text formats that irssi uses are the ones you can find with
+# /FORMAT command. Back in the old days all the colors and texts were mixed
+# up in those formats, and it was really hard to change the colors since you
+# might have had to change them in tens of different places. So, then came
+# this templating system.
+
+# Now the /FORMATs don't have any colors in them, and they also have very
+# little other styling. Most of the stuff you need to change is in this
+# theme file. If you can't change something here, you can always go back
+# to change the /FORMATs directly, they're also saved in these .theme files.
+
+# So .. the templates. They're those {blahblah} parts you see all over the
+# /FORMATs and here. Their usage is simply {name parameter1 parameter2}.
+# When irssi sees this kind of text, it goes to find "name" from abstracts
+# block below and sets "parameter1" into $0 and "parameter2" into $1 (you
+# can have more parameters of course). Templates can have subtemplates.
+# Here's a small example:
+#   /FORMAT format hello {colorify {underline world}}
+#   abstracts = { colorify = "%G$0-%n"; underline = "%U$0-%U"; }
+# When irssi expands the templates in "format", the final string would be:
+#   hello %G%Uworld%U%n
+# ie. underlined bright green "world" text.
+# and why "$0-", why not "$0"? $0 would only mean the first parameter,
+# $0- means all the parameters. With {underline hello world} you'd really
+# want to underline both of the words, not just the hello (and world would
+# actually be removed entirely).
+
+# COLORS:
+
+# You can find definitions for the color format codes in docs/formats.txt.
+
+# There's one difference here though. %n format. Normally it means the
+# default color of the terminal (white mostly), but here it means the
+# "reset color back to the one it was in higher template". For example
+# if there was /FORMAT test %g{foo}bar, and foo = "%Y$0%n", irssi would
+# print yellow "foo" (as set with %Y) but "bar" would be green, which was
+# set at the beginning before the {foo} template. If there wasn't the %g
+# at start, the normal behaviour of %n would occur. If you _really_ want
+# to use the terminal's default color, use %N.
