# Solarized for Gedit

## Precision colors for machines and people - _Now with more Gedit!_

---

### Solarized

Solarized was created by [Ethan Schoonover][ES] and you can find out more
about the design work that went into it on his [project page][ES-solarized]. If
you would like to use Solarized in editors other than Gedit or on your terminal,
Ethan hosts the [main repository][SolarizedRepo] which combines all the available
ports in one place.

### Solarized for Gedit

Solarized was initially ported for Gedit by [Matthew Cantelon][MC] and can be
found at <http://github.com/mattcan/solarized-gedit>.

### Installation

_Please note that installation has only been tested on Ubuntu 12.10 and Gedit 3_

You can download the files in one of two ways:

* using `git clone git://github.com/mattcan/solarized-gedit.git`
* using the **Download** button to get the ZIP file and extracting the files to
  a folder

Once the files are on your PC, copy `solarized-light.xml` and `solarized-dark.xml`
to one of these folders:

* if you are the only user on your computer

```
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gedit/styles
cp solarized-* ~/.local/share/gedit/styles
```

* if you want everyone on your PC to be able to use the styles ( _path
  below is for Ubuntu_ )

```
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles
sudo cp solarized-* /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles
```

* you can also use the installer ( _has only been tested with Ubuntu 12.10_ )

```
cd wherever/you/extracted
chmod a+x installer
# -a for all users, -l for local
./installer [-a | -l]
```
