This is a skin for Midnight Commander using the Solarized palette. It is designed to be used with terminal emulators that use Solarized palette as their ANSI colors.
It is a fork from nkulikov/mc-solarized-skin however it was rewriten from scratch based on GoTaR MC skin. The file highliting was adjusted to be as close as possible to the Solarized dircolors.ansi-universal.
Some info on skin writing is available on MC wiki, yet it's usually takes a PHD to understand what's going on. And since I'm senile and lazy, I don't want to keep going to external references.
Also, it seems it's bloody scattered all over the place, and one has to collect tiny, and I do mean TINY, and sometimes outdated, pieces of information to form something complete. That's why I took the libery to comment EVERYTHING, just in case.
Note you might need mc > 4.7.5 for this scheme to work See MC install script on how to compile from source.
Clone the repostiry into $HOME/.mc/lib/mc-solarized, and define MC_SKIN in .bashrc, .zshrc or .whatnotrc:
mkdir -p $HOME/.mc/lib/
git clone https://github.com/pavlo/mc-solarized-skin.git $HOME/.mc/lib/mc-solarized-skin
echo "export MC_SKIN=$HOME/.mc/lib/mc-solarized-skin/solarized.ini" >> $HOME/.zshrcFor ubuntu use $HOME/.config/mc instead of $HOME/.mc. For example:
mkdir -p $HOME/.config/mc/lib/
git clone https://github.com/pavlo/mc-solarized-skin.git $HOME/.config/mc/lib/mc-solarized-skin
echo "export MC_SKIN=$HOME/.config/mc/lib/mc-solarized-skin/solarized.ini" >> $HOME/.profileThis skin use unicode characters, so make sure your locale is UTF-8 one
