Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/6617

State: closed
Merged: No


Solarized is not suitable for Terminal use, and as such, these themes are a bug factory.
If users want these, they can add them back themselves.

There's a number of discussions, both open and closed, about Solarized's insuitability as a default scheme. Here's my proposal: everyone who is using Solarized today will be using Campbell tomorrow. We will get an influx of issues complaining about the colors not working, but we will stop getting reports that "i can't see my text" and "you were mistaken for including these."
