This theme reads it's colors from your ~/.Xresources
file, so that you can
easily keep your emacs theme in sync with your xterm and other X applications.
Here you can see xterm and emacs, both configured with the .Xresources version of solarized.
Configure your theme in your ~/.Xresources
like
*foreground: #000000
*background: #FFFFFF
*color0: #111111
! ...
*color15: #FFFFFF
You can also set colors specifically for emacs like
emacs*background: #123456
although this defies the whole purpose of this theme.
Remember, that an X application gets it's resources at startup. So to make
changes in your ~/.Xresources
apply to your emacs, you have to reload the
resource configuration with xrdb ~/.Xresources
and then restart your emacs.
