By the time we hit our 40's many of us will suffer one of these two extremes and have to wear glasses either for reading or for driving or, in my case, for both. In old age shortsightedness is caused by the lens loosing its elasticity and remaining squeezed, and longsightedness by it losing flexibility and the cillary muscle losing strength so that the lens cannot be squeezed as much. The lens in the eye focuses this expanding cone back into a contracting one that comes to a point on the retina corresponding to the position of the pixel "out there on the screen".įocusing is achieved by a muscle around the eye's flexible lens, the cillary muscle, which squeezes the lens into a more spherical shape to cause rays entering the eye to bend more, brings no objects closer to the eye into focus, or by the cillary muscle relaxing, allowing the lens to stretch back to a flatter shape, to bend rays less, bringing objects further away into focus. You can visualize the light from a point (say a pixel) that reaches the iris as a cone. When the iris is dilated (open) the eye allows as much light as possible into it. The iris in the eye expands or contracts to allow or restrict the amount of light entering the eye, attempting to maintain a constant luminosity on the retina so that either not too little, or not too much light falls on the cones and rods in the retina. Hi Dark Themers, in an earlier life I worked in optics, designing holographic cameras for bubble chamber physics, so I know a little about focussing systems and depth of field. I'm basically color stupid, and I can pretty much fumble my way through to something pretty decent.A while back, Eliot Miranda posted a detailed message for dark theme users on the squeak-dev mailing list. That said, there's lots of tools online that make creating your own palette relatively easy without having to be a graphic designer. They publish a 20 color palette which I can just hack into Excel, so I've saved a little bit of time by not having to mess with this stuff. I'm pretty fortunate that I work for a mega corporation that has a whole department somewhere dedicated to brand standards and the like. Here's another link that I use which kind of does it by giving you a dull set and a vibrant set from the same picture: It's easy to get carried away and throw a ton of colors at people, but the reality is - it's more important that you make effective use of a few than it is to have dozens of them. But, I know some people need the gradients pretty hard core. « Deploy large files over LAN with torrentįor good charts I need 2 or 3 dominant colors, 2 intensities each + a whole lotta gray.
Solarized color scheme code#
It is provided as ready-made color schemes for number of code editors, terminal apps, color palettes for graphical editors and build instructions for custom implementations. While Solarized as scheme is essentially set of colors (and provided as such in more color systems that I know) it was engineered to work well with code highlight. Accent colors can be used to put together common schemes (analogous, complementary and so on), but amazingly they don’t fall apart even in more wild combinations. The most impressive trick as that it includes both light and dark backgrounds which work with same text colors. Solarized includes sixteen colors, split into content (main text), background and accents. That is why I am always charmed even more by color combinations, that are not only pleasant, but functional in design and mathematical in nature.Ĭolorbrewer is my constant reference for graphs and now I have discovered Solarized - color scheme aimed at presentation of code and rich text. While I can appreciate it, the process of going from nothing to working ensemble of colors falls on overly artistic side for me. I am strongly visual person, yet choice of colors is something I am no good at.
