Am I the only coder who doesn't like working with light text on a dark background? I have 20/20 vision, and I find it really uncomfortable to use these.
My theory is that it depends on when/where you normally work. If you have a tendency to code at night or in dark rooms, dark on light is very bright. At least, that's why I go light on dark.
I don't know about the rest of you, but my eyes literally started to hurt when I read the text on that page, presumably because of the color of the text v. background. Doesn't bode well for using it in vim... Maybe it looks better on a different monitor? (I have a Samsung LCD.)
If on Windows XP. Display Properties > Appearance > Effects
Currently I use TwilightMod, which is as the name suggests, a modification of Twilight.
This is what it looks like: http://i.imgur.com/u802t.png

I don't mean to sound particularly thick here, but is there a way to apply these colours to my OSX Terminal too? I've installed the bundle for Terminal.app, and they look lovely in emacs, but can I use them in my general bash environment, too?

Yes, the directions are on GitHub: https://github.com/altercation/solarized/tree/master/osx-ter... Once you've activated that theme in Terminal.app's preferences, all your colors in the shell will use the colors defined in the colorscheme. So red will be the red in the colorscheme, blue -> blue, etc.

How did you get it for emacs? Perhaps I am the one being thick here ... :-/
Does this work in the console (vim)? I currently have desert256 working nicely in iTerm (xterm-256color). I'm away from my computer or I'd test it myself. Thanks! Never seen anyone put this much effort into a color scheme! I actually feel like I personally owe it to you to give this a shot.
Please share your favorite color scheme(s) ! My favorite for gvim/MacVim is molokai: http://winterdom.com/2008/08/molokaiforvim , seconded by vividchalk when i'm on the terminal: https://github.com/tpope/vim-vividchalk Haven't found any good color scheme for iterm2 yet. Currently i'm using thayer: http://ecto-plazm.deviantart.com/gallery/
I wrote my own scheme: https://github.com/strange/dotfiles/blob/master/.vim/colors/... Python: http://files.pipsq.com/strange/python.png Erlang: http://files.pipsq.com/strange/erlang.png
