Split light and dark color schemes

[losingkeys]

That way someone can just use xrdb xresources/solarized-light instead
of editing the file in order to switch between light and dark themes

Please, look at official specification (http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized#the-values), base colors should not be changed across light and dark variations. fg and bg links to this colors should be changed. It is not your mistake, it is mistake in this repo.

Take a look at my .Xresources:
https://github.com/seletskiy/dotfiles/blob/master/.Xresources.dark
https://github.com/seletskiy/dotfiles/blob/master/.Xresources.light

So this repo should be changed to more closely match your setup? I think
that would make it easier to use with xrdb.

@JoshuaRH: I'm just talking about that S_base03 and so on colors definitions should not be changed in different light modes. Looks closely at xresources file here. On line 20 we can see: #define S_base03 #002b36, but on line 32 it is defined as #define S_base03 #fdf6e3.

I came to the exact same conclusion after a problem with vim-colors-solarized which reversed light and dark background when light colors were set in .Xresources. The example file should be changed to reflect your method, @seletskiy, so that color0-15 are unchanged by changing terminal background.

Terribly sorry about this, everyone. Not only did I screw up the inverse color scheme (following some wording in the spec too literally) and @altercation trusted me too much to notice I'd misinterpreted it, but I've had the proper replacement and a script to generate both forms for months.

Will follow up on this as soon as I can. Thanks for your patience!

It seems the version in the repo is still broken when using light colors, right?

@seletskiy version seems to be consistent.

@TrevorBramble
Ping. Can you fix this, please?

[blueyed]

See altercation/solarized#68 for an attempt at using intermediate #defines.
