I’ve been a fan of the Solarized colour scheme since the beginning.

It is a palette meant for people who stare at text all day and is configured for use in a variety of text editors and terminals.

I like it so much, I even played with using the Solarized Dark background as my desktop background colour.

Alas, even for me, it was a bit too simple. So I adapted my previous wallpaper, and colourized the default grey linen wallpaper from OSX Lion to match the Solarized Dark base colour.

The texture is subtle, and yet it isn’t 100% bland. It also doesn’t conflict with displaying the information I usually keep on my desktop provided by Nerdtool.

Once again, I am providing the wallpaper to anyone who wants it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
