I've become rather enamored with the Solarized color scheme produced by Ethan Schoonover ( @ethanschoonover) lately, more for the process and attention to detail he put in than even the output itself, although the output is certainly nice too. In order to help his efforts reach more people, I've ported Solarized to NetBeans.

Ethan has kindly linked my port to the main Solarized repo on Github, and you can also access just the NetBeans portion directly at https://github.com/fentie/netbeans-colors-solarized. The colors aren't as varied as the Vim or TextMate ports, but that's due to NetBeans' lack of specificity in their theme options more than the theme itself being incomplete.

Enjoy!
