Theme: Solarized Dark

@Alexey-T @kvichans @JairoMartinezA @OlehL @tmsg-gh @halfbrained and others :)

I just want to know if there are other good themes I have skipped.

I use a slightly customized _Zeus_ theme with Adobe's 11pt _Source Code Pro_ font on a 30" monitor with 110 dpi (see screenshot below).

I became aware that (at least for me) at daytime it is better to use a light theme and at night when we have to work with artificial light (which is never that bright as sunlight) it is better to use a dark theme.

But a dark theme should not be too dark. A very dark gray as background color and slightly dimmed light colors for the foreground is the best for my eyes. All this is true for _Zeus_ theme. Since I mainly use _CudaText_ for hobby projects, which I mostly work on in the evenings, _Zeus_ is the perfect theme for me.

I have one inspired on Intellij Idea darcula theme colors... I will post in a couple hours. I am moving away the house :) family business...

Not much here, my eyes just need book-yellow background and high-contrast text to be happy

I hate dark theme. I think this is a fashion as smoking in XX century
Only black/blue on light-gray bg!

@halfbrained Your theme is good, but not for me.
Main failing (imho) of dark theme is eye damage (as smoking harm to the lungs)

Thanks, guys. I was surprised that many like grey themes (I personally don't like it), but anyway. If someone have a theme you like to add, please do. But we also can close this issue down.
