Mint's safety and security features include multi-layered protections for your financial data, making Mint a safe and trusted choice to track your money. PAC, Perl Auto Connector, is a Perl/GTK replacement for SecureCRT/PuTTY etc.,(Linux SSH/Telnet). It provides a GUI to configure connections, users, passwords, EXPECT regular expressions, macros etc. This is free software, licensed under GNUs GLPv3 version. Unique Linux application to implement SecureCRTs functionality.
Solarized is a sixteen color palette (eight monotones, eight accent colors)designed for use with terminal and gui applications. It has several uniqueproperties. I designed this colorscheme with both preciseCIELAB lightness relationshipsand a refined set of hues based on fixed color wheel relationships. It has beentested extensively in real world use on color calibrated displays (as well asuncalibrated/intentionally miscalibrated displays) and in a variety of lightingconditions.

Selective contrast
On a sunny summer day I love to read a book outside. Not right in the sun;thats too bright. Ill hunt for a shady spot under a tree. The shadedpaper contrasts with the crisp text nicely. If you were to actually measurethe contrast between the two, youd find it is much lower than black texton a white background (or white on black) on your display device of choice.Black text on white from a computer display is akin to reading a book indirect sunlight and tires the eye.
Solarized reduces brightness contrast but, unlike many low contrastcolorschemes, retains contrasting hues (based on colorwheel relations)for syntax highlighting readability.
Both sides of the force
I often switch between dark and light modes when editing text and code.Solarized retains the same selective contrast relationships and overallfeel when switching between the light and dark background modes. A lot ofthought, planning and testing has gone into making both modes feel likepart of a unified colorscheme.
16 5 palette modes Notefile 2 0 make quick notes .
Solarized works as a sixteen color palette for compatibility with commonterminal based applications / emulators. In addition, it has been carefullydesigned to scale down to a variety of five color palettes (four basemonotones plus one accent color) for use in design work such as web design.In every case it retains a strong personality but doesnt overwhelm.
Precision, symmetry
The monotones have symmetric CIELAB lightness differences, so switchingfrom dark to light mode retains the same perceived contrast in brightnessbetween each value. Each mode is equally readable. The accent colors arebased off specific colorwheel relations and subsequently translated toCIELAB to ensure perceptual uniformity in terms of lightness. The huesthemselves, as with the monotone *a*b values, have been adjusted withina small range to achieve the most pleasing combination of colors.
See also the Usage Development section below fordetails on the specific values to be used in different contexts.
This makes colorscheme inversion trivial. Here, for instance, is a sass(scss) snippet that inverts solarized based on the class of the html tag(e.g. html to give a dark background with red accent):

Installation instructions for each version of the colorscheme are included inthe subdirectory README files. Note that for Vim (and possibly for Mutt) youmay want to clone the specific repository (for instance if you are usingPathogen). See the links at the top of this file.

Solarized flips between light and dark modes. In each mode, four monotones formthe core values (with an optional fifth for emphasized content).
Thus in the case of a dark background colorscheme, the normal relationship forbackground and body text is base03:base0 (please note that body text is not base00 ). Note also that in cases where the background and foregroundcan be specified as a pair value, text can be highlighted using a combinationof base02:base1 . The L*a*b lightness difference between base03:base0 and base02:base1 is identical by design, resulting in identical readabilityagainst both normal and highlighted backgrounds. An example use case is foldedtext in Vim which uses base02 for the background and base1 for theforeground. Securecrt Linux Mint
The values in this example are simply inverted in the case of a lightbackground.
