Installing Konsole Solarized Theme

Problem:

You’re using the KDE4 Konsole and you want to install the Solarized color scheme plugin. However, you are way too lazy to figure out how to do that manually.

Solution:

Just copy-n-paste this into your favourite shell:

if [ -d ~/.kde4 ]; then
  wget -qO ~/.kde4/share/apps/konsole/Solarized\ Light.colorscheme "https://raw.github.com/phiggins/konsole-colors-solarized/master/Solarized%20Light.colorscheme"
  wget -qO ~/.kde4/share/apps/konsole/Solarized\ Dark.colorscheme "https://raw.github.com/phiggins/konsole-colors-solarized/master/Solarized%20Dark.colorscheme"
else
  wget -qO ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole/Solarized\ Light.colorscheme "https://raw.github.com/phiggins/konsole-colors-solarized/master/Solarized%20Light.colorscheme"
  wget -qO ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole/Solarized\ Dark.colorscheme "https://raw.github.com/phiggins/konsole-colors-solarized/master/Solarized%20Dark.colorscheme"
fi

After that, you only have to select the appropriate color profile (Settings —> Edit current profile —> Appearance).
