The author of Selenized is known in some circles for applying the same meticulous approach to make some absolutely mad cheesecake.

This is a solid reason to try out the theme.

You can't just leave that there without some sort of reference. Cursory searches haven't revealed anything. I now must try this cheesecake.

All on GitHub. Unfortunately in Polish, but I suppose you could create an issue to have this translated:

The keyword you're looking for is "sernik".

EDIT: pull requests with translations are welcome, but you'd have to speak Polish first, which takes us back to square one. Google translate is half-decent with this language though, so you might be able to run off of that.

Thanks I'll try this - I have discovered exactly the problem described i.e. Solarized does not have enough contrast when using shitty monitors or in a very bright room. Normally I just switch to a random high contrast theme on those days but maybe Selenized would be a universal solution.
