Title: [IC] GMK Solarized Dark - GB Live!
Post by: rainb1ood on Wed, 15 February 2017, 09:36:57
We are proud to share this keyset which is a result of a collaborative project that we have recently been working on.

This keyset is heavily inspired by Ethan Schoonover's Solarized which is popularly used as color schemes for terminals and IDEs, hence the name — Solarized Dark.

We are still finalizing the kits, but here's a few things you can expect from it:

ANSI / ISO
1800 / WKL / HHKB / FC660M / 75% / Ergodox
Scoops and barred homing keys
Accents

What do you think about this set? We'd also like to hear your thoughts!

Beautifully rendered by the thesiscamper.

I am a huge fan of blue-based coloring schemes but you are very close to GMK Nautilus

I wouldn't recommend running too close to each other ...

I really like the look of the set!! Could see a couple of boards where this would go very nicely.

Something feels just a bit off with the cyan accents though? For me, I'd like more chances to pop some color (more mods, f-row?) or less... bright colors on the arrow, space, esc and enter feels a bit too sparse and slightly out of place. More uniform like Terminal or more chances to cyan it up would feel a little more even to me. Could just be my own ocd, of course.  :confused:

Title: Re: [IC] GMK Solarized Dark *Updated*
Post by: Vigrith on Thu, 16 February 2017, 11:29:51
I like the colours - they aren't necessary by any means and I'd personally prefer full blue modifiers to match the accents but I figure that might be pretty hard to pull off with GMK's "full set" type of approach rather than kits.
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Solarized Dark *Updated*
Post by: priyadi on Thu, 16 February 2017, 12:21:43
I'd say stick to original intent of Solarized. Lose those cyan keys, replace them with solarized background highlights (base 02 - #073642). if impossible to produce them and be distinct enough than the normal background, then use base 01 #586e75 or even base 00 #657b83.

If we are going to have contrasted modifiers, then use background color from solarized light: base 3 background #fdf6e3. Don't forget to use solarized accent colors for text on modifiers.

As it is, while nice, you can't really call this "Solarized". Oh, if you want to call this "Solarized", don't forget to ask Ethan for permission. Maybe we can even donate him a set if a GB for this can be realized. IIRC he also bought a set of Penumbra a few years ago.

I think the accent keys really help bring the theme of the set together though, the only time I dont see those colors are if i cat a file in the terminal or something

Post by: finalarcadia on Thu, 16 February 2017, 21:38:05
I feel like while the original design is fine indeed, a similar aesthetic can be achieved with sets like sky dolch. For this set to truly be solarized, the different colored mods will really drive the point across. Also I'm in the camp of "code" instead of windows logo, and I'm a fan of the little contrast between mods/alphas, it's unique.
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Solarized Dark *Updated*
Post by: jebbra on Thu, 16 February 2017, 21:42:56
Sorry, my intention to keep the overall color lowkey is ignoring the "Dark Solarized" theme and straight to the better visualization compared the colored mod and not colored.

Thus, if we wanna stick to the Solarized Dark, better spread the colored text all the way. make the numrow colored, the F, the numpad, all have different color. The struggle will be balancing the neutral text and the colored.
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Solarized Dark *Updated*
Post by: priyadi on Fri, 17 February 2017, 01:12:09
Yeah, there are different design goals and aesthetics between color scheme for keyboards and color scheme for IDE/source code editors. OP wants to adapt the most popular version of the latter to the former. People are divided between those who wants general aesthetics of a keyboard, and those who want to follow the spirit of the original color scheme. Same thing happens to keysets following similar pattern, like Oblivion. But unlike Oblivion, we can't afford to have 2 dozens of child kits. So, I guess it is up to the OP which direction he wants to take. But if we are deviating from the original intent of Solarized, we should use another name, and let others who want to strictly follow Solarized guidelines use them.

IIRC the original Penumbra was also called 'Solarized'. We have come a long way since 4 years ago. Now we can use custom color with Pantone matching. So, I'm kinda hoping this can be the new Solarized set with better colors than Penumbra.

Post by: dbucklin on Fri, 17 February 2017, 01:30:11
I love the Solarized color scheme. If this set is going to be called Solarized, I would like to see more of those colors represented. As-is, this looks very monochromatic and, as mentioned earlier, close to Nautilus.

Post by: rainb1ood on Sat, 18 February 2017, 07:17:16
We would like to thank everyone for their feedback and thoughts!

Things me, gatix and thesiscamper have agreed on so far:
-Changing the of name of set
-Use text mods instead of icon mods
-Colored legends add on pack

We'll play around more regarding colored legends and also going to try grey(Base1) as legend color for mods instead of cyan.

Oh, if you want to call this "Solarized", don't forget to ask Ethan for permission. Maybe we can even donate him a set if a GB for this can be realized. IIRC he also bought a set of Penumbra a few years ago.

We did email him a month ago with attached renders  :thumb:

The oldest initial renders, and the slightly newer renders which flipped the shade of the mods/alphas (the current renders on the keyrenders interest check page) made the keys look like a very dark aqua color.  These newer renders show it as more of a gray and with seemingly a little less contrast between the two colors.  I still like it a lot, but I was totally in love with the initial renders and I think it lacks the same punch now.

New renders are an improvement. Contrast specifically, but text mods are a better fit too. I assume these are custom colors, so I'd be interested to see the hex or pantone code if they've been selected. Still wondering if it's going to look more gray or more dark teal in person. Regardless, I will be picking this up.

Another thing which is common to all these newer renders, is the changes to the Kira96 ;D it's approaching final form, as seen by the new realistically sized bezels.

Post by: soilheart on Sun, 12 March 2017, 11:11:46
Personally, I'm not a fan of the cyan legends on the mods, I don't feel like they add anything to this set with so many cyan on dark mod sets out there already. I don't see cyan as a "defining" color of the solarized color theme either.

Concerning the alphas I would actually prefer to sacrifice some contrast to make them more in line with the original color scheme, i.e. make the legends more gray.

I like the new colors. The kit layout appears to be missing the cyan numpad enter tho. And the regular ISO-Enter looks a bit wide

And while we're on the topic, the numpad 1u +/- should be mod colored, right?

+1 on alpha legends being darker like the original.

But totally good with the mod legend and accent color, since it seems more mint than cyan.

If you want a DC kit in any GMK set, you should get one in the Yuri drop. If the DC doesn't tip in Yuri, it isn't likely to be offered in any future sets.

In these renders, the HHKB has a 1.5u R2 Delete key, but in the base kit on page 1, it's a Backspace icon.
Has this been decided?

Can you add F/J/5 barred keys? I'm assuming the ones you have now are scooped.
I realize they're listed in the description, just not in the key layout.

The colored mods are only missing the ISO Enter, the stepped caps lock / ctrl, R1 1u delete and R4 Fn. I suggest you to replace the icon with a backspace legend in the 1.5 R2 key, it matches your legends theme better than the icon.

We'll talk about the other key requests, but right now the base is "locked" unless there are critical keys missing.

I suppose it's not critical for most but 6u spacebars?


+1, Space bars could be included in a space bar set?

Did anyone mention the menu or "fn"(3 line icon) key on the right of the spaccbar is an icon rather than word? Someone pointed out the backspace icon didn't fit in and I wanted to bring up that the "3 line" icon might have the same issue. Thoughts?

6u spacebar +1

I suppose adding that to the spacebar kit is the best option. Although I also think we have to discuss the colors for those keys, it's all cyan at the moment.

Yes, but most traditional GMK sets have that icon with the text legends, and it is "Menu" for most keyboards so using "Fn" is technically wrong. I'd keep it myself, but I have no attachment to that particular icon. The backspace icon on the other hand was really out of place.

Space bars in accent colors are nice; but, have them in base color is needed. I'd say base color space bars are required, accent color space bar are good to have, but not indispensable. Offering them in the mod colors would be also an option.

Very excited about the base kit and colored mods. However, I noticed that there is no colored "Menu" key. Any chance to have an option for that in the set?

I agree we need the base colors, I think we can add both 6u spacebars to the spacebar/add-on kit.

This is a really beautiful keycap set.
I've been a big fan of solarized for a long time so very happy to see this. Looks classy and very professional - maybe solarized for my work keyboard and Laser for home? ;) Count me in!

I do have a question:
Are those various brightly coloured keys labelled R02, V2, etc keys that will be offered with the set or are they just listing colour codes or something? I would like to see a brightly coloured key or two to add some pop.

There will be a modifiers set with colored legends offered, so everyone interested can get it along with the base set or stand alone.

Had to sign up and stop lurking just to chime in and say I want this in my life.  Passionately.  Looks great and am definitely in.  The ErgoDox Infinity coming in a few months was purchased keycapless just for the fun of trying to source caps like this.  Dear Baby Jesus, you've ignored my pleas for a unicorn that defecates gold, so now I'm gonna pray for this instead...

If there's a way to make something reasonably affordable to fit a planck, I would be all over this. 

A kit with a handful of colour coordinated blanks would be awesome.   I don't even care about legends on my mods, and since many people aren't even close to the "standard" planck layout, it's a good way to go.

Even better would be a standalone kit like Nantucket Selectric had.  I think the usual situation where the planck requires a TKL "base" set + a 1u mods set leads to a lot of us just not being able to justify it.

I know I usually get almost ready to buy, and then bail when I realize it works out to >$3 per key that I'll use.

Can't promise that since the set and price has been locked and we've already adding a couple of keys after the fact.

Just joined for base and ergodox :D  Super excited about this one.

Does anyone know if we can keep tabs on order quantities of the proxies (China and EU)?  I always worry about ergodox kits tipping, seeing overall numbers would be nice to see how things are going during the GB.

Edit: 1 more question.  When I placed my order, the site didn't send me to paypal to authorize the purchase.  Did I screw something up, or do I just need to authorize once the GB is complete?
