README.md

This project provides two aliases: darken and lighten

They will modify the start-up color themes of various applications (e.g. vim, zsh). I use them to switch between solarized-dark and solarized-light.

Maybe one day I'll make this fully generic so anyone can use it. For now, it may contain hard-coded references to other compoents in my home directory. You may still find it useful if you find those and change them to indicate your resources (maybe start by searching for '~').
