Add solarized-light theme

Feature request

Please add a solarized-light theme to complement the existing solarized-dark theme.

The Solarized color scheme by Ethan Schoonover is designed as a dual-mode palette — light and dark variants share the same 8 accent colors but swap the base/background tones. Many terminal users prefer the light variant, and currently only solarized-dark is available.

Expected behavior

A solarized-light theme option appears in the /theme picker, using the standard Solarized light palette:

  • Background: #fdf6e3 (base3)
  • Foreground: #657b83 (base00)
  • Accents: yellow #b58900, orange #cb4b16, red #dc322f, magenta #d33682, violet #6c71c4, blue #268bd2, cyan #2aa198, green #859900

Motivation

Users with light terminal themes (e.g., solarized-light in iTerm2, Kitty, WezTerm) currently lack a matching Claude Code theme, which results in poor contrast or clashing colors.
