Irssi ConnectBot

(Instructions provided by @hexa} To install Solarized colors on Irssi ConnectBot, replace org.connectbot with org.woltage.irssiconnectbot in the install file.

Uninstalling

To revert to the default color scheme, open ConnectBot and from the Colors page select Reset in the menu.

Recommendations

I recommend you install the latest ConnectBot from http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/downloads/list over any version from the marketplace as these are much newer. There is no need to uninstall the old version as it will be replaced and all settings will be retained. A separate tablet version is also available.
