And, at the very best, they are far more difficult to change.Īt this point, this post should only be used as a reference to the differences between "themes" and "color schemes" in Sublime Text 2, as I myself have yet to successfully change a theme nor color scheme in Sublime Text 3.
#SUBLIME TEXT 3 COLOR SCHEMES HOW TO#
I can no longer confirm the accuracy of this post, nor the functionality of the packages mentioned herein because the Sublime developers have not fully explained the changes to the customization system nor addressed how to fix them. Update: Sublime Text 3 has fundamentally changed the way Color Schemes and Themes work, and has broken many of the packages that were built to handle them.
#SUBLIME TEXT 3 COLOR SCHEMES INSTALL#
Defining these are a tremendous pain, so save yourself a lot of time and install the Theme Menu Switcher package.sublime-theme files change the look of the UI including the Sidebar and File Tabs. (where "Color-Scheme-Name" is the name of your color scheme). If you've chosen a color scheme via the dropdown menus in Sublime Text, you will see a line in there like this: "color_scheme": "Packages/Color-Scheme-Name.tmTheme" This is different than just activating a color scheme. (where "Theme-Name" is the name of your theme). When I install a Theme, I have to open my User preferences (under "preferences > Settings - User"), and then you have to add the line which says something like: "theme": "Theme-Name.sublime-theme" when technically, it's just a color scheme.Īnd an additional note: Themes don't automatically install for all users. The confusion happens because some people call Color Schemes "Themes" which makes folks think that their "Theme" is going to change everything. And then we have "Color Schemes" which only change the coding windows and nothing else. This typically includes the sidebar, and can also include options for the file tabs, and some even include icons for the sidebar as well. "Themes" actively change the entire UI, and can include a Color Scheme if you set it up that way. They are similar but affect different things. There are "Themes" and there are "Color Schemes". Sublime Text in particular (or at least that's the one I use, so I don't know how it works for other editors): I thought I would put a note here that explains a basic misconception for a lot of people who are using these Text Editors.
