Dark and light custom UI themes for Sublime Text
Dark and light custom UI themes for Sublime Text 2 and Sublime Text 3.
Project site: https://buymeasoda.github.io/soda-theme/
Soda theme is designed to work with the latest development builds of Sublime Text, including Sublime Text 2 and Sublime Text 3.
If you are using Will Bond's excellent Sublime Package Control, you can easily install Soda Theme via the
Package Control: Install Packagemenu item. The Soda Theme package is listed as
Theme - Sodain the packages list.
Alternatively, if you are a git user, you can install the theme and keep up to date by cloning the repo directly into your
Packagesdirectory in the Sublime Text application settings area.
You can locate your Sublime Text
Packagesdirectory by using the menu item
Preferences -> Browse Packages....
While inside the
Packagesdirectory, clone the theme repository using the command below:
git clone https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/ "Theme - Soda"
Theme - Soda
Packagesdirectory using the menu item
Preferences -> Browse Packages...
Packagesdirectory
To configure Sublime Text to use the theme, follow the instructions below for your specific version.
Sublime Text 2 -> Preferences -> Settings - User
"theme": "Soda Light.sublime-theme"or
"theme": "Soda Dark.sublime-theme"
Example Sublime Text 2 User Settings
{ "theme": "Soda Light.sublime-theme" }
Sublime Text -> Preferences -> Settings - User
"theme": "Soda Light 3.sublime-theme"or
"theme": "Soda Dark 3.sublime-theme"
Example Sublime Text 3 User Settings
{ "theme": "Soda Light 3.sublime-theme" }
Soda Theme ships with two alternate UI tab styles.
By default, a square tab style is used. If you'd prefer to use the original curved tab style, add the following custom setting to your
Settings - Userfile:
"soda_classic_tabs": true
Soda Theme has folder icons by default with Sublime Text 3.
If you'd like to use folder icons in the Sublime Text 2 sidebar instead of the regular arrows, add the following custom setting to your
Settings - Userfile:
"soda_folder_icons": true
Soda Theme has been designed to take advantage of retina resolution (high-dpi) displays. Both Soda Light and Soda Dark support retina displays.
Sublime Text provides an elegant way to tweak existing themes without having to duplicate or maintain a separate copy of the original theme. If there are aspects of Soda Theme that you would like to adjust, take a look at the theme customisation wiki page.
The Soda Light screenshot uses a modified version of Espresso Tutti Colori and the Soda Dark screenshot uses a modified version of Monokai.
If you'd like to use the syntax highlighting schemes shown in the screenshots:
tmthemefiles in the Sublime Text
Packages/Userfolder
Preferences -> Color Scheme -> User
The code font shown in the screenshot is Menlo.
Please note, Sublime Text dev builds move quickly and changes can occur with the theme API between releases, so there may be occasions where the theme doesn't quite work with a brand new dev release.
While developing the theme, I have documented some theme challenges and ideas encountered along the way.
