I want to tweak a color scheme, but it's in Cache directory

#1

I try the vintageous, it’s good, but I don’t like the caret color in the Solarized(light), I want to tweak it. But it’s in the Cache directory as a .cache file. How can I change that?

I try the other color schemes, but my mind seems accustom to the Solarized scheme, I can’t read code in other schemes. :astonished:

And it’s good to have other builtin packages to read as examples.

Can I do that?

Just copy the file with a different name in your user directory (ctrl+shift+p “Browse package” should open a package directory with User sub-directory)) and it should appear in your color scheme selection option.

I am not talking about installing the color scheme, I am talking about changing it.

In sublimetext2 I can read the source code of any builtin package at the Package directory. But in sublimetext3, no source code provided, I don’t know how to change the caret color of the builtin color scheme Solarized(Light).

I am asking is there a way I can get the source code, so that I can change the caret color.

The file is still in ST3, it’s just packaged differently. If you want to override the file, I’d recommend using github.com/skuroda/PackageResourceViewer. It makes things much easier, and handles placement of the files for the purpose of overriding the built in packages (or any plugin package for that matter).

Copying the contents to a new file in the “Packages/User” directory is “safer” in the sense that there is no (minimal) chance it will be overridden. In addition, you can easily move it to other ST installs if necessary.

After looking into the code of resourceviewer, I realize that the package is inside the sublimetext.app where I didn’t look into.
