Scheme vs Theme

#1

As a new user to ST2, I find I am constantly confused between schemes and themes. Does anyone else find this somewhat confusing?

I don’t find it confusing personally. Color schemes are for syntax, themes are for UI elements. What are you confused about?

I guess I’m slightly dyslexic and can’t distinguish between (sc)heme and (t)heme. I understand the concept between the two in principle. Perhaps it was just the nomenclature which I found confusing as a new user. I’m not saying it should change necessarily, just offering my observation.

I find it more confusing that many people USE the terms incorrectly.

Honestly, the real confusion is because colorschemes are saved with .tmtheme to remain compatible with texmate. The fact the colorscheme == .tmTheme and theme == .sublime-theme is a bit confusing. So I’d have to agree. I’ll check the docs to see if this is in there. If not I’ll add it when I get time.
