Soda Theme - New Sublime Text 2 UI theme

[jbrooksuk]

btw, it'll be a bit of time before I can code up extra theming support - adding support for the new features in OS X Lion is taking priority for the moment.

Not even being able to set a solid background color instead of black? Perhaps use an already existent setting?

I just tried the latest version of the theme and it does not seem to obey show_tab_close_buttons setting, ie still displays close buttons on tabs no matter what my setting is. Could you fix that please?

When you say "still displays close buttons", do you mean:

1) They are always visible on the tab, at all times, regardless of the setting
2) They are not visible, then when you hover over the tab, they become visible

Number 2 is what I have implemented at this time for the theme, but if I'm following along correctly with the most recent changes Jon has made to the default theme, the behaviour looks to have changed in the most recent dev build to be:

3) Never show the close button on tabs, even when hovering, unless "show_tab_close_buttons" is true, in which case show it all the time.

Is 2 what you are experiencing?

And at this time, is 3 the current, preferred / canonical behaviour for the close button?

3 is the preferred behavior for the moment.

Implementing show-close-button-on-hover via the theme leads to artifacts, as it can cause the label to move around (as showing the close button on the tab makes the contents of the tab more congested, which will push the label out towards the edge). I'd like to add a way to do this where the label doesn't move around in the future, but until then it's better not to have the functionality IMO.

I've now added a dark theme called "Soda Dark" to the theme code.

It's available in the same git repo: https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme

There's a couple of things I'm hoping to address, such as the background colour in input fields (see earlier posts above). And I've noted a few more points on the "Theme challenges and ideas" wiki page (https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-them ... -and-ideas) that came up during the process of building the theme.

Enjoy

I love it! It looks so polished and nice. Makes ST2 look even more elegant! Thank you!!!

buymeasoda, could you make Soda Dark be just a little tiny bit darker? (particularly the panes look whitish, they're a bit washed out.) Maybe just match the tone and contrast of the status bar a bit... and perhaps the background behind the tabs, it could match the tone of the sidebar, what do you think?

Great job with these themes! I find the light version too bright, but the dark one looks beatiful!

One remark, though:

At least on Windows, when you're typing into Goto Anything, the highlighting of matching text in the paths is hardly visible.

There is any chance of releasing psd images on github as well? Thanks.

At least on Windows, when you're typing into Goto Anything, the highlighting of matching text in the paths is hardly visible.

you can tweak these in Soda Dark.sublime-theme in lines 381-398:

Code: Select all

    {
        "class": "quick_panel_label",
        "fg": [204, 204, 204, 255],
        "match_fg": [255, 255, 255, 255],
        "bg": [33, 33, 33, 255],
        "selected_fg": [204, 204, 204, 255],
        "selected_match_fg": [255, 255, 255, 255],
        "selected_bg": [30, 30, 30, 255]
    },
    {
        "class": "quick_panel_path_label",
        "fg": [102, 102, 102, 255],
        "match_fg": [130, 130, 130, 255],
        "bg": [33, 33, 33, 255],
        "selected_fg": [102, 102, 102, 255],
        "selected_match_fg": [130, 130, 130, 255],
        "selected_bg": [30, 30, 30, 255]
    },


i also wanted a slightly brighter match color.

thanks for putting together a dark theme! really easy on the eyes, very much appreciated.

The dark theme is amazing! Should be the new default theme imo.

My only complaint is the status bar. The gradient really doesn't look good there. Should be flat or a much subtler gradient.
