Soda Theme - New Sublime Text 2 UI theme

#31

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

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:

  1. 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: 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 (github.com/buymeasoda/soda-them … -and-ideas) that came up during the process of building the theme.

Enjoy :smile:

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

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.

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

{ "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.

Thanks for the feedback :smile:

If people don’t mind, for those having any issues, can you post the basics of your operating environment? So I can understand if certain problems or differences are only occurring with certain OS setups. For example, one of the developers at my work has text rendering with a black background in the goto anything results text on Ubuntu, but in other setups it is fine.

If you can, please include: Operating System and OS Version. So far, the theme design and development process has been done on machines running Mac OS X Lion and Snow Leopard.

And screenshots are really welcomed if the issue is tricky to describe.

Wow, this is fantastic. The light theme is just what I’ve been looking for. The default theme looks fine on my Mac, but I would prefer a light theme. Also, I think the crappy old monitor I use with Windows at work is responsible for the fact that I can barely see the tab outlines or the scroll bar indicators at all there. I’m looking forward to trying this out on that machine. Thanks for this!

I agree with Guillermo that the contrast between the selected item and the other items in the quick panel is a touch too subtle. That said, the theme looks amazing and surprisingly makes Sublime Text look even better and more polished. Great work!

I’m using the windows portable version 2085 on Windows Vista.

The buttons in the find or replace bottom box have white text on light gray background, which makes it hard to read:

Control over the text colour for these buttons was added by Jon in a later build (Build 2084, Release Date: 20 July 2011) which is only currently available if you’re running the install from the dev channel. When the changes from those dev builds make their way into a stable release, or for people running the latest dev build, the text renders as black.

Dev install link is sublimetext.com/dev if you’re keen to get the latest Sublime Text 2 working version.
