hmmm… Not sure why it’s a button, but I can live with that. The 2 things that bug me are (1) the orange (I’d much rather see a faint blue) and (2) the font of the S. The ‘S’ looks whimsical, not something I want in a text editor. Still excited by the change. Usually I’m a big fan of Iconfactory, though.
I’ve been lurking here a long time, using the dev builds, etc. Just felt the need to post to say how awesome the new icon is. Good move getting Iconfactory to make it.
I like MrMartineau’s color hue changes much better vs the yellow, from the screenshots looks good in the Win 7 task bar but on my dock (OS X) looks sort of out of place (like it wasn’t meant for an app icon). Why I’m sticking with Nate Beaty’s lighter blue version of http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/download/file.php?id=200
With that said, another amazing update, after seeing the rename file update who cares about the icon
(now how about file type icons in the project tree next to the text)
I just turned tabs on for the first time in a few builds… When did the tab bar get better contrast between active and unactive tabs? Whenever it was, thanks
The new icon feels quite lacking in contrast, and blurry at the edges — especially the top. I’m not sure whether I’d call it an improvement over the old one, which while ugly, was at least nicely defined and sharp.
Continuing to use one of the custom-made icons, so take my feedback with a grain of salt (puu.sh/h4wH for reference).
Simply cannot believe how many whiners there are regarding the icon…
Seriously there are so many more awesome things he could be spending his time on…Why hassle him about the icon?

I agree. I like the icon and I am glad he hired professionals to create it. I also think, choosing orange was a conscious decision. At least on the mac it sets sublime apart from all the popular editors.
Still, being super-picky about the icon also shows how passionate people are about ST. And that’s a good thing
the vintage mode seems to be enabled by default, now.
I’ve installed Soda Theme, and I can’t enable it. I mean it has been disabled, and adding again “theme”: “Soda Dark.sublime-theme” in my .sublime-settings file does not have any effect.
I’m on Ubuntu 11.04 64bit. I’ve downloaded the relevant archive, extracted it and copied sublime_text into my Sublime Text dir…
Add me to the long list of those who don’t like the new icon. Almost all the other alternative icons I’ve seen look better, IMO.
Regarding renaming the file, we need a command in the menu somewhere, for this. Otherwise, we can only rename a file in ST if it belongs to a folder that’s part of the current project. That’s quite limiting.
I’m getting some really bad rendering issues with views created by plugins. For example, when using the Git plugin, and a run the Git Diff command it opens a new scratch view. If I do another diff command which gives different results but has the same view name (eg: diff just one file), then when I use ctrl+tab or ctrl+page up/down to move to it, the tab doesn’t highlight and sometimes the entire tab bar glitches out pretty badly, sometimes with random pixels, sometimes all other tabs disappear.
