Well, first of all, until now I haven’t the opportunity to thanks the devs behind Sublime Text 2, is such a awesome tool, and I really want to thank you guys for this awesome editor.
After some months of use of ST2, and visits over the forum, I’ve realized that many other people would like to change some little things about the editor, small details that can improve the usability and elegancy at day to day’s use.
Well, based in some of community ideas, I now come with a concept of editor for ST2, keeping the light and clean visual, but with some improvements.
In this preview the major upgrades are:
Tooltip concept (can be used for reference text, gradient, color pick or anything else);
Icons in the sidebar;
Chrome-like document tabs;
Preview Button (top right);

The main idea is made the editor GUI full editable (even more? ). Giving a option to change themes easly.
As concept, this is not some upgrade that will happen, but most like an idea, many features would be added and many things may change, and thats why I’m posting it here, so all the ST2 community can work together to make an even more awesome Sublime Text.
Sugestions? Ideas? Start typing!
obs.: If someone from staff become interested, I can provide full .PSD files and vector icons used in this concept, all I want is help make Sublime better!
obs2: This first idea is based on Mac OS X, maybe we can create some concepts based on Windows and Linux OS too.
