Trying to adjust the settings for this editor is killing me, and I’m not a dumb guy. The total lack of documentation really is not helping. I can’t even figure out the structure of the user preferences file because it doesn’t seem to match the structure of the default preferences file. Can anybody point me to an example of a user preferences file with more than one section?
I’m trying to increase the size of the font in the side bar by copying the relevant settings from the default settings file in Default.sublime-theme into my user preferences file in Preferences.sublime-settings, as I’ve seen many people advise. But nobody is posting example code, there is very little useful documentation, and this doesn’t work:
{
"color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Solarized (Light).tmTheme",
"font_size": 15.0,
"rulers": [100]
},
{
"class": "sidebar_label",
"parents": {"class": "tree_row", "attributes": "selected"]}],
"color": [255, 255, 255],
"font_size": 20
// , "shadow_color": [60, 60, 60], "shadow_offset": [0, 1]
}
]
The sample preferences file in the documentation is kind of useless because it only contains one section. I tried to turn that one section into multiple sections by turning it into a JSON array like in the default preferences file, but when I do that the entire user preferences file is ignored and the Solarized theme doesn’t get used.
This also doesn’t work: (no surprise)
{
"color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Solarized (Light).tmTheme",
"font_size": 15.0,
"rulers": [100]
}
{
"class": "sidebar_label",
"parents": {"class": "tree_row", "attributes": "selected"]}],
"color": [255, 255, 255],
"font_size": 20
// , "shadow_color": [60, 60, 60], "shadow_offset": [0, 1]
}

}
I’ve wasted a solid hour on this and I’m giving up now. This kind of massive time-wasting hassle is the main reason why I’m still undecided about switching from TextMate to Sublime Text 2.
