BracketHighlighter2 BETA Branch

[facelessuser]

@eduan don't forget to commit your icons to your branch. I can't test them if they aren't there. And thanks for your effort.

Is there a way to use package control to grab a branch other than master of BracketHighlighter?

Go to User/Package Control.sublime-settings and add the link to the repository. key at the bottom of the file:

        "SublimeWebColors",
        "Terminal",
        "Theme - Phoenix",
        "VBScript"
    ],
    "package_name_map":
    {
        "sublime-languages": "AAALanguages"
    },
    "repositories":
    [
        "https://github.com/facelessuser/BracketHighlighter/tree/BH2",
        "https://github.com/netatoo/phoenix-theme",
        "https://github.com/bizoo/SmartCursor",
        "https://github.com/facelessuser/sublime-languages",
        "https://github.com/facelessuser/FuzzyFileNav"
    ]

Then issue the Package Control: Upgrade Package command and pick BracketHighlighter

It just tells me there are no packages available for upgrade.

Try restarting ST2, it might not have updated its list of packages to upgrade yet. On restart, it might upgrade the package for you...then you would have to restart again because it is so different than the old version.

EDIT: Post your package control settings file if you are still having trouble so I can verify everything is in there correct. Oh, and if you never had BrackeHighlighter installed in the first place, just install it like normal.

I had never had it installed in the first place. Thanks for your help.

I like the default styling of this much better than the 1.X BH; it's much less in-your-face without sacrificing usefulness.

Thanks to @Eduan for create a billion tiny icons, we now have different icons when brackets are on the same line and not.

Might need to restart to see it.

Yay! You're welcome.

Expect some Retina display support soon (as soon as I figure it out). People out there with Retina display, be ready to test and take huge screenshots.

[facelessuser]

@Eduan before you waste too much time, you should make sure that ST2 actually uses retina gutter icons. I looked in the default theme, and there are no retina icons there. So I wonder if ST2 actually supports retina gutter icons.

[Eduan]

Well it does say in the changelog that it added Retina display support. And also the Soda theme has working Retina display support. So all we have to do is figure out how to make the package use Retina icons.

[facelessuser]

I think I remember some people saying gutter icons weren't supported. But if they are supported, all you have to do is double the size and but @2x at the end of the name.

So icon.png will have a retina version called icon@2x.png which is twice the width and twice the hight.

[Eduan]

OK, thanks for the info.

I did have the idea of making it double the size, but didn't know about the @2x at the end. I will start working on them now.

Even if they're not supported currently, they will eventually I imagine, so the earlier the better.
