Very nice! Are you planning to do a light version?

@svenax, I do have plans for a light theme. I personally only really use dark themes, so it is a bit low in priority for me. I am going to be pretty busy looking for different employment coming up, so I may be pretty silent on most of my plugins for a bit. But as soon as I find the time, I definitely plan on doing light theme.

I switch between light and dark depending on the time of year. It helps me reduce eye strain :smile: Do you want me to get eye strain? :wink: jks.

How about an option that makes the theme change based on the scheme, like the default does? That way itā€™d lighten up if using a light scheme :smile:

Some people might like the contrast of a light theme and dark scheme. I will see. I am still not sure how different the light theme will be from the dark. I have to see what looks good and what doesnā€™t.

  • Enabled an experimental light version. Probably as light as I am going to do :smile:.
  • Now supports sidebar icons
  • Properly abstracts ST2 and ST3 variants when selecting themes via the menu.

Check the OP for new screenshots.

  • ST2 theme setting from the menu was broken, but it is now fixed
  • Tweaks to visuals (will probably have to update screenshots)

So yeah, ST2 works again. Completely forgot to test thatā€¦

Really cool Theme !
I love that you added a lot of different option all accessible through menu.

Thanks!

I thought it was a neat idea that I hadnā€™t seen anyone do yet, so I thought I would try it out.

  • A number of light theme fixes and improvements have been added.
  • Some general theme tweaks.
  • Also, open files now show a generic file icon that is colored with the selected ā€œdirtyā€ color when the file is not saved.
  • New menu option to hide tab close button except on tab hover

See OP for update screenshots.

The light theme is still a bit off for me ā€“ and I donā€™t use dark themes ā€“ but I have a name to suggest.

Faceless, in Greek, is ā€œAprosopoā€ (Ī±Ļ€ĻĻŒĻƒĻ‰Ļ€Īæ) ā€“ thatā€™s the gender neutral form of the word.

Whaddya think?

Any suggestions? Accent colors too pastel? Dark buttons in the light theme no good? I donā€™t use light themes, I am slowly trying to make it more acceptable, but some feedback might help me get on track. I honestly havenā€™t put a lot of effort in the light theme, and some of my choices are based on laziness. The color scheme of accent colors donā€™t all work on a light back ground, so I left the buttons dark. I am personally thinking about switching the accent colors back to match the dark. I may reduce the light theme color options since only some of the colors work on the light background. Also, I may eventually re-style the dark elements to a lighter variant. It just requires time for me, I was originally hoping I could keep general things common between the dark and light theme (like I said, I donā€™t use light themes, so it wasnā€™t important to me), but as time goes on, I am slowly forcing myself to re-tool the light theme and and make it more different. I think it has improved, but I think my general feeling is aligned with yours.

I like it :smile:.

I think the big thing is I still need lighten up the dark elements. I am also still not satisfied with the folder iconsā€¦

But again, feedback is welcome. I am only trying to do the light theme for others, not myself. I will see what I can do over the next couple of weeks.

Been stuck at home taking care of injured family member, so I finished up the Light theme (for real this time):

  • Stopped being lazy and finally updated and tweaked all light theme graphics and settings (generally much lighter feel)
  • Cleaned up folder icons
  • New Light Color Scheme (see screenshots)

Within the next week, I will rename the repo to Aprosopo (thanks quodlibet). This will cause the settings to all change. Sorry, but I did tell everyone the theme was in beta and subject to change.

Now is probably the time to give feed back on the light theme. I canā€™t promise how motivated I will be a week from now :wink:.

So here is the completed light theme compared to dark theme as well:

The more I stare at the light themeā€™s color palette the more I think it is tooā€¦spring. This may change. I am still experimenting with color schemes, but I think the overall UI look of the light theme is done.

I will look around for a decent light color scheme to use for the palette. Maybe I will just borrow the Tomorrow color palette (I did use the Tomorrow Eighties palette for the Dark). Light themes are so hard for me.

Theme has been renamed to Aprosopo. It must now be installed as Theme - Aprosopo. I know this may mess things up for people a bit, but once people change over, it wonā€™t be renamed again.

Light color scheme is now a variant of Tomorrow Theme. It looks much better.

I decided to keep the Light UI colors though. I like most of them, and I have decided I am okay with some of them looking girly (light purple and red); I donā€™t have to use those, and some people might like them.

So I am done. For real :smile:.

I was about to write and say that my light color scheme kicks your light color schemeā€™s buttā€¦ but not quite :smile:

In the screenshots I see some nice tweaks that I may plunder, such as changing the triple-quoted strings to resemble comments rather than strings.

Just so I know who to praise/blame, what is the extent of your modifications to the Tomorrow Morning theme? Are they limited to color tweaks, or have you modified the structure of the file?

(Which, in the time that it took me to write all this, I could have found out myself, but I didnā€™t know what my question was until I got to it :smile: )

In the meantime, Iā€™ve kind of answered my own question.

I ported both Tomorrow and Base16 to Scsscheme, which allows me to plug them in and out of my existing framework (keeping the colors, etc.). I found that Tomorrow seems to have more sophisticated highlighting and that youā€™ve both appendend new scopes and emended existing ones.

Going through selector by selector should not be too much troubleā€¦ But Iā€™ll shut up before I take this thread over the cliff entirely.

Basically, the themes have evolved. The dark scheme and light scheme share the same highlight palette as the original themes except for maybe background color s and tweaks to non highlight colors. I also have made cosmetic changes to things like python triple quote and other things, some things that only work with my personal language file edits (but they donā€™t adversely affect the default languages). I also added colors for some of my plugins etc. Though the highlight palette may be the same, not all the elements are guaranteed to highlight like the original Tomorrow schemes.

So in short, there are a number of differences, but none that change the overall feel of the schemes. Basically, I needed to include some kind of scheme with the themes, so I pulled from what I use. I havenā€™t used light themes in a while, so I did have to update the light theme to use the changes the dark version uses.

Thanks for the info!

Iā€™m making good progress going through your theme and comparing it with the most recent version on the Tomorrow repo.

I am trying an abstract color scheme framework for Sublime using Sass, with the goal of decoupling the core selectors from syntaxes and plugins. (Mostly because I get a kick out of doing so, but also because maintaing tmThemes becomes an enormous headache very quickly.)

And looking at other peopleā€™s thoughtfully colbbled together schemes is very enlightening. (And kinda sad :smile: )
