Color Schemes in OS X

#1

Hey there,

This might not be possible yet, but is there a way to import or modify color schemes in the OS X version of Sublime Text 2? I’ve been hunting around and can’t seem to figure it out.

Thanks!

Hey,

You can access the packages, in which themes and plugins are stored, via Project -> Browse Packages. Themes are stored under “Theme - Default”.

I’m not sure that’s what I’m looking for. In OS X clicking on ‘Project’ doesn’t reveal a ‘Browse Packages’ submenu. That said, that’s not really where that would be located anyway. For those of you who might be hunting for the default theme folder on OS X you can find it by going to /Users/{yourusername}/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/Theme - Default.

I’m just looking for the color schemes for syntax coloring (i.e. the TextMate themes).

Oh, sorry! Yes it’s possible.

So long as it’s *.tmtheme (which it should be), they should be pretty solid and compatible with Sublime. Just place them in the Themes - Default folder :smile:

While you can place .tmTheme files in any folder, the usual locations would be “Color Schemes - Default” or User. What Sublime Text calls a Color Scheme, TextMate calls a Theme: Themes in Sublime Text parlance define how the application itself looks (buttons, scrollbars, etc).
