If you use a dark color scheme, you should install a theme that has a similarly dark background for the sidebar. The "Soda Dark" theme goes well with the default color scheme. (The ui theme is separate from the syntax highlighting color scheme, you don't have to use the text colors seen on the github examples) https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/ https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/ In terms of plugins, apart from the ones mentioned here, Quick File Creator is indispensable: https://github.com/noklesta/SublimeQuickFileCreator https://github.com/noklesta/SublimeQuickFileCreator Not a plugin, but if you haven't realised it yet, know that the multiple cursors each come with their own separate clipboard. Learning how to combine this with the move and select by word and the parenthesis-movement commands is what will make the vim users eventually respect you. Oh and you can hack your language syntax definition files to make more things apart from function definitions turn up in the function browser. This is especially useful for ruby DSLs, sinatra etc.

I've created a theme + colour scheme called cobalt2 http://wesbos.com/cobalt2-theme-sublime-text-2/ http://wesbos.com/cobalt2-theme-sublime-text-2/

  This may seem like a funny question, but how do you find staring at blue all day long? It just seems like too much of a single colour too me.

    I love it! White burns my eyes out and black is too dark for me. Blue is for my eyes and I think it looks great.

    Back in the day, that's all we had. Microsoft editors were all white-on-blue and Borland editors were all yellow-on-blue. We didn't even have syntax highlighting. And some of us liked it that way. Get off my lawn!

      pfft, you had blue? ;) I was happy to finally, one day, have a CURSOR! Oh crap, it blinks! Wow, high tech type! Well, all this fun talk of SublimeText2, and my .2c .. I have been using ST2 for a long time now as an editor for MOAI, in which facility it really works well and .. well I've come to really love the editor, like love it, but am a vim user, 100%, and often get sad when I switch back and forth .. ;( ST2, for MOAI and the Lua language, actually is really a sublime IDE experience, and imho the word sublime can be applied to this experience: I am using the same editor on both editor'ish platforms (osx, linux), and then building an app with its own language/VM wordspace that runs on .. everything .. iOS/OSX/Linux/Win/NCl/etc. Right now in space-cadet mode, hacking on a laptop in some cafe, I sit in SublimeText2 .. hit alt-R, the MOAI app runs, its great, I commit to repo, the buildserver builds and runs the very same app on the nexus7, iphone5, pandora, osx, linux desktops, and various other sundry devices around the place. In this capacity, ST2 has mastered my needs for integrated development. I guess I should learn how to read HN with it, next ..

I'm a big fan of the Nil theme (https://github.com/nilium/st2-nil-theme https://github.com/nilium/st2-nil-theme). I really love the modified indicator on the tabs. Just be sure to follow the instructions when installing, because you have to turn on a sublime setting. Also, be sure to restart when switching themes, sometimes not everything works right unless you do. This goes for every theme though.
