A simple dark theme and accompanying color scheme for Sublime Text 2
- axefrog 14y agoWow, that's really nice! The only other nice theme I've seen is the Soda theme (which I currently use), so kudos for providing a high quality alternative.
- benaiah 14y agoLooks great. I've been using the Phoenix theme, which I really like (after configuring it a bunch), but I'll definitely try this one out.
- christiangenco 14y agoOoo, pretty. Bookmarked for when I need a break from Soda.
- mjohn 14y agoVery nice, well done! Giving it a go today.
- OrsenPike 14y agoLooks nice, the flat look fits the Windows 8 flat look nicely as well.
- tuananh 14y agonice; i just don't really like the folder icon.
- karlfreeman_ 14y agoYou may want to add it it as a Package too via http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control/package_developers#Submitting_a_Package http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control/package_de...
- jbrooksuk 14y agoYou can Add Repository as https://github.com/thinkpixellab/flatland https://github.com/thinkpixellab/flatland and then Install Package, select Flatland and it'll work as if it's in the default repository list. Although, after doing it, you then need to pull the Theme - Flatland folder out of "flatland", delete the other folder and rename the newly pasted folder to "Theme - Flatland"
- raindog 14y agoThat's not my own work. I'm using it and I like the project very much, so the link to the community, just for sharing :)
- anotherbadlogin 14y agoHooray, it only took 20+ years for people to start realizing that inverse color schemes SUCK. Apple's vaunted UI doesn't even allow you to set up a color scheme, which every other GUI-based OS has allowed since the early '90s. So you're stuck reading black text off the glaring surface of a light bulb all day. Brilliant. The default inverse (black text on white background) color scheme is the product of a failed late-'80s/early-'90s attempt to make the screen an analogy for a piece of paper. It's a vestige of the "desktop publishing" craze. It fails for a simple reason: Paper doesn't EMIT light.
- ozh 14y agoWhile on that subject: who codes on dark themes? Seemed like a good idea to me at first but in the long run I find it much harder on the eyes than white background.
- jbrooksuk 14y agoIt depends on the lighting for me, and also the screen. On my MacBook with the glossy screen I prefer white themes until it's dark and there is less light, in which case I change to black. On matte screens I prefer dark all of the time.
- fractalsea 14y agoI always code on dark backgrounds. It's the white that kills my eyes after a number of hours...
- goostavos 14y agoSame here. I can only stare at a white background for so long before my eyes start to strain out. Plus, I find syntax highlighting to be far more effective on a dark background on a light one for some reason. I actually have a hard time reading code when it's primarily black text on a white background.

- yashodhan 14y agoI do, simply because I'm conscious of the fact using a computer screen is essentially like staring into a lightbulb. I like to think dark themes minimize the damage to my retinas, but whether this is true or not, I don't know.
- jbrooksuk 14y agoThe Select Project pop out window on Windows doesn't look very nice... But other than that, looks great!
- rane 14y agoLooks pretty nice. Is there a vim version / close alternative?
- gosub 14y agoDoes any text-editor have the option to use the negative version of a color theme?

- emackn 14y agoDon't forget about Nil: https://github.com/nilium/st2-nil-theme https://github.com/nilium/st2-nil-theme
- jscheel 14y agoNil is definitely my favorite ST2 theme. Just have to always remind people to set "highlight_modified_tabs": true in their prefs though.
- account_taken 14y agoty, never heard of that one
- anbotero 14y agoYeah, the current theme I’m using along with Tomorrow-Night color scheme. Definitely the best minimalistic theme there is for Sublime Text. Why it doesn’t appear in Package Control packages list, I cannot say. I think it was before.
- nicholassmith 14y agoNot sure I'm a big fan of the tabs but I do like the overall aesthetics of it. Very nice work.
- purephase 14y agoUser prefs: "show_tab_close_buttons": false In flatland.sublime-theme: Tab element: "content_margin": [18, 5, 20, 20] Tab button size (show_tab_close_button): "content_margin": [8, 8] Tab dirty state: "content_margin": [18, 5, 15, 20] Not perfect or I'd submit a pull request, but I like these tabs a lot more than the default.
- nachteilig 14y agoLooks nice. I'm using Soda now, but I'll give this a go. Side note: could someone remind me what that plugin is that makes the small 'code overview' view on the right side in the screen shots?
- nascro 14y agoOn OS X: View > Show Minimap
- hdra 14y agoThe nicest thing about Sublime Text 2 is that I never have to remember the location of various options anymore. Open-Command Panel-Type what I want does most things I'll ever have to deal with menus for me. :)
- nascro 14y agoI'm a long-time Textmate user trying out Sublime Text 2. The Command Palette (Shift + Command + P) is really useful. I didn't know about it until this post. Thank you!
- yashodhan 14y agoYup, this is my new theme. Thanks for your hard work.
- Down_n_Out 14y agoNice... I've installed it and also used your alternative icon.
- k2enemy 14y agoAnother color scheme that goes nicely with the theme is Boron: https://github.com/mjio/boron.tmtheme https://github.com/mjio/boron.tmtheme
- lewisflude 14y agoI love it!
- atishay811 14y agoGreat theme. I wish we could get sets of theme instead of a single one - one theme for Firefox, chrome, oh-my-zsh and Sublime Text. Can anyone list the complete set. I have been using Soda in sublime btw.
- viame 14y agoLooks very nice. I love how the folders and coloured, gives me a better idea which folder I am in. Also love the text colours. Thank you
- viame 14y agoI have been using it for a couple of day now. This theme is absolutely amazing. I love all Sublime themes but this one just shines through. Colours, especially within the sidebar (the new folder icon as well) are probably the greatest stand out feature. Thanks again for sharing.
- wesray 14y agoBadass, nicely done. I bet you're getting a ton of stars on github
- octatone2 14y agoThe search results will blind me :(
- account_taken 14y agoNice, almost fits my desktop perfectly! Here's what it looks like on #! (crunchbang). http://i.imgur.com/2zXWWD2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/2zXWWD2.jpg Some suggestions: * replace folder icons with simple triangle arrows * change structure of github repo so we can just clone it into packages
- wroman 14y agoFantastic! Thank you for creating this :)
