Open Terminal... cd /Users/dan/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages git clone https://github.com/daylerees/colour-schemes In Sublime -> Preferences -> Color Scheme

But this would require git, right? i use mercurial and don't have git installed.

Nobody's stopping you from installing Git alongside Mercurial; even if you're not going to use it on a day to day basis, things like sublime text themes and whatnots are easily installed with a git clone.

By changing the general theme, the background color of the build panel won't change automatically (screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/35N6Z.png ). You can change the build panel's background color (in Ubuntu) by editing the ~/.config/sublime-text/\Packages\Theme - Default\Widget.sublime-settings file and replacing the current line in the file with "color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/ .tmTheme"

Also, if you get a messed up window when changing UI themes (happens in W7), two F11's (fullsreen) make it ok again.

Install ST2 Package Manager ( http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control ) Cmd+Shift+P -> "Install..." -> [name of theme] -> [enter] -> done. (editted) Ugh, apparently these are not in the package manger. Call me lazy but I'm not going to clone these on all four of the machines I use ST2 on. (The "ugh" seems unappreciative, that was more due to my incorrect assumption; don't mean to sound ungrateful, a couple…

>I'm not going to clone these on all four of the machines I use ST2 on. I use a portable version of Sublime 2 synced via Dropbox. It works pretty well. One copy of settings/themes/snippets.

Was getting too many conflicts moving from home to work, trying to sync only Packages/User with Git now.

Install instructions would be helpful.

Sublime Text's themes are stored in /Users/.../Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/Color Scheme-Default (on the Mac). Just copy and paste.

It seems they can be anywhere though - I've just put some on Packages/User to sync to my git repo.

I was gonna make a similar comment. All the themes I see are geared to be anti comment because of the lack of distinction in colors. Right now I use the Tomorrow Night theme which seems to be okay but I would prefer to have a good light color scheme (the longest I ever used one was Espresso Soda theme).

Love love love the Tomorrow Night theme with comments. Though I would much rather have brighter comments.

That's an easy fix. Also, this plugin https://github.com/Monnoroch/ColorHighlighter will help you with the colors.

I think these are all quite nice, however... am I the only person out there who likes comments to show up in a nice bright color (my preference, usually a bright terminal green). The faded comment look that most of these share is really hard for me to read.

Me too, they just look like empty space to me. I cycle between three, really like Tomorrow-night-blue https://dl.dropbox.com/u/19746944/themes.png

Nice themes! It's pretty cool to see all these screenshots and the background color leaking into the tabs... I'm the designer of the Sublime Text UI theme and Jon was adamant about making the tab background using the color of the theme background color. It was really, really hard (lots of PNGs and lots of switching between PNGs depending on the luminosity of the background color, lots of pixel tweaking) and it's not…

So, do you have any updates on ST2 development? The quiet has been going for too long :)

Replace the second step with this then:
