While 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.

It really depends on the lighting in your office. I use both, toggled by a hotkey depending on time of day or night.

Nice, almost fits my desktop perfectly! Here's what it looks like on #! (crunchbang).

Some suggestions:

* replace folder icons with simple triangle arrows * change structure of github repo so we can just clone it into packages

I always code on dark backgrounds. It's the white that kills my eyes after a number of hours...

Same 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.

I prefer a white on black terminal too. It's more comfortable switching between terminal and sublime text without color inversion.

Looks 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

I 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.

Don't forget about Nil: https://github.com/nilium/st2-nil-theme

Yeah, 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.
