Hmm. The left navigation stuff doesn't seem to update.
Read the readme - you need to enable the theme (different than the colour scheme) in your settings file: `"theme": "Cobalt2.sublime-theme"`

#12I would love a darker variant of this theme. Everything is so bright... !

#13I would greatly appreciate it if this made it into an Emacs theme, though a really good Emacs theme tends to be quite a bit more involved than a ST2 theme, since there's so much more to theme.

#14Needed to restart before the Sidebar updated - but looks good!

#15I do not understand why people code on a dark background. I get the CRT retro aesthetic, but it is less readable on modern screens. Reflections on glossy displays become a problem. When was the last time you saw a website with a black background?
I can't tell if people coding on dark backgrounds are hipsters, or just don't know any better.

I can't explain why, but for me prose is easier to read on a light background and code is easier to read on a dark background. I imagine it has something to do with proportional fonts vs. monospace fonts and how the eye distinguishes the characters.
Edit: I think it may also have to do with the ability to distinguish colors used in syntax highlighting.

There is https://github.com/cryon/subatomic which is kind of a mix between cobalt and zenburn.

It might be a holdover from when I first learned to code, but I can't get into any sort of flow when trying to program on a light background.
