Pretty on the screenshots, but I had troubles getting it to work, too (on Windows).

Lots of scheme loading failures at first, then once I tried another recommended way to install it, I got plenty of visual quirks.

I'm sure there is a way, but if I can't get a text editor theme to work in a couple of minutes, I move on :)

Vim version please?

Unfortunately, I don't believe that an afterglow theme for vim exists yet, but if you want to try some different themes out, I'd recommend https://github.com/flazz/vim-colorschemes. My favorites are solarized, flatland, and codeschool. Solarized is likely the most advanced/complete vim colorscheme by looking at the solarized.vim.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

same, just noticed this and changed the icon. I really like it so far :) Note: if you do replace it, you probably will need to kill your dock, and clear the icon cache; here's a good command to do so: rm /var/folders/ / /*/com.apple.dock.iconcache;killall Dock

there's a couple of missing stars in that command between the slashes. That said, this didn't replace the icon for me. I needed to touch the app folder as well for the update to work touch /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app rm /var/folders/*/*/*/com.apple.dock.iconcache;killall Dock

Yeah, thanks on the stars - I forgot to actually enter them as commands and for some reason it removed the stars when the comment was parsed.

Any scientific reason behind using a dark theme?

I've heard dark themes can actually damage your eyesight because the contrast isn't high enough. I like white themes because it's just like paper. Black text is easy to see.

Well, there are high contrast dark and light themes.

Shameless plug: I created an ST3 plugin called SynCycle[1]. It switches themes at sunrise and sunset. e.g. a light theme during daytime and dark theme during nighttime. For who's interested: you can install it with Package Control. [1]: https://github.com/smhg/sublime-suncycle

That should have been SunCycle, not SynCycle...

Sublime people are creating promo pages for something like IDE themes? That's interesting.

It's not just sublime, you can find the same thing for old textmate themes and even some vim themes.

> old textmate themes

I really wish the people working on Textmate right now would do SOMETHING to indicate on the homepage that Textmate is now open source, free, and actively developed on Github. Instead, they leave the Textmate 1.0 homepage up and people think it's an archaic, dead editor :(

1st Google result ( years out of date ): http://macromates.com/

2nd Google result ( actually the current project ): https://github.com/textmate/textmate
