You may want to add it it as a Package too via http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control/package_de...

You can Add Repository as 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"

Hooray, 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.
