Great theme, I do enjoy it. A few suggestion:

- make the bad bar thinner: it takes up a good chunk of usable screen real estate for just showing file names (especially important on laptops)

- The scroll bars could be a bit "lighter". They blend into the dark a bit too well.

I used http://colorsublime.com/ - it took me about 1 second to install Afterglow.

Colorsublime installation instructions (using Package Control):

  1. CMD ^ P

  2. Type "install" and select "Package Control: Install Package"

  3. Type "Colorsublime" and select "Colorsublime"
Installing the theme:

  1. CMD ^ P

  2. Type "theme" and select "Colorsublime: Install Theme"

  3. Type "afterglow" and select "Afterglow"
Profit.

When using Colorsublime (steps 1 + 2 of the second set), you can also arrow up and down through the themes and get a live preview of each as you do so.

Note: Colorsublime only installs the color scheme. If you want to take full advantage of a theme like this (includes custom tab styles, custom sidebar styles, etc.), you'll need to follow the directions on their website.

After installing it, only the colors on the code editor change. How do I get the tabs and file list panel to look like in those screenshots? It looks like a standard OSX control in mine.

Did you restart Sublime?

It did require both what mathieuh said, and restarting. Thanks!

This can be customized, thankfully. I love this theme now! https://github.com/YabataDesign/afterglow-theme#tab-height-s...

Did you mean the tab bar? It's specifically mentioned that you can change this with a setting.

This is better than their instructions just marginally.

  1. CMD ^ P

  2. Type "install" and select "Package Control: Install Package"

  3. Type "Afterflow" and select "Theme - Afterglow"

  4. Press: Command + ,  (to go into settings).

  5. Paste the two lines from Github page, add any additional settings and restart sublime.
edit: Ah I just saw your update, previewing is a nice little feature for sure, especially when you're not sure how they handle colors for the languages you use most often. Sounds nice
