Sorry for being a bit of topic but why is everybody so enthusiastic? I just installed the editor in Windows and it costs 70$! Is it that good? I remember installing it in Arch Linux for free without warnings... What is the deal? The website is not very clear on the exact license plus I found some alternatives that look the same on first glance (i.e. Lime Text).

70$ is not much money if you use it 8 hours a day. Also, you can use it without paying — it'll show a popup window now and again telling you to buy it; just a minor annoyance.

Slightly OT: Does anyone know what font they're using in their screenshots?

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 usin…

Notably this is compatible with ST3 only. No backport for Sublime Text 2 users.

Thanks. Kinda annoying this wasn't mentioned in parent, spent a couple minutes wondering why I couldn't find it in package manager.

A suggestion to all theme designers, if I may:

Line numbers are visual noise most of the time and can be distracting. Make them transparent, so I see them only when I'm looking for them. Same goes for indent guides, but make them slightly darker than background. Example: http://i.imgur.com/tQ46gWT.png (modified Spacegray)

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.

Try: "tabs_small": true for small tabs. I just turned it on and now it takes up about as much space as space grey did.

Is there an easy way to port this to IntelliJ?

I would love to have this theme in my IntelliJ too.

This looks a lot like the Railscasts theme, which has been around forever on Sublime, Textmate, and pretty much everything else.

Neat theme. I've been enjoying Space Gray for a few months now: http://kkga.github.io/spacegray/ Any other suggestions for somewhat minimal themes out there?

Nil is pretty cool https://github.com/nilium/st2-nil-theme

I switched to Nil w/ the Big Duo color scheme about a year ago and since then no other theme/scheme looks right. To me, it's the perfect use of contrast while still pleasing to the eye.
