# Soda Theme
|
|
|
|
Dark and light custom UI themes for Sublime Text 2.
|
|
|
|
Project site: [http://buymeasoda.github.com/soda-theme/](http://buymeasoda.github.com/soda-theme/)
|
|
|
|
## Design
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Soda theme is designed to work with the latest [development build](http://www.sublimetext.com/dev) of Sublime Text 2.
|
|
|
|
### Using Sublime Package Control
|
|
|
|
If you are using Will Bond's excellent [Sublime Package Control](http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control), you can easily install Soda Theme via the `Package Control: Install Package` menu item. The Soda Theme package is listed as `Theme - Soda` in the packages list.
|
|
|
|
### Using Git
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, if you are a git user, you can install the theme and keep up to date by cloning the repo directly into your `Packages` directory in the Sublime Text 2 application settings area.
|
|
|
|
You can locate your Sublime Text 2 `Packages` directory by using the menu item `Preferences -> Browse Packages...`.
|
|
|
|
While inside the `Packages` directory, clone the theme repository using the command below:
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/ "Theme - Soda"
|
|
|
|
### Download Manually
|
|
|
|
* Download the files using the GitHub .zip download option
|
|
* Unzip the files and rename the folder to `Theme - Soda`
|
|
* Copy the folder to your Sublime Text 2 `Packages` directory
|
|
|
|
## Activating the theme
|
|
|
|
To configure Sublime Text 2 to use the theme:
|
|
|
|
* Open your User Settings Preferences file `Sublime Text 2 -> Preferences -> Settings - User`
|
|
* Add (or update) your theme entry to be `"theme": "Soda Light.sublime-theme"` or `"theme": "Soda Dark.sublime-theme"`
|
|
|
|
### Example User Settings
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"theme": "Soda Light.sublime-theme"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
## Additional Features
|
|
|
|
### Alternate Tab Styles
|
|
|
|
Soda Theme ships with two alternate UI tab styles.
|
|
|
|
By default, a square tab style is used. If you'd prefer to use the original curved tab style, add the following custom setting to your `Settings - User` file:
|
|
|
|
"soda_classic_tabs": true
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Retina Resolution UI
|
|
|
|
Soda Theme has been designed to take advantage of retina resolution (high-dpi) displays. Both Soda Light and Soda Dark support retina displays.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Theme Customisation
|
|
|
|
Sublime Text 2 provides an elegant way to tweak existing themes without having to duplicate or maintain a separate copy of the original theme. If there are aspects of Soda Theme that you would like to adjust, take a look at the [theme customisation](https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/wiki/Theme-customisation) wiki page.
|
|
|
|
## Bonus Options
|
|
|
|
### Syntax Highlighting Colour Schemes
|
|
|
|
The Soda Light screenshot uses a modified version of Espresso Tutti Colori and the Soda Dark screenshot uses a modified version of Monokai.
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to use the syntax highlighting schemes shown in the screenshots:
|
|
|
|
* Download [colour-schemes.zip](http://buymeasoda.github.com/soda-theme/extras/colour-schemes.zip)
|
|
* Unzip and place the extracted `tmtheme` files in the Sublime Text 2 `Packages/User` folder
|
|
* Enable the colour scheme via `Preferences -> Color Scheme -> User`
|
|
|
|
### Code Font
|
|
|
|
The code font shown in the screenshot is Menlo.
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
Please note, Sublime Text dev builds move quickly and changes can occur with the theme API between releases, so there may be occasions where the theme doesn't quite work with a brand new dev release.
|
|
|
|
While developing the theme, I have documented some [theme challenges and ideas](https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/wiki/Theme-challenges-and-ideas) encountered along the way.
