Where did Twilight (and other) color schemes go?

[subn3t]

I just have 4 color schemes available now. Where did twilight go?

He went on a journey to the faraway lands of old and obsolete color schemes.

But he can still be reached here.

Thanks! Is there documentation on how to select those schemes? I got it installed, but no additional themes showed up in the list

How to customize the Color Scheme

The color scheme is still part of ST3 in the Color Scheme - Legacy.sublime-package which is hidden in the UI: Select Color Scheme quick panel by default. You can set "show_legacy_color_schemes": true in Preferences or install Theme Menu Switcher which does some more advanced filtering of color schemes and themes to support SublimeLinter and co.

Got it, thanks so much. I ended up googling .sublime-package and realized they were zip files. From there, I was able to make a copy, extract it, and view the contents. Figured out how to modify the config file to restore Twilight and others.

Also, good to know about “show_legacy_color_schemes”: true and what happened to the other themes in general.

You can see the Twilight color scheme here.

still no joy here, but I’m on Windows 10, maybe that’s why.

I got the Theme Menu Switcher installed, which teasingly shows the legacy color schemes, but I get a ‘cannot open Sunburst color scheme’ when I select it.

this is a real pain, been working on this for quite a while.

if the new colors weren’t so lame I wouldn’t have to worry about it.

any other ideas?

I tried this once, no luck, but the second time around it worked, hallelujah!
