Boxy – It Was the Most Hackable Theme for Sublime Text 3

#11

Great theme. Thanks!
Just noticed one inconvenience. For some reason boxy increases and locks console panel font size so all underscores go under input line’s bottom edge i.e not visible when typing. Since the font size is locked there is no way to fix it by reducing global font size for the editor. Didn’t find any corresponding toggles in settings.

Please look at this comment, it explains how to change the font size of the console panel and the input text.

And, just in case look at this known issue.

I couldn’t install Boxy theme or unable to remove the package because it is not yet installed. But every time when I start the sublime text 3 I get the following error

[Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘c:\users\kpreddy\appdata\local\temp\tmpdw7gdg\Boxy Theme.sublime-package’

nice looking theme, but not to my tastes, so definitely not my next theme, sorry. the presumptuous title is somewhat annoying, to be honest.

I have been using boxy myself. I kind of sticked to Ocean Eighties color scheme and then used materialize and now using boxy theme. After making some tweaks finally I have settled for the setting I am happy with.

The ease with boxy is that it provides lot of options to customize it to your liking. You just have to dig a bit more settings and you don’t know until you give it a try. I would recommend it to everyone at least try it once and see for yourself. My sublime user setting is here just in case. https://gist.github.com/samundra/06a4f5b113718ef6501579ad76cd9aa0

Love monochrome variant for folders.
Any chance we can have the same option for file icons?.. or at least reduce saturation to make file icon colors less prominent as currenty they tend to compete with text area/syntax highlight scheme colors.
Anyways, thanks for a great theme!

Thanks! Yes, I have plans to implement monochrome icons in 2.1.0.

I’ll add some options in 2.0.3 :wink:

I’ve really started to warm up to this theme set. It is customizable enough to work for a wide range of users.

Unfortunately, I hate having to look up the settings everytime I want to make a change (but I like have the settings :slightly_smiling: ). I have to pull up the theme’s wiki to see all the options, and then enter them in one by one. It’s kind of a pain. So I threw this plugin together to make setting the options easier (it is assuming mdpopups is available on your system, though it could be modified to not use mdpopups). It’s a static list of the options, so it has to be updated manually if more settings are added to Boxy.

It’s pretty easy to use as you just click the link to go to the setting section you want, and then click the checkbox to toggle the item etc.

It is not available publicly on Package Control, though you can dig it out of my experimental plugin sandbox here: https://github.com/facelessuser/SublimeRandomCrap/blob/master/boxy_config.py.

Anyways, just wanted to share this with anyone interested.
