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

#53

This is how Package Control updates the current custom theme. You should wait until it finished the updating (theme & color scheme settings will be restored after that). Also you can quickly change or preview each Boxy theme:

  1. Open Command Palette using menu item Tools → Command Palette...
  2. Choose Boxy Theme: Activation
  3. Hit Enter

All your settings will be safe, this command only changes theme & color scheme.

Boxy theme is great!
I found one little problem - when I set font size of a tab name to medium or larger the letters get cut from below (especially visible if filename contains underscores). Is there any setting I could use to avoid this situation?

no, it’s a known bug that the ST devs will need to fix, AFAIK there is no workaround

It appears to not restore boxy theme most of the time after upgrade.

The problem with manual re-activation is that I don’t want to use bundled color scheme so it’s a two step process. First activation and then changing color scheme from the main menu.

I can say for sure, fresh Sublime Text on Windows restores theme & color scheme right after updating. Except Boxy v3.3.0 which had some typo in env plugin, theme was reverted to the Default after updating. Fixed in 3.3.1.

All that I can say it depends on your UI font & OS font rendering. On Windows with default UI font, the maximum font size without cut off is 11 (sm), on Mac ~ 12-13 (md-lg). These options will be usable when the bug will be fixed. For now you can only play with UI fonts (via addon) or increase tab font size on Mac.

Not sure but I think that indent_guide is no longer aligned with theme accent… on the other hand I am not sure it ever was?

Starting 3.4.0 indent guide is monochrome, at the beginning it was yellow, than - green. Theme accent affects only UI theme. If you don’t like monochrome guides, do the manual customization via PackageResourceViewer as described here: https://github.com/oivva/boxy/wiki/Settings#advanced

Thank you! I am using green accent and that’s why I thought indent guide color was affected by it :slight_smile:

I like this theme very much!! Thank you for your work.
One question: do you think you can add an option to have a smaller Search panel? Even if I set the global theme to “xs”, the search/replace panel is too big for my taste… :slightly_smiling:

Thanks again.

Boxy Theme Addon - Widget Font <SIZE> addons were removed.
Now you can change console & find panel font size via Boxy Theme Addon - Widget Font Size.

Also starting from now you can install File Icons Extended package which adds syntax aliases & icons for such file types as Git, Gulpfile, Bower & etc. Icon requests are welcome :wink:

Awesome theme, amazing effort put to this. Thanks.

Do you have any release plan for new features? I’ve seen you have many commits on the dev branch and they seem like wonderful fixes and additions. Any news on where are we seeing them live?
