Can't change color scheme on current project/workspace

#1

Hi…

I have looked everywhere and here I am. I can’t change the color of an existing project/workspace (thm:Soda / cs:kuroir). I can change the theme no problem. But when I change the color scheme nothing happens unless I create a new file the color scheme is applied but otherwise the existing files remain with the original color scheme “kuroir”. Am I missing something? DO I need to manually edit the workspace file? :question:

Thanks in advance.

Type view.settings().erase("color_scheme") in the console and see if that makes it work. Other idea is to close and reopen the view (ctrl+shift+t).

What packages do you have installed?

Don’t know how but while trying to do this “ctrl+shift+t” I disabled a macterminal plugin and al seemed to work. Then I reinstalled it and all is still working. Could be that/could not but it helped. Thanks!

I’ve had this exact problem since I’ve been using sublime (many years) now and it’s been very annoying. I don’t end up switching themes and/or colors much so I’ve never pursued it much but did so recently. I can’t find anything else in the forums that matches this description so am posting to this very old thread.

Do themes and color schemes really not apply to currently open files?

Edit: I’m running dev build 3125 but feel like I’ve experienced the problem on every version of sublime I’ve run.

Color schemes certainly work for project-specific settings and they also immediately apply to the currently open views, unless you have plugins interfering. Themes, however, are global and can not be specified on a per-project basis.

Please explain exactly what you are doing and what you expect to happen.
