Hello all
First post here and super excited to have bought Sublime Text. What a difference to the other editors I have tried.
Question:
How do I change the highlight colour in the solarized colour scheme please? When selecting code this faint light green is almost not visible and I like to change it to something else.
Thank you.

Hi,
I don’t know if it’s possible to edit the original theme directly, but a fairly simple alternative would be to create a copy of the original color scheme, modify this copy and then use the modified version.
You can download a copy of the original theme here and save it to {SUBLIME TEXT FOLDER}/Packages/User/Color Schemes/ (create this path if it doesn’t exist yet).
Then, open the file and edit the selection value (line 22) to be whatever you would like it to be.
Finally, choose this theme by going to Preferences > Color Scheme > User > Color Schemes and choosing Solarized (Dark) - Modified.
Obs 1: You may need to restart Sublime Text to see the changes.
Obs 2: {SUBLIME TEXT FOLDER} will vary according to your OS. See here.
Great help for a first post Debora! Thank you.
I am using the Windows 64 Portable version and had to do the following.
On here gist.github.com/deborasetton/8c … b2d4695bb0 hit raw.
Copy all and paste into text file and save as Solarized (Dark) - Modified.tmTheme, a tmTheme file.
Go to folder where Sublime Text 3 Build 3065 x64 PORTABLE is extracted and then there go to \Sublime Text Build 3065 x64\Data\Packages\User.
Copy the Solarized (Dark) - Modified.tmTheme into that folder.
Restart Sublime Text 3 and done.
I have edited the selection colour to #FDF6E3 as given here and am super happy with it.
