Customized Banner Message

#1

Is it possible to customize Sublime Text v2.x or v3.x so that it displays a customized message either upon startup or permanently on a banner or menu bar? I’ve read some of the documentation on themes but I’m not sure if it’s possible.

You can display messages in the status bar if that would suit your needs. window.status_message("custom_message") will display the string custom_message in the status bar but it disappears after about 5 seconds or so. view.set_status(key, value) will set the status to the string value, only for the current open file (or technically view) & disappears after you shift the focus to some other file or tab but it still remains for the original file unless you erase it (by using view.erase_status(key)) or close it. So maybe a custom ViewEventListener might help where you could implement the on_load method & set the status there & then implement the on_close method & remove the status there. In this way, the custom message will always be displayed in the status bar for all files.

Thank you for the suggestions. Is this functionality available in version 2.x and 3.x?

You can find the documentation for the methods I have described here. They are the docs for 3.x.
