DA UI Is Now a Public Beta. Adaptive, Customizable, Elegant UI Theme and Color Schemes for Sublime Text 3

#5

liking this a lot - a tweaker’s dream!

spent a few minutes playing around with a custom color scheme i’m working on and it looks so much better with your theme - of course it needs further tweaking and exploring all the options…

thanks very muchly.

one question: how much are you thinking of charging?

I think it will be available for ~$10 (+/- $2). I hope such pricing will be able to cover the costs of development. Of course there will be some student and bulk discounts.

In any case the main aims are:

  • provide the UI that fits your needs,
  • leave the ST devs time to dev, not to answer UI-related stuff,
  • make Sublime Text just a little bit better, cause I :heart: it a lot.

So I have no plans to make evaluation mode too distracting.

I like DA UI. But i did not find a way to change the text colour of dirty tabs like this

        // Dirty tab label
    "class": "tab_label",
    "parents": [{"class": "tab_control", "attributes": ["dirty"]}],
    "fg": [201, 169, 249] // rgb(201, 169, 249)

How can I do this?

Currently, that’s not possible. I’ll add this in the next beta build :wink:

I really thought that Boxy would be my last theme, but apparently you managed to outdo yourself! Congrats.
I’ll be interested in proposing an updated version of the Espresso Libre color scheme if you’re interested.

I think it would be good to have support for Git Gutter and Sublime Linter much like Monokai Pro.

That is already planned. It will be available in the next release :wink:

I take it in the meantime we can just drop the DA CS schemes from GitHub into a Sublime folder? Could you clarify where they should go?

Currently, you can just download and extract sublime-da-cs-master.zip into Packages/DA CS.

When it will be available on Package Control, the steps are next:

  1. Command Palette › Package Control: Upgrade Package › DA CS
    (or re-install it if this command doesn’t work for some reason).
  2. Command Palette › DA UI: Re-apply Settings › Color Scheme
    (if you have some custom settings).

I’ll improve upgrade process in future releases.

ST 3146 fixes:

If you are on the dev channel you may notice that default color of the auto complete labels have changed (it became less visible on Windows at least). That’s because opacity is working now and the next default setting causes the problem:

  "auto_complete_label_foreground_color": [
    "opacity", "#808080", 0.45
  ],

Temporarily, you can update your user theme settings to fix that:

Command Palette › DA UI: Theme Settings

"auto_complete_label_foreground_color": "#808080",

or

"auto_complete_label_foreground_color": [
  "specify",
  ["rgba", 255, 255, 255, 0.45],
  ["rgba", 0, 0, 0, 0.45]
],

NOTE

If you have any other theme-related problems with the new dev build, please tell me. I’ll provide you temporary solution and fix that in the next release.

Ok, we have an other issue with ST 3147 on macOS:

I’ll investigate it, probably it can be fixed from the theme side.

Also, I have plans to add drop shadow for popups on Windows & Linux by default for consistency. What do you think?

I’d be very pleased to see that. The missing shadows with most popups using nearly view’s background colors really sucks.

An alternative was to create tooltips/completion popups with “totally” different maybe complementary background colors. I already played around with that by changing the --background and --foreground css color variables, which apply to most popups even those using mdpopups. The problem with this solution is just mdpopups’s code highlighting feature which expects --background to point to the view’s one.

Can we know the reason behind the name? :slight_smile:

Anyway, you already know it: it’s an amazing theme :heart: (feel like I’m going to love the elegant skin…)

In short:

DAily aDAptive DAndelion :slight_smile:

Da in English sounds like The.
Da in Ukrainian is used to make the sentence more expressive.
Da in Russian means Yes.
Da in German has dozen of meanings, I like everything I’ve found.

The meaning of the name may be strange in some languages, but l hope l haven’t offended anyone :wink:

P.S. Thank you for the kind words :sunny:

Due to new changes in ST rendering engine next settings do not work in 3148:

  // A color that will override the scope-based text color of
  // the selection.
  "selection_foreground_color": "",

  // The border color for "other" matches when the Highlight matches
  // option is selected in the Find panel. Also used to highlight
  // matches in Find in Files results.
  "find_hightlight_border_color": [
    "specify",
    ["rgba", 255, 255, 255, 0.25],
    ["rgba", 0, 0, 0, 0.25]
  ],

"find_highlight_border_color" will be fixed in future ST dev builds, the status of "selection_foreground_color" is currently unknown.
