Different theme settings for different projects

#1

I often have two or three projects (or folders) open in different SublimeText windows. They’re hard to distinguish when I’m trying to quickly switch between them, and often have to try a few attempts until I get the right one:

This is because the “peek” functionality of Windows takes a screenshot of each window. Is there a way to assign different header colors (or any other distinguishable feature) to each project/folder, so they’re easier to identify? Something like this:

The theme setting is an application setting that applies to the application as a whole, so it’s not possible to modify it on a window by window basis.

However, the color_scheme property is a editor setting that can be set globally, per file type, per project and even per-file, so it’s a candidate for something like this. Presuming that you’re using projects (and it looks like you are, from the screenshot above) you can set a different color scheme per project.

That could be as simple as using three out of the box color schemes, or you could create your own color scheme as a duplicate of an existing one but alter the background color slightly or such.

That’s a bummer. Yeah, I know about color_scheme but that would mean changing color of my code. I was hoping of changing the header or sidebar, or icon… something that doesn’t affect the code. That’s why I was wondering about themes. But if it’s not possible, that’s fine, I’ll figure something else out.
