2016-05-10 current Sublime 3 beta
I’m looking for a good cross-platform editor that allows me to collect a set of files into a “project” and work within that set.
The very first thing that shocked me was that it didn’t allow me to do the very basic thing people usually need - change the sidebar color. Not even suggesting which text file to edit. I had to find the fix myself, which is documented below for poor souls searching for it.
Looks like one company makes the great text editor and another wraps it into the most miserable project-management GUI I’ve ever seen. The Find Results window lets me edit the text, so I thought “what a great thing - I can make my 3 changes right there instead of jumping from file to file”, but no - this editing doesn’t propagate back to the files. I’m not going to go off-topic and detail few other easy-to-fix annoying shortcomings. In short, suddenly Eclipse looks decent again. But if you just need to edit a couple of files the editor is nice and this thing may be for you.
Packages/“Theme - Default.sublime-package” is a zip-file.
Unzip and fix these locations in Default.sublime-theme file and put it all back.
{
“class”: “sidebar_label”,
“color”: [250, 250, 250] },
{
“class”: “sidebar_tree”,
“layer0.tint”: [0, 0, 0] },
