Minimap Slider Too Bright in Breakers Scheme

[igor333]

Hi,

It seems that the minimap slider is too bright and barely visible in the Breakers color scheme. Could this be changed?

Maybe it makes sense to tinker the default view for this.

You can see in the screenshot that the slider can be barely seen:

I use Sublime Text build 4126 on Linux.

I can’t reproduce this with the default themes. Does it happen in the latest build 4143? Does it happen in safe mode?

The latest version isn’t yet available on my particular Linux.

This is what the slider looks like with the same color scheme in safe mode:

Unless you’re using a 3rd party unofficial distribution the latest version of Sublime Text is always available immediately on all platforms.

Update: I’ve just looked up the version again, and now it’s 4143. Must have been updated in the background. But the slider looks the same.

Another update. I’ve noticed that the slider is barely visible on all default color schemes. I have made screeshots of all of them:

I guess slider == minimap viewport?

Color and visibility of minimap viewport control are defined by the theme. So it’s not surprising its visibility is not related to the color scheme being used.

Basically you can influence visibility in 2 ways:

1. enable the border by setting "draw_minimap_border": true in Preferences.sublime-settings.
2. customize the theme to increase viewport visibility.
   1. Run UI: Customize Theme while Default theme is active
   2. edit "viewport_always_visible_color" or "viewport_hide_show_color" variable to your needs.

Example

// Documentation at https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/themes.html
{
	"variables":
	{
		"viewport_always_visible_color": "hsla(0, 0%, 50%, 0.48)",
		"viewport_hide_show_color": "hsla(0, 0%, 50%, 0.25)",
	},
	"rules":
	[

}

Thanks, Death Axe, I’ve changed the third value in both lines to 70% and the slider looks just fine now.

We’ve got a fix for this in the works.
