Sublime Forum

Inspired by this thread on Reddit. I do realize that the focus shouldn’t primarily be the looks of your editor, rather the functionality, but that doesn’t mean that one can’t customize it to make it as much visually pleasing as possible. I propose that every participant posts a screenshot of their Sublime Text 2 setup “in action” and possibly a few instructions on how to make your own editor look the same way.

Am I the only person that doesn’t use tabs?!

No screenshot as I use the stock theme with iPlastic colour scheme.

Ok, how did you get the custom split window sizes and layouts? This is THE main thing that annoys me with Sublime vs MacVim.

**sublimator** · January 13, 2016, 7:04am

It’s a mostly functional plugin prototype that requires some dodgy hacks to step around some performance issues of moving around views between layout groups.

There’s an API, window.set_view_index() which does this but it seems to cause a full redraw with each call, and trigger a bunch of on_activated/on_deactivated events so it doesn’t scale well. There’s a workaround but you can end up with a bunch of empty groups, littering the sidebar and the Group 1, Group 2 labels don’t correspond etc.

I plan to share it as soon as set_view_index is sorted out. I’ve been annoying Jon about it but he’s busy with other stuff.

**nizur** · January 13, 2016, 7:04am

Can’t wait until it is working without hacks or performance issues!

**senzo** · January 13, 2016, 7:05am

Just to throw in a light theme…

Check your messages if you haven’t already.

@prmaple:

This was a great example for me to customize my own sidebar, thanks. But do you find your row spacing jumps around a little bit?

If there are enough entries to show the vertical scrollbar, then if its scrolled to the top, I have wide row spacing like you show in your screen shot.

If I scroll down some then mouse over the text, the row spacing shrinks.

If I scroll to the top, it widens again.

I’ll try comparing the settings with the defaults, but was wondering if you saw this too.

**jps** · January 13, 2016, 7:05am

Todd: This will happen if the headings have a different size to the others rows - this isn’t supported.

**ToddFiske** · January 13, 2016, 7:05am

I see, thanks Jon. It’s a weird dynamic that in no way detracts from the beauty of your program.
