Updated to the latest version (through Package Control).
Love the new ‘modified’ tab indicator (the blue dot)! It was very hard to see before.
But my active/highlighted tabs look strange now. I am on Win7, Build 2203.
With the classic tabs:
…and with the original:
Any idea?
Thank you!
Quick update: I replaced ‘tab-*.png’ images with the old versions and tabs are back to normal.
Dying for the dark V2 version! I know you probably hate such a question, but do you have an ETA?
If anyone is interested, this is what I’ve done to my Soda V1 interface. I made custom tabs, a custom dirty indicator, the red dot, and a few other bits on a modified Twilight theme…

Wow – that is SEX-Y! How does one go about busting that out?
It’s pretty straight forward. You mod a few of the tabs parts in the Soda theme. Here they are. I included some PSDs too in case you want to make the red stripe another colour, orange or blue perhaps. You could modify more parts than this, customize the soda icons further, etc.

Here is the modified Twilight theme. I’ve called it “Phoenix”.

}That’s it. I would like to figure out how to mod the folder icons in the sidebar and add icons for different file types. If anyone has advice on how to do this, that would be great.
Also, the folder titles don’t bold like they should in the new version.
So I’m guessing the Soda Dark theme went 2.0 this morning, as when I opened up sublime my tabs went a little crazy; restarted and damn man, they look awesome on Soda Dark. Don’t know why everyone is craving the Chromium tabs as I love what you’ve done with the new ones.
Please add this:

And thx for cool theme)

Good call.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to colour the menu bar at the top of the page from white with black text to black (or another colour) with white text?
Hi folks,
I’ve released another milestone update for Soda Theme 2 and thought I’d share a few of the details here.
Soda Light UI - Cut and Polish
The first improvement - which you may or may not notice, depending on your eagle eyes 
- is that the entire Soda Light UI has been given an end-to-end cut and polish of the UI assets.
All the graphics have been sub-pixel adjusted by hand for rendering sharpness at default and retina resolutions with lots of subtle visual tweaks and clean up along the way. Some existing graphics were rebuilt from scratch. I’ve also retired the Pictos icons for the standard “Soda Theme - Find / Replace Panel” icons - but kept the essence of the original icons consistant for now. The newly created versions have received a bunch of adjustments for improved clarity.
Soda Light (and soon Soda Dark) now includes full retina support, so should look nice and crisp for thost lucky folks who have the new retina MacBook Pro. Going retina with the UI was a lot of fun.
Square tabs for Soda Dark
I’ve also added the new tabs design to Soda Dark. If you want to keep the original classic tabs, they are still available for Soda Dark by adding the “soda_classic_tabs” setting to your “Preferences - Settings User” file and setting it to true.
Dirty file indicator
I’ve taken a half-step back with the solution for the “dirty file” indicator to re-evaluate the approach. For now it’s returned to being a subtle indicator (albeit a nicer one than the original version from Soda Theme 1). I’ll definately be revisiting this soon, and ideally provide multiple default options, as it seems people really do fall into three very distict camps on this one (eg. Make it not stand out / Make it stand out more / Blind me with that sucker!). So if you’re hoping for a stronger or subtler version, fear not - it’s coming 
Retina issue with tab dragging and other theme challenges
There was an issue I noticed while doing the retina version with the current Sublime Text 2 (Build 2215) and that was related to dragging tabs out of the tab bar while in high-dpi rendering mode. It looks like the dragged tab flips to the 1x version when leaving the tab bar. Below is a screenshot of the issue at jumbo retina size. When dragging the tab horizontally within the bounds of the tab bar, the tabs remain the sharp 2x versions.
I’ve also update the Theme Challenges and Ideas wiki page on Github with a couple of additional challenges:
https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/wiki/Theme-challenges-and-ideas
As always, please post ideas, suggestions or issues on the GitHub issue tracker so I can easily keep track of everything. From here, the next few updates will be focussed on Soda Dark. I’ll be doing the same UI polish that was done for Soda Light and creating the retina version, as well as addressing the dirty file indicator.
Anyways, hope you’re all enjoying the theme
Ian
Hello!,
I just upgraded to the latest issue and I see red!
some idea of failure?
attached a screenshot here: http://cl.ly/1v010F3o383e0s2M1X2I
Thanks!
Yes I reset the program and nothing …
It is also curious, had a copy of the previous version of the topic, substituted and works perfectly, but again upgrade to the new and is still seeing red 
Not sure what might be the issue there exactly.
What build version of Sublime Text 2 are you running, and where abouts on the file system is the theme folder located?

Hi, finally I succeeded … the solution to erase everything and reinstall all packages include your theme.
Thanks for your patience
I found the issue where tabs are showing up weird (which might also explain some of the fire issues described here). You can read about it in this post. Essentially, make sure you don’t have a random Soda Dark.sublime-theme file sitting around in some place like Color Scheme - Default.
Another update for Soda Theme, this time it’s mostly all about Soda Dark.
The latest update brings the same refinements to the overall UI that had been introduced for Soda Light.
Retina support has been added for the dark theme.
The modified tabs implementation has been updated to allow for subtle and prominent dirty tab indicators. (See this github discussion for more details, and some tips on further customisation).
Soda Dark
I’ve also published a project wiki page on github to help people take advantage of the Sublime Text 2 User Theme feature. User Theme’s are a great feature for adjusting existing base themes like Soda Theme to suit your personal preferences or working style.
