ST2 visual theme editor and more

[dmorrill]

Interesting. Does the Facets have a backend system like TraitsUI seems to?

Yes, although its been totally re-architected in Facets.

Were you using qt or wx?

Qt (that’s a big hint there )

ps. I PM’d ya to get my hands dirty

Yup, got it. Already e-mailed you a reply…

I spent a few hours at my local Starbucks and quickly had a first pass at a TextMate theme editor GUI up and running.

…!

I just thought I’d drop by to see if there might be any community interest in this work.

I just thought I’d mention we might be slightly interested if we’re not too busy.

YES YES YES YES YES YES

[NorthIsUp]

I am very interested in the facets library, please count me in as an alpha user

[Fed03]

can’t wait for the first public release…nid something to tweak the syntax highlighting

[s992]

Have there been any updates on this? Seems like a great tool.

If not, are there any similar applications?

[skube]

I would love this!

[Kensai]

As a representative of the non-coding users of ST2, I’d like to say that this would be very useful for us as well.

Thanks,
Kensai

Is this a THEME editor or a SCHEME editor?

[sublimator]

if you wanna get all technical … it’s a scheme editor yes …

Thanks. Would be cool! Currently I use Textmate’s preference dialog as a scheme editor.

@dmorrill: Is is possible to get a copy of Facets? I am a python developer and it would really interest me. I tried PMing but the messages are still in my outbox.

Hope he doesn’t slay me for linking it

[corelon]

Thanks a lot. I hope he doesn’t

By the way why do my PM stay in the Outbox? Am I doing something wrong?

[fbdegroot]

This looks very promising and i would love to give it a try (even though its still in alpha).

Great job!

[Grant]

I call shenanigans. Or vapor-ware.
When might we expect to see this visual theme editing plugin released into the wild?

I think you should be OK. I found it Via Google (David Morrill facets, second result).

[quote=“dmorrill”]Hello, I’m a total ST2 noob, having just “discovered” it last week. I took it for a test drive and ended up purchasing my license the next day.

I tried downloading a few TextMate themes, but didn’t find any that really suited me. After taking a look at the contents of some of the .tmTheme files (gack!), I thought it might be interesting to try and create a visual TextMate/ST2 theme editor. Since RAD building of GUI tools is basically what I do for a living, I spent a few hours at my local Starbucks and quickly had a first pass at a TextMate theme editor GUI up and running.

The next part was how to integrate it into ST2. I tried a few different approaches over the last few days with varying levels of success. And then last night I had a Eureka moment when suddenly everything just snapped into place. I’ve attached a screen shot in case anyone is interested.

[attachment=1]st2_theme_editor_2_50.jpg[/attachment]
The theme editor on the right is showing a popup color picker that appeared after I clicked on the Comments/Foreground cell. After I select a new color using the picker, the ST2 editor window on the left immediately updates to show the effect of the theme change on the file text. BTW, the color picker remains on screen until I mouse away from it, making it easy to rapidly try different colors or tints.

The thing that actually has me the most excited however is that the technique is very general. I’ve attached another screen shot showing a VIP Shell window I launched from ST2 (a VIP Shell is basically a Python console on steroids).

[attachment=0]st2_vip_shell_50.jpg[/attachment]
As you can see, the shell window is showing some live data about the current state of the ST2 editor. In this case, the only thing I had to add was a new Command:

import sublime_plugin

class VipShellCommand ( sublime_plugin.WindowCommand ):

    def run ( self ):

        from facets.extra.tools.vip_shell import VIPShell

        VIPShell().edit_facets()

and a key binding:

{ "keys": "ctrl+f12"], "command": "vip_shell", "args": {} }

Since I had never heard of ST2 before last week, this is still a very early WIP, but I just thought I’d drop by to see if there might be any community interest in this work. Also, sorry for the large images. I tried scaling them down to fit, but the text ended up being illegible, so I left them at 100%…[/quote]

Great, smart and really good so you can achieve your modified theme.

[prmaple]

This is just awesome. I’m looking forward to the day you release this!

check out my new color scheme editor

Color Scheme Editor for Sublime

I built a color scheme editor for sublime using Angular.js and some HTML5 File APIs. It only works in Google Chrome though, since the HTML5 file apis are not implemented in other browsers yet. You can drag and drop your color scheme on the page and start tweaking it to your hearts content. Try it out here: tmtheme-editor.herokuapp.com/ the code is also available on github: github.com/aziz/tmTheme-Editor http://a248.e.akamai.net/camo.github.com/41173d7778f610ef3cc0e73ecb5f684a9f438eaf/6874…

This thread died in 2012. For no good reason. We now have Color Sublime, only for ST3.

It is absolutely amazing. Scroll through hundreds of themes and schemes with Live! Sublime updates.

One might go overboard with CS. Unless say, one were a GUI developer interested in studying Sublime themes and schemes.
