Sublime Test 3 Mac Installation

#1

Hello,
I downloaded the latest stable release of ST3 yesterday to my iMac running Mojave. The installation via .dmg file is successful but when I start ST3 I get a black UI and cannot see anything in the console or the package installer (cmd-shift-p) The installation is essentially unusable.
Can someone please direct me to instructions for setting up ST3 on a mac?
Many thanks and best regards
Frank

"theme": "predawn.sublime-theme" there’s your issue :slight_smile:. Simply deleting that line will make Sublime Text use the default theme.
