Hi guys! Briefly: I would like a completely white theme. With the image you can understand better ;D

So, what’s stopping you from creating it?

**Azzo** · January 19, 2018, 1:41pm

oh idleberg you’re too confident with my abilities

This is a good starting point:

Themes are documented at http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/themes.html. The component your arrow points at is a tabset_control: http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/themes.html#elements-tabs.

I think I have to create a theme not a color scheme…

Find a colour scheme which gives you the editing area you’re after, then choose the Adaptive theme which recolours the rest of Sublime’s UI according to your colour scheme.

I believe from the screenshot he already is. With Adaptive we shade the background of the tabset (and side bar) a little to create contrast. It seems @Azzo wants to go straight white.

A user-customization of the Adaptive theme to get rid of the shading in the tabset, sidebar and overlay may be the easiest approach.

**Azzo** · January 19, 2018, 6:53pm

You are right @wbond! I have the adaptive theme and the sixteen scheme color. I want only to create uniformity…I’m trying to do what you suggested me. I’ll keep you informed…

@wbond do you know how to delete or hide the “open files” text?

**RiverLeaf** · January 22, 2018, 10:31pm

caution !! settings default:

// File indexing parses all files in the side bar, and builds an index of
// their symbols. This is required for Goto Definition to work.
"index_files": true,

**wbond** · January 23, 2018, 2:34am

No, this does not control the “Open Files” header, nor the list of open files, or the list of folder and files in the sidebar.

That setting controls indexing of symbols located in open folders and files. If you turn it off, functionality such as Goto Definition and Jump to Symbol in Project will stop working.

**wbond** · January 23, 2018, 2:35am

I’m not sure you’ll be able to get rid of it 100%. You’d probably have to resort to some sort of hack, like setting the header font size to 0.1, or using that with a font color with an opacity of 0, or something of the like.
