In the last day or so, I allowed Sublime Text to update. The About dialog says I have build 4107. I don’t see a version anywhere obvious.
After the update, all of my icons and scroll bars turned into rectangles of orange lines.
I’ve never gone deep into understanding the Sublime Text configuration and only really do anything with it when I set up a new computer.
Any ideas how I fix this? I tried restarting the computer and shutting down and restarting ST.
That is Sublime Text 4; the version number is crossed out (and not visible anywhere in program) because it no longer has a version number, since licenses are now based on a period of time instead of a version number.
The stripey red texture is the “I expected to load an image, but it was not available” placeholder texture meant to draw your attention to themeing problems, particularly that there are theme rules present that specify image assets that do not exist.
The normal reason for that would be that your theme isn’t complete, but since you’re seeing this after an update, the more likely candidate is that you are using the Adaptive or Default theme that ships with Sublime, but that you have an override in place from a previous version of Sublime that is referencing images that are no longer there.
If that’s the case, use Preferences > Browse Packages and see if there’s a folder named Theme - Default; if there is, moving it away and restarting Sublime should fix the problem. If there’s not one there, then look in the User folder for a sublime-theme file names Adaptive.sublime-theme or Default.sublime-theme and move them away (and restart Sublime).
The restart may not be mandatory, but better safe than sorry at times. If either thing fixes the problem you will be back to the base versions of both themes; if you had any customizations to the theme you’ll have to re-implement them again based on the new theme. The UI: Customize Theme command in the command palette makes this a little easier than it used to be in ST3.
