Soda Theme

Dark and light custom UI themes for Sublime Text 2.

Design

Soda Light Theme

Soda Dark Theme

Installation

If you are a git user, the best way to install the theme and keep up to date is to clone the repo directly into your Packages directory in the Sublime Text 2 application settings area.

Using Git

Go to your Sublime Text 2 Packages directory and clone the theme repository using the command below:

git clone https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/ "Theme - Soda"

Download Manually

  • Download the files using the .zip download option
  • Unzip the files and rename the folder to Theme - Soda
  • Copy the folder to your Sublime Text 2 Packages directory
  • Open your Sublime Text 2 User Global Preferences file Sublime Text 2 -> Preferences -> User Global Settings
  • Add (or update) your theme entry to be "theme": "Soda Light.sublime-theme" or "theme": "Soda Dark.sublime-theme"

Example User Global Settings

{
    "theme": "Soda Light.sublime-theme"
}

Bonus Options

Code Highlighting Colour Schemes

The code highlighting colour scheme shown in the Soda Light screenshot is Espresso tutti colori.tmTheme, which was originally based on the Espresso Editor default colour scheme and ported to TextMate by Martin Kühl.

The code highlighting colour scheme shown in the Soda Dark screenshot is an ever so slightly tweaked version of Monokai that I created.

To use the colour scheme

  • Download the tmtheme file from Martin's repo to the Sublime Text 2 Packages/User folder.
  • Enable the colour scheme via Preferences -> Color Scheme -> User.

Code Font

The code font shown in the screenshot is Meslo, which is a modified version of Menlo.

Release Notes

Soda theme is designed to work with the latest development build of Sublime Text 2. ST2 dev builds move quickly and changes can occur with the theme API between releases, so there may be occassions where the theme doesn't quite work with a brand new dev release.

PLEASE NOTE: In a recent update, the Soda theme folder location was moved to "Packages".

The theme has now been updated to work when placed inside the Packages folder instead of inside Packages/User. If you have cloned the theme into the User folder, you will see a broken theme (with red backgrounds) on the next git pull. To correct this issue, move the "Theme - Soda" folder from inside User to inside Packages.

See GitHub: Theme location issue and Sublime Forum: Theme location discussion for more details.

Development

While developing the theme, I have documented some theme challenges and ideas encountered along the way.

Legals

The theme contains some icons from the excellent Pictos series by Drew Wilson which I have a license for. Any use of these icons, other than for the purpose of the theme itself, would need to comply with Drew's icon licensing agreement.
