Sublime 3059, Mac OS X

I installed the theme successfully via Package Control, but it does not show as an option for use in the Color Scheme window. Any idea how to fix?

Same issue here.

This method of activation isn't specified in the README. Is there a reason why editing your settings file won't work?

scottwater commented 10 years ago

Same issue here. If I use the suggested method for activating ( "theme": "Soda Light 3.sublime-theme") the all the editor windows just go back.

To activate the UI theme, you need to configure Sublime Text by editing your user settings config file.

See: https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme#activating-the-theme

The Color Scheme menu entry is only for changing the code editor syntax highlighting colour scheme. If you want the same colour schemes shown in the Soda Theme screen shots, you can grab them here: https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme#syntax-highlighting-colour-schemes. After adding those, they would appear in that list.

@scottwater If you're still having trouble, can you screen shot your settings file? Also check that the settings block (for all settings) is surrounded by { and }

@buymeasoda - I got it working by copying the package from "Installed Packages" to Packages/User. It looks like ST3 should have been OK with it in "Installed Packages" (I used package manager to install), but I am too new to ST to no for sure.

Here is a copy of my settings:

preferences_sublime-settings__kickoff

Thanks for following up and let me know if I can provide any other info.

Putting the line into my settings fixed it. Thank you to the few who suggested that.

I was unaware that Themes are actually different from Color Schemes and had to be activated in this way. I guess it didn't help that some of my color schemes are labeled as "Theme." Learn something new every day.
