Theme not applying to sidebar and command fields

[JonathanRe]

Theme was installed using package control, all recommended settings were added aswell. The theme is only applied to the editor part of Sublime, the sidebar, any inputs like the command line, package control etc. still have the default look. Running Sublime Text 3 on an x86 Win7.

.... restart sublime text...

[JonathanRe]

I've restarted the program several times, restarted my machine aswell, doesn't change anything.

Paste your preferences

Got it now, I was missing this line:

"theme": "Material-Theme.sublime-theme",

Thanks!

omg. facepalm

[slashwhatever]

Err....I have that line and still have un-styled side bar and command windows: http://puu.sh/iDfJy/74ea3b4dcb.png

[equinusocio]

you have set both lines?

"theme": "Material-Theme.sublime-theme",
"color_scheme": "Packages/Material Theme/schemes/Material-Theme.tmTheme",

[slashwhatever]

Yup. You can see both in the screenshot I linked to

[equinusocio]

You used package control?

[slashwhatever]

Yes. Also just uninstalled, restarted and reinstalled again. No change.

I've also just done an uninstall via Package Control and a manual install. Same issue: http://puu.sh/iDhof/16d389d9fa.png

Check you package folder (Preferences > Browse package folder) and check if have Material Theme inside User folder and in Installed Packages folder.

[slashwhatever]

Currently Package folder is: http://puu.sh/iDkqV/7bac65883a.png And Installed Packages is: http://puu.sh/iDkqV/7bac65883a.png

So it's present in the Package folder and not in Installed Packages

Last attempt was manual install as per instructions.

[equinusocio]

Try this:

1. Close ST
2. Remove material by package control
3. Delete al Material Theme folder and files in your packages folder (even installed packages)
4. Restart ST
5. Install this theme by package control (not manual and not extract it) and apply the theme.
6. Restart ST

[slashwhatever]

OK, done all that. Same problem: http://puu.sh/iDkZR/01cbce5932.png

(I assume you meant 1 and 2 the other way around?)

AHA! Found it - there was a line right at the bottom that wasn't getting scrubbed when settings were changed and was resetting the theme choice!

Time for me to hit your donate button :) 86 Euro from 19k downloads is a depressingly low donation rate. Thanks for the assistance!

[equinusocio]

:+1: thanks man :)

[slashwhatever]

You're very welcome. The theme is great.

Just in case someone comes googling here..another silly thing to look for are duplicate theme entries in your settings file. For example, I had the theme set correctly at the top of my settings file, but further down, it was being set again to the default theme 😛.

@slashwhatever dude how did u solved it???? same issue .

[slashwhatever]

@gkumarOB my issue was the same as @irwinb

[equinusocio]

@gkumarOB Just remove these lines from your settings, and reactivate the theme from the command palette:

"theme": "...",
"color_scheme": "...",

[ShubhamGupta]

Probable issues:

1. You have multiple entries for "theme". Last one overrides others.
2. You have no entry for "theme".
3. "Theme" uses extension .sublime-theme. "color_scheme" uses .tmTheme. Be aware of this difference. Example value of theme: Material Solarized Dark.sublime-theme

Restarting sublime / machine / anything will not help at least on OSX. Not sure about Linux / Windows. Changes appear as soon as you save the config.

Hope this helps.
