Caret color cannot be changed... #118

I made the caret wider by modifying commands.py and then the above was my attempt to change the caret color... Not sure if I am doing the right thing but all I wanted to achieve is to make the character underneath the caret to show a distinguishable color(like pure black). I am currently using the Darkside color scheme. Added a couple of settings in the Darkside.json file but I cannot see the effect! Thanks Randy~

First, you should not modify the json file directly. Use the settings in Terminus settings for customizing the theme. Second, if you edited a json file, you will need to select the Darkside theme again or rebuild the theme file to see the changes in it.

Oh, I see that you added several view settings too, for example the block caret....you should again add them via the Terminus Preference.

Lastly, IIRC, there are no settings for changing the foreground of the caret. https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/color_schemes.html

Can you show me steps to properly edit a json file (say darkside theme json file), let's say I want to add a caret and block_caret properties under darkside theme? Also... I don't understand what you mean by rebuilding a theme file.... How do you do it?

JW9506 commented 5 years ago

I used grep -R caret . to locate all the caret settings... I straight up editing the source rather than editing the preference inside sublime...

JW9506 commented 5 years ago

I guess my goal is to 'invert'(like black->white, white->black) the color of whichever character is under the caret at the moment.

@JW9506 there is a command to select theme in the command platelets.

@JW9506 you are likely to lose the changes if you modify the source directly and when package control upgrades a new version of Terminus

@JW9506 I don’t think it is possible with the current implementation of Sublime Text.

Eh okay~
