I'm looking for a way to set a grid background style in sublime editor similar as gedit provides in preferences panel. The image below illustrates when the Display grid pattern is toggled on in gedit. It's possible to set this same feature in sublime?
This is not currently possible in Sublime, no.
The background of files is always a solid color, whose color is controlled by the color scheme set in the color_scheme setting. That gives you the power to set a global color scheme background color, one that's specific to projects, and even ones that are specific to certain files or types of files, but it's always a solid color.

Trying to understand how to make component sets and use variance to make designing more simplified. I have a tile that has an icon on the right that I want to be able to change both what type of icon it is as well as its colour. Is there a way to create the two-component properties using variance? Do all the icons need to be grouped by color and do I need to adjust their naming conventions (still not to sure how that works as well)h
There is a more efficient way to do this, by taking advantage of Color Styles. With this method, you only have to create your icons once, and no need for variants. Color Style swapping will handle that.
Create your icon components, but using a boring black color. Avoid creating variants of the icons, if it's only the fill color that's changing.
Instead create a standard set of Color Styles for your icons.
Your designers then, could place an instance of a black icon from your library. Then use the Selection Panel to replace the black color with one of your defined color styles.
Is there a way to make the comments a different (smaller) font from the rest of my code?
Although Sublime supports the idea that each view (editing pane) can have a unique list of settings, which includes font_face and font_size, it doesn't support multiple font faces or sizes from within a single view.
As such, it's not possible to have some elements use a different font face or size, although it's possible to change the font style to bold or italic, which is controlled by your color scheme.
I want the color scheme to span completely across the terminal boundaries. I am using Color Scheme Scroller Plugin to switch between different theme. I have uploaded a .gif file so that you can clearly see what I want to get fixed. Vim colorschemes doesn't completely change the color of editor. There are some terminal color's borders left around the vim's overridden color scheme. How would I fix it.
Please check the image on this link. Stackoverflow doesn't allow uploading an image > 2Mb
You can't do that from Vim itself.
Terminal emulators use that padding to preserve readability when characters are displayed next to the borders of the window. The programs you run in your terminal have no knowledge of that padding and thus no ability to change it.
But you can read the documentation of your terminal emulator or take a look at its source code to find a way to enable/adjust/disable that padding.
FWIW, there's no way to change that in Terminal but it can be done for iTerm.
Alternatively, you could simply set the background color of your terminal to the one used in your vim colorscheme.
The image appears to depict behavior outside vim's control:
it is using a terminal emulator (could be xterm, could be some other).
the terminal emulator draws character cells on a window
those cells form a grid; the window may extend beyond the grid
the window can have a background color
the grid can have a background color
within the grid, most terminals provide some capability of drawing text with specific foreground and background colors
the grid can have a default background color which is not any of the specified colors
outside the grid, the window can also have a default background color
normally, the grid- and window-default backgrounds are the same
the window can be resized to (more or less) arbitrary sizes
the grid is constrained to exact character sizes
because of this difference, the window can have areas outside the grid which use its default color, and not match the grid's background color.
escape sequences which could affect the grid- and window-background colors are doing erases (see for example the ncurses FAQ My terminal shows some uncolored spaces).
though it is conceivable that erasures within the grid could affect those outside areas, doing that generally leads to odd visual effects.
Most terminal color palettes have colorschemes that are customizable.
Many terminal users make use of some standard colorscheme such as solarized.
I'm building a terminal application that needs to use colors.
My question is, how do I know which color combinations from the terminal color palette go well together?
For instance, in the colorschemes that I use, the last color in the palette generally serves well as an alternative background color, but I couldn't afford the risk that some text is hardly visible for someone else because of his different colorscheme.
Are there any conventions on this?
I have a design in .psd format. It is using various layers and diffrent settings for opacity. I am using Photoshop CS3. How can I get background color of the layer. One way is to use in-build Color Palette utility but that doesn't suits me. I want a way by which I can get exact Brush that is used for the background. It may or may not have Gradients.
Not that this is programming related, but use the eye-dropper tool.

Once the color is placed into your "foreground color" box, click the box and it will show you the color in RGB, Hex, and pretty much any other way you can display a color value.
