Although Sublime is a really powerful text editor but I am facing an issue. I have been using sublime text editor to view logs of my application.Suppose I have already opened file in my editor. After the logs are modified by the app server.
Sublime doesn't give any popup like we get in other editors
Example:
NOtepad++ says:
Also it doesn't modify the file. I have to close the file explicitly and then I re-open the file to ready the modified logs.
Only options i get in my sublime preferences are :
Please help..!
You are using an extremely outdated version of sublime (1.4). You can enable this functionality by upgrading and performing a small settings tweak:
Download the new SublimeText
Install it and open it
Go to the preferences menu and select "settings"
This will open the settings files for sublime, scroll down to line 349 on the left panel and copy that line.
Paste in the copied line into the right pane and replace "false" with "true"
Save and restart SublimeText
This should fix your issue entirely while also upgrading you to the awesome new SublimeText :)
Happy coding!
Set the following setting to true.
Menu > Preferences > Settings
// Always prompt before reloading a file, even if the file hasn't been
// modified. The default behavior is to automatically reload a file if it
// hasn't been edited. If a file has unsaved changes, a prompt will always
// be shown.
"always_prompt_for_file_reload": true
I have what I would consider the perfect theme colors for my Sublime Text Editor 3 application; however, the only thing that is very annoying and hard to see is the comment colors. They're the same color as the background but maybe just one shade lighter.
I've seen some other posts on here on editing theme color files within Sublime Text but for some reason it seems like the data isn't taking effect. It's like it's going off of cached data or something.
For example, I'm using the "Monokai" theme. I've edited /opt/sublime_text/Packages/Color Scheme - Default.sublime-package and searched for Monokai. I changed the hex color code under lineHighlight, and restart Sublime. Nothing changes. In fact, I've changed numerous hex color codes under that section and restarted Sublime Text and absolutely nothing has change.d
What am I doing wrong here? I'm running this on Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon
I was unable to change comments color by editing Monokai.tmTheme even after purging cache or sublime reinstall.
For Sublime 3.1.1 Build 3176 editing Monokai.sublime-color-scheme works.
1. Open Package Resource Viewer
2. Open Color Scheme
3. Open Monokai color scheme
4. Add you desired color in variables (pick here)
5. Change comment color
6. Enjoy your new comments color!
I've done exactly what you said, changed the value under lineHighlight in Monokai.tmTheme in Color Scheme - Default.sublime-package, restarted Sublime Text and it worked just fine. I'm running Build 3103 on Manjaro Linux.
Sublime Text stores its settings and cache ~/.config/sublime-text-3, I suggest temporarily renaming this folder, which should take you to a freshly installed state. Then make sure Sublime Text really restarts and that your color scheme changes are really in place.
I encountered the same problem. I found the following way solved my problem.
According to #Саша Черных, one can go to
tmtheme-editor.herokuapp.com/#!/editor/theme/Monokai to create and download a customized theme. Then, in Sublime Text 3, from [References -> Browse Packages...], you can find where your Packages folder locates. Just put the downloaded file "Monokai.tmTheme" in that folder, restart app, then it's done.
I have just installed Android Studio in my Window 7 64bit.
When I launch the application the background of the screen where we write the code is white.
I would prefer black or any other color.
I am not sure whether we can change the color/theme OR add more themes.
File->Settings->Editor->Colors & Fonts-> In scheme name select Darcula and apply to see a awesome dark background theme editor
Android Studio 3.1.2
File->Settings->Editor->Color Scheme-> In scheme name select Darcula and apply to see a awesome dark background theme editor
You can download new themes from https://github.com/sdvoynikov/color-themes -- note that the project is deprecated at this time, but the sources are still available.
Once you have downloaded the .jar file, go to File -> Import Settings... and choose the file downloaded.
//you need to go to the File-> settings
in that choose IDE settings-> Appearance in that choose the Theme: options
Windows
File->Settings->Editor->Colors & Fonts->
Mac OSX
Android Studio -> Preferences->Editor->Colors&Fonts
Dayle Reese has an amazing set of color schemes available for use in both AndroidStudio and Intellij. Depending on the IDE you are using, these ICLS files go into a particular directory (This is for Windows):
Android Studio
%USERPROFILE%/.AndroidStudio/config/colors
IntelliJ
%USERPROFILE%/.IntelliJIdea/config/colors
Once you've placed the ICLS files in one of the directories above, relaunch the IDE so that it picks up the new themes. There is also a nice page containing a preview of most/all the themes so you can figure out which ones you like most. Enjoy.
If one just need to change (strictly just) the editor's background to your own colour.
Preferences > Editor > Color & Fonts > General > Default Text > Background
Although you need to save it as your own theme.
Just a note for people in the future.
To add more themes on a Mac, put the theme .icls files in
~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio/colors/
Then restart Android Studio. And select your new themes in
Android Studio > Preferences > Editor > Colors&Fonts
Android Studio can use any theme that are made for jetbrains IDE. Here is a good Github repo that has many themes for different IDEs.
Also, the Color Ide plugin is a good tool that changes the background colour of all menus in Android Studio to match your theme. Try it, the IDE will look much better.
Windows should have similar setups, just the theme directory will be a bit different, search for JetBrains Ide theme location should give you the result.
Press Ctrl+` (Back Quote).
Then select "Switch Color Scheme" or press 1.
Select "Dracula" or press 2.
(Note: the exact paths shown here are primarily for Windows and Linux. I know Mac has a few non-standard paths, so if you're on Mac, you may have to adjust the starting bit of the path. The point is, get into settings however you'd do that on a Mac)
Switch theme:
File -> Settings-> Appearance & behavior -> Appearance.
Select the "theme" dropdown, and change between whatever themes you have installed. It shows the default themes and any you have installed in the form of plugins.
Install new themes
As plugin from plugins.jetbrains.com
File-> Settings -> plugins -> install JetBrains plugin/browse repositories/install plugin from disk
Note: newer versions of Android Studio, and possibly IntelliJ, (at least Jan. 2021 and out) may instead have a Marketplace tab in place of the first and/or second one.
The last part has three different options. The first has a few amount of plugins, and looks like only the official plugins. Browse repositories have much more plugins, and seems to be like going to the plugin page. This is a shorter way than going to the intelliJ plugin page and downloading the plugins manually. If you download, click install plugin from disk. This allows you to drag and drop, or find .jar files.
In the install JetBrains plugins, browse repositories, and (newer versions) Marketplace tabs should have a search functionality. You can search for i.e. "theme" from there.
Download a color theme you like - some sites host these, and some GitHub repos may offer them as well. [Editor's note: the website previously linked here has been replaced with spam]
Import the theme. File -> Import Settings. Navigate to the theme-name.jar. Click the "Ok" button. This will tell you restart your application, at least it did for me, and it automatically selected the theme for my editor.
Change the editor's theme color by going to File -> Settings -> Editor -> Colors & Fonts. Select the scheme and click the "Ok" button.
Note that this changes the editor's theme color, not the entire application's theme.
File->Settings->Appearance
There's a dropdown box with various themes.
Mac OS
To install new Theme on Mac go to Preferences -> Plugins -> Browse Repositories -> Select Category "UI" and search theme name, I recommend "Material Theme UI" click on the green button "Install" and then restart after installation.
If your theme is .icls format.
Right click on finder and select "go to folder"
type "~/Library/" to go to hidden library folder
find "Preferences"
find "AndroidStudio2.x"
if you don't have "colors" folder then create one
paste .icls theme files into colors.
new theme will be installed.
to change themes go to Preferences -> Editor -> Colors & Fonts and then select the scheme.
In 2.3.2 i can change the theme by following
View -> Quick Switch Theme -> 6.Look and Feel
Go to File > Settings,
now under IDE settings click on appearance and select the theme of your choice from the dropdown.
you can also install themes, they are the jar files
by
File > Import Settings, select the file or your choice and select ok
a pop up to restart the studio will open up click yes and studio will restart and your theme will be applied.
For additional themes I visited https://plugins.jetbrains.com/search?headline=164-theme&tags=Theme I was able to download one of them. I closed all my tabs opened and simply dragged and dropped the jar file. That was the way Android Studio prompted to restart. I tried importing the jar file as mentioned previously but it simply didn't work.
Thought I would add this as an answer, for anyone who accidentally mess up like I did!
It't not really an answer to the original question, but a few other posts refer to this post, so thought I would add it here (cause its slightly relevant to the question). Hope it helps someone!
Today I accidentally set my IDE font size on Android Studio very high (was going to set it to 10, but it accidentally became 110).
Now, the big issue for me was that opening the file menu was not possible (well, could open it, but could not get to the settings choice), so I had to figure out how to do it manually.
I found the Android Studio IDE settings in the Users/%username%/.AndroidStudioPreview/config folder and in there, the ui.inf.xml file, in which I could change the option FONT_SIZE back to a more manageable size.
Following image is android studio with 110 px font size on a 1920x1080 screen:
File->Settings->Appearance & Behavior-> Appearance and In theme select Darcula and apply dark background theme editor.
On OSX, in the menu bar at the top, click on Android Studio > Preferences > Appearance and you will see a theme drop down.
You can try this Making Android Studio pretty to change the android studio look and feel different.
To install Custom theme in android studio --version 4.1.2
download theme file(.jar) from https://plugins.jetbrains.com/
open android studio
drag the .jar file into studio
On Windows:
File-> Settings-> Appearance&Behavior-> Appearance:
Change "Theme field".
Simple. Just hit CTRL + alt + s - appearance & behavior - appearance - Theme - (Darcula)
You can use CTRL + SHIFT + A and then simply type theme to go directly to the theme settings. Same goes for pretty much any setting, refactoring or action you're looking for.
In Android Studio 3.4.2:
As mentioned in previous answers, you can change theme to Darcula in Appearance & Behavour > Appearance to have default dark theme.
Since macOS Mojave you can use dark mode in system. My issue was the system window bar was still light only for Android Studio:
Note there's an option to change this next to the theme selector: Use dark window headers
You can change or import a theme by using the icon that the "Duplicate Theme" arrow is pointing to in the photo.
Every one sees color differently. Most times a small change in contrast is all you need. Removing the hase from Dracula by changing the Background color to 242527 was perfect for me.
File - Settings - Appearance & Behavior - Appearance - CHOOSE Darcula in "Theme" - Press Apply.
or
Choose File - Settings - Editor - Colors & Fonts - Then SELECT Darcula in scheme name - Press Apply - restart Studio (sometimes not all elements implement theme)

I downloaded and modified a style file and placed it in the Notepad++ themes folder. I was able to select it and have it update the style as expected. I then went to Settings -> Style Configurator and changed the font of COMMENT of language VHDL to MS Gothic, hit save, and closed and exited Notepad++. I am able to relaunch Notepad++ and still see the change (I'm running Notepad++ in admin mode on Win7).
The only file that I can see a new timestamp on is my XML theme file, but I don't see MS Gothic anywhere in the file. Where is this information being stored? It is overriding the settings from my theme file. I also checked %APPDATA%\Notepad++\stylers.xml but I don't see it there either.
I realize I can change it back through the GUI, but I'd like to know how to get back to my original theme without selecting every style in the language manually (as I've made multiple changes). If I could edit (or delete) a file, I would prefer it.
Look in your %APPDATA%\Notepad++ folder, specifically for the stylers.xml file.
Uninstall Notepad++
Reinstall it again, but this time check the first box, the one that says "Don't use %APPDATA%..... "
Enjoy.
The reason is that Notepad++ install all the files at administrator profile, if you are using another user then you are screw, it will not work properly, you have to run it always as an administrator so it can work properly. To avoid this, just do as i said.
If files are going to APPDATA, then you can create a folder called "themes" and then inside that place your new xml themes. Then close and reopen notepad++ and you should see your new style in the "Select theme:" drop down. Whatever you named the file should be what appears in the dropdown
If you are on Windows 10 the path to add the new theme is :
C:\Users\NAME-OF-COMPUTER\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\themes
stylers.xml is located one director/ folder above the themes :
Just as a complement to the other answers, if you made the changes on another theme than the default theme (stylers.xml) then your changes are saved to
%APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes\TheThemeYouModified.xml.
For example, if you modified the choco theme, then look for the %APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes\choco.xml.
You will also find a choco.xml in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\themes but this one is not where your changes are saved.
I tried Rbastardo answer, but even when I check "Don't use %APPDATA%....." when installing Notepad++, the changes are still saved in %APPDATA%.
In case this helps someone in the future, if you installed Notepad++ via Scoop then look for your themes directory here:
D:\Users\yourusername\scoop\persist\notepadplusplus\themes
