With Sublime Text there's a difference between code color schemes, and editor themes.

That's awesome to know. I didn't realize the app had themes too. I'm confused as to why though.

Oh awesome. Retina mode. Not that I ever noticed it not being Retina since I run my rPro at 1920x1200 which makes even pixellated GUI images smooth enough, but this is nice...

Now to figure out how to install this thing easily. So many words on that page. So many words. Just give me something to double-click already! Actually, this brings up my one Sublime Text pet peeve. No GUI for settings. I hate that I need to edit text files to change settings. And it makes testing out color schemes a pain in the ass as you have to go into the menu for every single one. Give me a damn GUI! This isn't the '80s! And now my rant is over.

Edit: Got it! Sooo much better without the distracting white sidebar.

Thanks for sharing that theme, as I think it looks pretty nice. As an Emacs user I sometimes use themes that are ported from/inspired by Sublime Text, and if any other Emacs users here wish to do the same they should check this out:

Vim.

Don't get daunted by it, and don't think that because you can't play VimGolf you aren't worth; just use it how you want to use it, and eventually you'll start adding in new things. Honestly, for me, just the fact that the "o" command exists is enough for me to cry when I am forced to use other editors.
