That is the only “syncing” that is occurring. It just makes the Merge theme point to the same color scheme that Sublime Text is using. The theme just needs to be updated to point to the desired color scheme. On the positive side though when someone is creating a Sublime UI theme or color scheme he can cover both apps in one go with a single file / package.Īgain, the color schemes don’t have to be synced between Sublime and Merge as Merge will source them from Sublime. Even if some of these color definitions are redundant / unused in Text or Merge apps. sublime-color-scheme files so that they are useable for both Text & Merge apps. I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible to add the Merge / diff specific color categories to. Add some support for global Sublime wide Themes and Schemes. Found more info on Merge color shcemes here: īut one can dream and hence this feature request. sublime-color-scheme format schemes by pointing to it from Merge’s preferences file. I wasn’t able to force Merge to load any of. Not just the extra diff categories missing but literally. The color schemes appear to be incompatible between Text and Merge. Please note I’m talking about syntax color scheme, not UI theme. The biggest issue I have is taking the same syntax color scheme I use in Text and use it in Merge. For UI themes I think I can survive with stock Light and Dark themes in both Text & Merge. Either installed via package manager or those downloaded / cloned manually from public Github repos and elsewhere. I have no issues selecting UI themes nor syntax schemes in Text. So there isn’t really anything like Package Control for Merge yet either. The interfaces are just so different, so Sublime Themes are not used in Merge.Ĭould Sublime Text and Merge, someday in the future, somehow generalize all of their UI bits and such to be themed in a generic way? Maybe? I can’t speak to the challenges there.Īlso, currently, there is no plugin system for Merge yet (though it appears to be on the roadmap). While the theme engine is the same for both Sublime Text and Merge, a Sublime Text theme will not style all of the required Merge elements. There may be more themes, but the only 3rd party themes I know that are available currently are and. The theme in Merge dictates what color scheme is being used though.Ĭurrently, Merge only ships with the light and dark theme. You don’t even need to install the color scheme in Merge, it will use the one in Sublime Text. Merge can already use any color scheme that is currently being used in Sublime Text. Really I think a built in stock syncing option a must. It sort works for some syntax themes but not everything synced correctly. I think a preference option to allow for global UI & syntax schemes for both Text & Merge apps (and hopefully any other Sublime productivity apps coming our way in the future) would be super useful.īefore you send me to 3rd party Text->Merge color scheme syncing addon packages: I tried this already. Surely if user purchased both Text & Merge apps he would prefer a single global UI & syntax color scheme, not? Most developers I know would waste days on setting things the way they like and that usually includes applying a common color scheme across all apps from email clients to terminals, editors and CVS. How on earth I’ve managed to overlook such gems for so long is beyond me!Īnyways, having just switched to Text & Merge as my daily drivers I think the first very obvious shortcoming is the separate UI theme & syntax management per app. I’m new to Sublime family but liking both Text & Merge so far.
