Sublime text 2 - Change side bar color

You want to go into your

~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/Default/Default.sublime-theme

(old version) or

~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/Theme-Default/Default.sublime-theme 

(new version) and edit these things:

  • "class": "sidebar_container"
  • "class": "sidebar_tree"
  • "class": "sidebar_heading"
  • "class": "sidebar_label"

Therein you can change the RGB colors until you get what you want.

Here is a thread that discusses this in greater detail.

edit: added the correct location provided by @Michael Tunnell

AGS is right but they recently changed the location of the default theme file.

As of now it is at Packages/Theme - Default/Default.sublime-theme

The "Packages/Default" folder contains other non-theme related files now.


Try installing the Soda theme. The dark theme has a nice dark side bar.
