How to change theme images in sublime-text?

Question

Sublime Text

I can’t figure out how to change the sprites in the theme, for example, in soda dark I want to change the tabs. But since the theme is stored in a packed archive, it only comes to mind to unpack, change what you need and pack. Does anyone know if it could be easier to do this?

Answer 1

Install the Package Resource Viewer plugin . Ctrl+Shift+P → PackageResourceViewer: Open Resource (using fuzzy search , just write prv ) → Theme - Soda → SodaDark.sublime-theme → in the opened file, look for tab_control - this is the name of the tab class.
Some {curly braces} with "class": "tab_control"will contain lines starting with "layer0.texture", for example, "layer0.texture":"Theme - Soda/Soda Dark/tab-inactive.png". Theme - Soda/Soda Dark/tab-inactive.png - relative path to the image file, starting with Preferences → Browse Packages.... Replace the paths to Soda Dark images in the file with the path to your images → save the file → the tabs should change.
Where to get images if you don't have them ready. We choose the theme you like, - for example, take Cobalt2, - google its repository on GitHub , look for the tab_control class in the theme file with the sublime-theme extension , find which images in the tabs correspond to it → download these images . Large tabs will not work, see unclosed bug . Thank you.
