Recommended settings

Font

I'm using the Roboto Mono Medium Nerd Font Complete font in my screenshots. On macOS, you can install it with Homebrew, like this:

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew cask install font-robotomono-nerd-font

For other OSes, you can also find the font file here.

Settings

Here is the my recommended settings for this theme – the ones used in the screenshots. To add them, go to Preferences → Settings. Add/replace the following lines:

	"font_face": "Roboto Mono Medium Nerd Font Complete",
	"font_size": 12,
	"line_padding_bottom": 1,
	"line_padding_top": 1,
	"bold_folder_labels": true,
	"ensure_newline_at_eof_on_save": true,
	"index_files": true,
	"tab_size": 4,
	"translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
	"trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": true,
	"word_wrap": true,
	"ensure_newline_at_eof_on_save": true,
	"caret_style": "blink",
	"draw_shadows": false

Custom settings

If you would like to change a few things to make your experience better, you can easily customize the theme and the color scheme on ST4:

Customize the Theme

To change something related to the theme (sidebar, title bar etc):

Pull up the command palette with cmd/ctrl + shift + p
Type in Customize Theme and press Enter. It will open a new window with two tabs opened: on the left, the default theme values ; on the right, your own customised values.

For example, if you want to change the sidebar font size (which is quite small by default), you can do that:

// Documentation at https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/themes.html
{
    "variables":
    {
    },
    "rules":
    [
      {
         "class": "sidebar_label",
         "font.size": 13, // increase font size for sidebar folder/files
         "font.face": "Fira Code" // changing the font face as well
      },
    ]
}

More infos about Sublime Text theming rules can be found here: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/themes.html.

Customize the color scheme

To change something related to the color scheme (syntax highlighting of your code):

Pull up the command palette with cmd/ctrl + shift + p
Type in Customize Color scheme and press Enter. It will open a new window with two tabs opened: on the left, the default color scheme values ; on the right, your own customised values.

For example, if you want to change the Markdown headings color from orange to yellow, you can do:

{
    "variables":
    {
    },
    "globals":
    {
    },
    "rules":
    [
    {
        "name": "Markup: Heading Symbols",
        "scope": "markup.heading",
        "foreground": "#afe61d",
        "font_style": "bold"
    },
    {
        "name": "Markdown headings Section",
        "scope": "entity.name.section.markdown",
        "foreground": "#afe61d"
    },
    ]
}
