Wait…

Wow! Your sublime looks different.

This is a sample that i've uploaded, and its available in service and can be downloaded. you have something cool, you can upload yours, and other can download it. You can look at files Prefernce Settings User, to see whats different, or available, also Packages Contorl Settings to know about the list of available packages. This is more in a thought process similar to uploading and browsing themes, but with more customization.
