Configuration
UI Typeface
From the Soda-Theme Wiki:
To begin customising an existing theme, create a new file in your
User
folder (located in the Sublime TextPackages
directory) with the same name as the theme file you are extending. […] From this point, any valid theme rules you place in this file will automatically be applied by Sublime Text when the related theme is active.
Instructions
- Download the CuriosityUI.Type file (
Save Link As…
). Take it from the cloned repository, if you followed the “Hacker” way. - Move the file in the
Packages/User
folder - If you prefer a custom type, edit all the font references (eg: Source Code instead of PragmataPro) using
Find&Replace
or Cmd+D (OSX) or Ctrl+D (Win/Linux) to select all the instances - Change its name to
Curiosity.sublime-theme
- Restart Sublime Text. It's blazing fast, isn't it?
- You are free to add other custom theme rules
Font Recommendations
PragmataPro
PragmataPro™ is a condensed monospaced font optimized for screen, designed to be the ideal font for coding and engineering.
Designed by Italian type designer Fabrizio Schiavi over the last years, it has no interline spacings so it's perfect as UI typeface as well. It's quite expensive, but it's worth every penny if you consider the great aumont of the work. Furthermore, don't forget to have a look at these slick OpenType ligatures
Input
Input is a flexible system of fonts designed specifically for code by David Jonathan Ross. It offers both monospaced and proportional fonts, all with a large range of widths, weights, and styles for richer code formatting.
Attention: If you want to use Input as UI typeface, you should download the tweaked version used for the Yosemite Font Replacement. If you're using OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), take into account that this font replaces Helvetica as system font: be careful!
Tab Height
Change the height of the tabs by adding one of these settings in your Preferences
file:
“json
"curiosity_tabs_small”: true,
```json
"curiosity_tabs_medium": true,
"curiosity_tabs_large": true,
Sidebar
Change the font size and vertical spacing of the sidebar by adding one of these settings in your Preferences
file:
Font size
"curiosity_sidebar_font_small": true
"curiosity_sidebar_font_normal": true
"curiosity_sidebar_font_large": true
"curiosity_sidebar_font_xlarge": true
Vertical spacing
"curiosity_sidebar_xsmall": true
"curiosity_sidebar_small": true
"curiosity_sidebar_normal": true
"curiosity_sidebar_large": true
"curiosity_sidebar_xlarge": true
Transparency
Disable the transparency in your Quick Panel
and Go to…
panel by adding this setting in your Preferences
file:
“json
"curiosity_notransparency”: true
**Attention**: if you use `Quick Switch Project…` regularly, you should disable transparency to [avoid annoying glitches](https://github.com/dmnplb/curiosity/issues/1).

### SublimeLinter
![CuriositySublimeLinter](screenshots/sublimelinter.png)
<sub>[SCSS-Lint](https://github.com/brigade/scss-lint) in action</sub>
#### Color Scheme
From [SublimeLinter docs](http://www.sublimelinter.com/en/latest/usage.html):
> SublimeLinter checks to see if the color scheme contains its named colors. If not, it adds those colors to a copy of the color scheme, writes it to the `Packages/User/SublimeLinter` directory with a ` (SL)` suffix added to the filename, and switches to the modified color scheme.
`curiosity.base16.tmTheme` includes SublimeLinter named colors. That means you shouldn't have a generated color scheme in a generated `Packages/User/SublimeLinter` directory.
#### Gutter Theme
1. Go to `Preferences → Package Settings → SublimeLinter → Settings - User`
2. Add or replace your current theme with the following line:
```json
"gutter_theme": "Packages/Theme - Curiosity/linter/Curiosity.gutter-theme"
Gutter icons are colorized, so you are free to change their colors in your SublimeLinter.sublime-settings
file.
Markdown
Typeface in use: Pragmata Pro, designed by Fabrizio Schiavi
Instructions
- Close all open
*.md
files - Install MarkdownEditing, the most popular and complete Markdown plugin for Sublime Text. If you have problems, read carefully the project's page
- Open any Markdown file
- Go to and click
Preferences → Settings - More → Syntax Specific - User
- Add or replace your current Markdown settings with the following lines:
{
"color_scheme": "Packages/Theme - Curiosity/curiosity.base16.markdown.tmTheme",
"draw_centered": true,
"draw_indent_guides": false,
"trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": false,
"line_numbers": false,
"highlight_line": false,
"word_wrap": true,
"wrap_width": 80
}
Please note that MarkdownEditing doesn't provide a native support for YAML Front Matter yet. The color scheme included in Curiosity supports it, though.

This wouldn't have been possible without the beautiful work made by Gadzhi Kharkharov, author of Spacegray theme, and Jamie Wilson, author of Predawn theme. A huge thanks to both! :)
