Glacier

Glacier is a flat, colorful theme/scheme combo for Sublime Text. It focuses on using saturated colors to introduce more contrast and visual interest compared to other flat approaches.

Install

Via Package Control

Theme is listed as Theme - Glacier in Will Bond's Sublime Package Control.

Manual

1. Download the .zip
2. Unzip and rename the folder to Theme - Glacier
3. Copy the folder into Packages directory, which you can find using the menu item Preferences -> Browse Packages... in Sublime Text

Setup

Activate the UI theme and color scheme by modifying your user preferences file, which you can find using the menu item Preferences -> Settings - User in Sublime Text or cmd, on a Mac.

To change the color of the text input background, open Glacier.sublime-theme, search for “widget” and follow the comments.

Example settings

{
  "theme": "Glacier.sublime-theme",
  "color_scheme": "Packages/Theme - Glacier/glacier.sublime-color-scheme",
  // "color_scheme": "Packages/Theme - Glacier/glacier-legacy.tmTheme",
  "font_face": "Ubuntu Mono"
}

Color Scheme

The color scheme has been tested against many languages:

HTML

CSS

js

json

Key uses Hashed Syntax Highlighting. If you wish to disable this, create this file: Packages/Users/glacier-theme/glacier.sublime-color-scheme and add this in it:

{
  "rules": [
    {
      "name": "JSON - Keys",
      "scope": "source.json meta.mapping.key.json string.quoted.double.json",
      "foreground": "var(blue-bright-1)"
    }
  ]
}

lua

md

py

rst

sql

xml

yaml

Legacy

In case you were using this theme before 2019 and you prefer the original colors, you can activate glacier-legacy.tmTheme. But you will loose latest additions like “gutter line diff” and Markups colorization.

Other Editors

Future Updates

This is my first time writing a theme/color scheme for Sublime, so I have much to learn. As I learn more about styling bits and pieces of the UI, I will make improvements. Please feel free to open issues as you see fit, fork and improve, or contact/follow me on Twitter.
