Petroleum Theme

A very dark theme for Sublime Text 3 based on Soda.

This is especially suited for nocturnal or photophobe developers.

Design

The font used is Anomymous Pro

Installation

Petroleum theme is designed to work with the latest verion of Sublime Text, Sublime Text 3.

Using Sublime Package Control

The Petroleum Theme package is listed as Theme - Petroleum in the packages list.

Using Git

Alternatively, if you are a git user, you can install the theme and keep up to date by cloning the repo directly into your Packages directory in the Sublime Text application settings area.

You can locate your Sublime Text Packages directory by using the menu item Preferences -> Browse Packages....

While inside the Packages directory, clone the theme repository using the command below:

git clone https://github.com/ociidii-works/theme_petroleum/ "Theme - Petroleum"

Download Manually

• Download the files using the GitHub .zip download option
• Unzip the files and rename the folder to Theme - Petroleum
• Find your Packages directory using the menu item Preferences -> Browse Packages...
• Copy the folder into your Sublime Text Packages directory

Activating the theme

To configure Sublime Text to use the theme, follow the instructions below for your specific version.

Sublime Text 2

We lack the time and man-power to officially support Sublime Text 2 at the same time as Sublime Text 3. Sorry. :(

Sublime Text 3

• Open your User Settings Preferences file Sublime Text -> Preferences -> Settings - User
• Add (or update) your theme entry to be "theme": "Petroleum.sublime-theme"

Example Sublime Text 3 User Settings

{
    "theme": "Petroleum.sublime-theme"
}

Additional Features

Alternate Tab Styles

Petroleum Theme suppports the same alternate UI styles proposed by Soda Theme.

To avoid switching back and forth between repos, here's a quote from Soda Theme:

By default, a square tab style is used. If you'd prefer to use the original curved tab style, add the following custom setting to your Settings - User file:

“soda_classic_tabs”: true

Sidebar Folder Icons

Soda Theme has folder icons by default with Sublime Text 3.

If you'd like to use folder icons in the Sublime Text 2 sidebar instead of the regular arrows, add the following custom setting to your Settings - User file:

"soda_folder_icons": true

Retina Resolution UI

Soda Theme has been designed to take advantage of retina resolution (high-dpi) displays. Both Soda Light and Soda Dark support retina displays.

Theme Customisation

Sublime Text provides an elegant way to tweak existing themes without having to duplicate or maintain a separate copy of the original theme. If there are aspects of Petroleum Theme that you would like to adjust, take a look at the theme customisation wiki page.

Bonus Options

Syntax Highlighting Colour Schemes

We recommend using Pastel-Paws (Petroleum variant) as a color scheme since they are meant to be used together.

If you'd like to use the syntax highlighting schemes shown in the screenshots:

• Download Pastel Paws through Package Control
• Enable the colour scheme via Preferences -> Color Scheme -> User

Development

Please note, Sublime Text dev builds move quickly and changes can occur with the theme API between releases, so there may be occasions where the theme doesn't quite work with a brand new dev release.
