I love the Solarized Dark theme, I use it everywhere. I use Sublime Text 3 as my default editor, and over the years I have been slowly tweaking the color_scheme to better suite my tastes. The default light colored drawer didn't work for me, so I wrote a theme to match my color_scheme. I hope you enjoy...

Clone to:

/Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/Theme-SolarizedSwill

Enable by navigating to:

Sublime Text > Preferences > Color Schemes > Theme-SolarizedSwill > SolarizedSwill

Clone to:

C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\Theme-SolarizedSwill

Enable by navigating to:

Sublime Text > Preferences > Color Schemes > Theme-SolarizedSwill > SolarizedSwill

You may notice that inside Theme-SolarizedSwill there is both SolarizedSwill and SolarizedDark as options. The SolarizedDark color scheme is the standard version which most of you are probably familiar with. I included it in case you prefer that color_scheme.

Since this is the only Solarized Dark theme available to match the drawer and tabs with the color_scheme, I expect people will likely use it as a starting point for modifications.

With this in mind, I chose to override the Default.sublime-theme for the following reasons:

• By not creating a full theme, I can override only the pieces I care about, making the file easier to customize and understand.
• Simplifies the installation process because it is picked up automatically if it is present.

The only downside of customizing the Default.sublime-theme file is that the change is global. If you change to a different color scheme, the tabs and drawer will remain themed to match the SolarizedSwill color scheme. You will have to rename that file to undo the change.
