Syntax Specific Settings

Syntax specific color schemes will override the behavior of all other commands for listing and switching schemes! Reset the syntax specific scheme setting to return to the normal behavior.

Schemr: Set scheme for current syntax displays the scheme selection list to choose a color scheme for the syntax mode of the current file.

Schemr: Reset scheme for current syntax removes the color scheme setting for the syntax mode of the current file. Only available if a syntax specific color scheme has been set.

User Settings

These settings are available to control some of Schemr's behavior. Add them to Preferences.sublime-settings if you wish to override the default value.

schemr_brightness_threshold: Integer 0-255. Defaults to 100.

The brightness theshold setting allows you to define where the cutoff occurs between Dark and Light themes. Higher values indicate increasing brightess approaching white, while lower values indicate decreasing brightess approaching black.

schemr_brightness_flags: Boolean true|false. Defaults to true.

The brightness flags setting allows you to disable the "[Dark]" or "[Light]" text that appears after the scheme name in the quick panel. Disabling this will turn off color scheme parsing entirely and may increase performance if you have a large number of schemes.

schemr_preview_selection: Boolean true|false. Defaults to true.

If you are using Sublime Text 3, you can enable/disable previewing the highlighted color scheme as you move through the scheme list. Some performance issues related to the SublimeLinter and Color Highlighter plugins may be resolved by disabling this setting.

Note about SublimeLinter and Color Highlighter

To improve the user experience, Schemr filters schemes that contain (SL) or (Color Highlighter) from being listed or activated with Schemr commands. These schemes can still be enabled manually through the application menu or user settings file.

If a color scheme does not define colors for the SublimeLinter or Color Highlighter, the scheme file is extended and the written to a file in the Packages/User directory. If you switch between a lot of schemes this can quickly pollute the scheme list with many duplicates. Activate the base color scheme through Schemr and SublimeLinter/Color Highlighter will switch to their version automatically.
