This post is for Sublime 3   I just installed Sublime 3  the 64 bit version  on Ubuntu 14 04  I can t tell the difference between this version and Sublime 2 as far as user interface  The reason I didn t go with Sublime 2 is that it gives an annoying  GLib critical  error messages   Anyways - previous posts mentioned the file  sublime text 3 Packages Color  Scheme  -  Default sublime-package  I wanted to give two tips here with respect to this file in Sublime 3    You can edit it with pico and use  W to search the theme name  The first search result will bring you to an XML style entry where you can change the values  Make a copy before you experiment  If you choose the theme in the sublime menu  under Preferences Color Scheme  before you change this file  then the changes will be cached and your change will not take effect  So delete the cached version and restart sublime for the changes to take effect  The cached version is at    config sublime-text-3 Cache Color Scheme - Default
