Guide to Installing Sublime Text Themes in Windows

     One of the quickest ways it install a theme is to place it directly into the necessary folder within your Sublime Text installation. This guide assumes you 1. Already have a theme file (.thTheme) and you know where it's saved to. 2. That you're running a version of Windows.

To install a theme:

1. Right-click and copy or paste the .thTheme file.

2. Go to this folder:  C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages\ User

Note: The folder name for Sublime Text may vary by version, but will still be under C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming

3. Paste in the .thTheme file.

4. Restart Sublime Text if it was already opened. 

5. Open Sublime Text. Go to: Preferences -> Color Scheme and chose your recently installed theme.

There you have it. A quick way to install themes without using a package manager.

Camouflage Theme for Sublime Text

Hello,

I recently made my first theme for Sublime Text editor. It is called camouflage.

A screenshot of this theme in action:

The theme file (Camouflage.tmTheme) can be found on my GitHub at:

https://github.com/mkelleyjr/SublimeThemes

To install this theme:

Pull down the file from my GitHub or copy it and paste into a text editor and  then save it as Camouflage.tmTheme

Next you will copy the file into this directory assuming you're running a Window's OS: 

C:\Users\(YOURUSERNAMEHERE)\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages\Color Scheme - Default

Note: Your version of Sublime Text could vary from mine. I'm currently running version 2 it appears...(need to update!) so the folder name may slightly vary. 

Once the file has been copied, you'll need to restart Sublime Text and then you can go to Preferences -> Color Scheme -> Camouflage to set it as your new color scheme. 

I've found this theme useful when working with strings and numbers. 

Note: This theme can also be used with Textmate editor on the Mac platform.
