Sublime Text showing a Python file in HackerBlue: a navy editor, steel-blue text, cyan keywords and italic muted comments, with the line numbers in a quiet grey-blue gutter.

Sublime Text build 4213 running on Linux with HackerBlue installed and selected.

How to install

Three steps in your device's terminal. Every command is exactly what you type; copy it, paste it, press Enter.

  1. Put the HackerBlue program on your device

    Linux or macOS: Terminal
    curl -fsSL https://hackerblue.dev/install.sh | sh
    Windows: PowerShell
    irm https://hackerblue.dev/install.ps1 | iex

  2. Sign in

    Terminal
    hackerblue login

    A page opens in your browser; sign in to your Hacker Blue account and choose Approve.

  3. Install the Sublime Text theme

    Terminal
    hackerblue install sublime-text

    Sublime Text switches as soon as the settings file changes; or pick Hacker Blue under Preferences → Color Scheme.

A file of yours called Hacker Blue.sublime-color-scheme is never overwritten.

Updates come with your licence: hackerblue update sublime-text when a newer version is out. hackerblue uninstall sublime-text removes it and restores your previous theme selection, keeping your later settings edits. Every command, and the rest of the guide: the install guide.

Sublime Text, default and in HackerBlue

The same view twice. The switch changes only the theme.

Sublime Text with its default look: a Python build file on a slate grey editor with orange, green and blue syntax colours. Sublime Text with HackerBlue: the same file on deep navy, with steel-blue code and cyan keywords.

Sublime Text build 4192 running on Linux, the same build file in its stock default look and in HackerBlue. Captured from the running app in a throwaway config.

Sublime Text belongs to its owner; Hacker Blue is not affiliated with or endorsed by it.

The theme

HackerBlue for Sublime Text is a color scheme in Sublime's own format. It colours your code, keywords, strings, functions, types and comments each get their own steel-blue or cyan, and the parts of the editor a scheme controls: the caret, the gutter and line numbers, the selection, find matches, bracket and indent guides, and the diff markers beside your changes.

Body text and comments keep at least 4.5:1 contrast against the editor background. What it does not change: Sublime's window chrome, the sidebar, tabs and menus, belongs to its UI theme, not to a color scheme, and stays as it is. It is a dark scheme, made and checked with Sublime Text build 4213 on Linux.
