Light Version

[stdavis]

I have really enjoyed this theme! Thanks for all of your work!

Just suggesting that a light version would be great. I like to switch between light and dark depending on the time of day.

I've been considering this idea, but it's interesting you say you like to switch with the time of day. Is sunset/sunrise usually when you switch?

Perhaps we can have an option to auto-switch the theme based on the time.

[stdavis]

Yes, generally I use Light during the daylight and Dark in the evenings. My desk faces some large windows. Auto switching based on sunrise/set would be ideal for me. Time of day would be less useful. Or just a toggle command would be great as well.

[tjkohli]

What's your ideal place for a toggle command? In the Command Palette? Or is the theme configuration fine for you?

[stdavis]

Ideal would be the command pallet. But theme config is what I currently do.

[tjkohli]

How about automatically changing it at Sunrise/Sunset in your current time zone? Or would that not be useful?

[stdavis]

That would be awesome!

[tjkohli]

No promises but I'll try my best.

There's apparently already a plugin that also does that, just FYI: https://atom.io/packages/sunset

[stdavis]

Thanks for the recommendation on the sunset package. That's cool.

@stdavis Hey, how is the theme holding up for you? There have been some new updates lately. Do you still want a light theme?

[stdavis]

Hey @tjkohli. To be honest I hadn't looked at it in the while. I find myself rotating between a few different themes for variety. I took a look at your latest updates and it looks great!

Yes, I would still be interested in a light version of this theme. I now use sunset (thanks for the tip!) to switch based on sunset/rise to switch between light and dark themes.

@stdavis Which light and dark themes do you use and why? I love hearing user feedback so I can improve Nebula.

[stdavis]

I use one-light for my light theme. I like it because it's simple and the colors pop nicely for JS.

I used to use nebula for my dark theme but recently switch to one-dark. Only because of the new feature of automatically hiding the tab. It's jarring to have the tab hiding and showing every time I make changes to a file then save it. I don't like the fact that the line that I'm typing on moves up and down.

For example:

I wish that there was a config that I could turn this feature off with. Otherwise, I've really enjoyed nebula.

[tjkohli]

Please keep in mind that the up/down animation only happens if you have exactly one tab open. However, I was actually working on a preference for that feature. If you can hang in, it'll be released soon!

Edit: Done! @stdavis

[stdavis]

Just upgraded and unchecked the box. Thanks!
