Theme customizations ignored

[wamatt]

I have followed all instructions in the wiki, and been through all the the troubleshooting. Yet cannot for the life of me, manage to get theme customizations working.

Here is a copy of Soda Light 3.sublime-theme in my User dir:

[
    {
        "class": "tab_label",
        "settings": ["highlight_modified_tabs"],
        "parents": [{"class": "tab_control", "attributes": ["dirty"]}],
        "fg": [245, 100, 90] 
    } 
]

• Declaration is fine: "theme": "Soda Light 3.sublime-theme" in my ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings file.
• The theme itself works fine. It's just customizations are ignored.

No errors in console.

Note:
However I should point out that it does appear to be reading the user file. As an example, if one places weird characters in the user file eg [] blah blah it will throw an error in console like so:
Error trying to parse file: Unexpected trailing characters in Packages/User/Soda Light 3.sublime-theme:8:3

I'm also experiencing this.

I found that removing the line "settings": ["highlight_modified_tabs"] makes this work!

I.e. using

[
  {
    "class": "tab_label",
    "parents": [{"class": "tab_control", "attributes": ["dirty"]}],
    "fg": [245, 100, 90]
  }
]

works like expected for me.

I firstly tried other customisations, by copy pasting from https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/blob/master/Soda%20Dark%203.sublime-theme and ajusting minor things. Then I found that taking out the line about setting made it work.

Nope. I copy/pasted from that file @mhogerheijde linked to, removed all "settings": ["highlight_modified_tabs"] lines, and still nothing.

Strange?

$ subl --version
Sublime Text Build 3083

Theme soda version: 2014.05.07.06.11.27

I'm currently using the dark theme:

Preferences.sublime-settings

{
    "color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Monokai.tmTheme",
    "theme": "Soda Dark 3.sublime-theme",
    "..." : "..."
}

I have installed this theme. It got installed, tab color os diffrent now but background color didn't cahnged.

{
    "color_scheme": "Packages/User/SublimeLinter/Monokai (SL).tmTheme",
    "theme": "Soda Light 3.sublime-theme"
}

When i delete the color_sheme line, it automatically come back. Seems some conflict with linter color scheme and theme color scheme.

ditto to all of the above

no custom changes are reflected until you comment out
"theme": "Soda Dark 3.sublime-theme",

Also,
"soda_folder_icons": false, seems to be ignored
