Modify app chrome:

Check out the Soda Theme.

I like Soda "dark", as it has a dark sidebar (CTRL + S).

1. Cmd + Shift + P >> Install Package >> "Soda" theme.
2. Add "theme": "Soda Dark.sublime-theme" to your user config.
3. Restart ST2.

Note: Themes are different from color schemes, so they just impact the sidebar and other "chrome" elements. Another way to edit the sidebar color

Color scheme:

I like the Soda color scheme (found as a download on this page). Instructions:

• Download colour-schemes.zip
• Unzip and place the extracted tmtheme files in the Sublime Text 2 Packages/User folder
• Enable the colour scheme via Preferences -> Color Scheme -> User

Note: The Packages/User folder is here:

~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/Packages

Change the opacity of theme rulers (aka tab stops):

1. Sublime Text 2 >> Preferences >> Browse Packages...
2. Open folder User.
3. Open/edit Monokai Soda.tmTheme.
4. Modify the background setting (notice the 40, that's the opacity value):

<key>settings</key>
    ...
    <key>foreground</key>
    <string>#F8F8F240</string>
    ...

• Whitespace color or transparency
