Cloud9 IDE local themes

Question

The Cloud9 IDE docs say you can import a Textmate theme, but i cant figure it out. Can some one explain step-by-step how i can do this. Im trying to include the theme on my localhost by the way.

I found this link, but i still dont get it...

The above url also mentioned being able to edit already existing themes. This would also come in handy if any one knows how to / where the files are located.

Answer 1

Follow these steps, assuming my theme name is 'pretty.tmTheme':

1. Copy pretty.tmTheme to 'cloud9/node_modules/ace/tool/tmThemes/'
2. Go to cloud9/node_modules/ace/tool/ and run 'node tmtheme.js'
3. Go to cloud9/
4. Run 'make ace'
5. Run 'make theme'
6. Open cloud9/plugins-client/ext.themes_default/themes_default.js and add your theme to the list. For ex: '"Pretty": "ace/theme/pretty"'
7. Run Cloud9 and select new theme from the view/themes list.
8. Enjoy! ;)

Answer 2

Sorry, I don't have enough rep to comment on the accepted answer, but there seems to be a step missing from the list for this to work, at least for me. Here is the edited version, which I will also submit to @Shogun.

Follow these steps, assuming my theme name is 'All Hallows Eve.tmTheme':

1. Copy 'All Hallows Eve.tmTheme' to 'cloud9/node_modules/ace/tool/tmThemes/'
2. Open 'cloud9/node_modules/ace/tool/tmtheme.js' and add the new theme to the 'theme' var (currently line 231). Example: '"all_hallows_eve": "All Hallows Eve"'. The key you define here will be the one you add to 'ace/theme/' in step 7 and the value would be the tmTheme filename. So for this, step 7 would be 'ace/theme/all_hallows_eve' and the theme file you added in step 1 would be 'All Hallows Eve.tmTheme'.
3. Go to cloud9/node_modules/ace/tool/ and run 'node tmtheme.js'
4. Go to cloud9/
5. Run 'make ace'
6. Run 'make theme'
7. Open cloud9/plugins-client/ext.themes_default/themes_default.js and add your theme to the list. For ex: '"All Hallows Eve": "ace/theme/all_hallows_eve"'
8. Run Cloud9 and select new theme from the view/themes list.
9. Enjoy! ;)

Sorry for the lengthy addition. I just want to be as clear as possible. I used a different example than Pretty.tmTheme because it was unclear to me how to account for spaces in filenames when I tried the solution with 'All Hallows Eve'.
