Wow, that's really nice! The only other nice theme I've seen is the Soda theme (which I currently use), so kudos for providing a high quality alternative.
You can Add Repository as https://github.com/thinkpixellab/flatland and then Install Package, select Flatland and it'll work as if it's in the default repository list.
Although, after doing it, you then need to pull the Theme - Flatland folder out of "flatland", delete the other folder and rename the newly pasted folder to "Theme - Flatland"
Hooray, it only took 20+ years for people to start realizing that inverse color schemes SUCK.
Apple's vaunted UI doesn't even allow you to set up a color scheme, which every other GUI-based OS has allowed since the early '90s. So you're stuck reading black text off the glaring surface of a light bulb all day. Brilliant.
The default inverse (black text on white background) color scheme is the product of a failed late-'80s/early-'90s attempt to make the screen an analogy for a piece of paper. It's a vestige of the "desktop publishing" craze. It fails for a simple reason: Paper doesn't EMIT light.
While on that subject: who codes on dark themes? Seemed like a good idea to me at first but in the long run I find it much harder on the eyes than white background.
It depends on the lighting for me, and also the screen. On my MacBook with the glossy screen I prefer white themes until it's dark and there is less light, in which case I change to black. On matte screens I prefer dark all of the time.
Same here. I can only stare at a white background for so long before my eyes start to strain out. Plus, I find syntax highlighting to be far more effective on a dark background on a light one for some reason. I actually have a hard time reading code when it's primarily black text on a white background.
I do, simply because I'm conscious of the fact using a computer screen is essentially like staring into a lightbulb. I like to think dark themes minimize the damage to my retinas, but whether this is true or not, I don't know.
The nicest thing about Sublime Text 2 is that I never have to remember the location of various options anymore. Open-Command Panel-Type what I want does most things I'll ever have to deal with menus for me. :)
I'm a long-time Textmate user trying out Sublime Text 2. The Command Palette (Shift + Command + P) is really useful. I didn't know about it until this post. Thank you!
I wish we could get sets of theme instead of a single one - one theme for Firefox, chrome, oh-my-zsh and Sublime Text. Can anyone list the complete set. I have been using Soda in sublime btw.
I have been using it for a couple of day now. This theme is absolutely amazing. I love all Sublime themes but this one just shines through. Colours, especially within the sidebar (the new folder icon as well) are probably the greatest stand out feature. Thanks again for sharing.

Why it doesn’t appear in Package Control packages list, I cannot say. I think it was before.
In flatland.sublime-theme:
Tab element: "content_margin": [18, 5, 20, 20]
Tab button size (show_tab_close_button): "content_margin": [8, 8]
Tab dirty state: "content_margin": [18, 5, 15, 20]
Not perfect or I'd submit a pull request, but I like these tabs a lot more than the default.
Side note: could someone remind me what that plugin is that makes the small 'code overview' view on the right side in the screen shots?

Some suggestions:
* replace folder icons with simple triangle arrows * change structure of github repo so we can just clone it into packages
