What is the way to change the color of the side bar (file browser)? What do I need to add to my .tmTheme file to modify the defaults?
Using a dark theme the side bar can be too bright for my taste.

Then in Preferences > Browse Packages > User, create a new file and call it Default. sublime-theme (be sure that the extension is in . sublime-theme). Then you can change the sidebar color by changing the RGB values of “Background color”.
You have to add a folder to the Sublime Text window in order to navigate via the sidebar. Go to File -> Open Folder... and select the highest directory you want to be able to navigate. Also, 'View -> Sidebar -> Show Sidebar' if it still doesn't show.
You want to go into your
~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/Default/Default.sublime-theme (old version) or
~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/Theme-Default/Default.sublime-theme (new version) and edit these things:
"class": "sidebar_container""class": "sidebar_tree""class": "sidebar_heading""class": "sidebar_label"Therein you can change the RGB colors until you get what you want.
Here is a thread that discusses this in greater detail.

AGS is right but they recently changed the location of the default theme file.
As of now it is at Packages/Theme - Default/Default.sublime-theme
The "Packages/Default" folder contains other non-theme related files now.
