I'm trying to change my sublime theme/colour scheme and i get 'unexpected trailing characters'
When I try to save the /User/Preferences.sublime-settings with this config
{
"theme": "Afterglow-green.sublime-theme",
"color_scheme": "Packages/Theme - Afterglow/Afterglow.tmTheme"
}
{
"tabs_small": true
}
I can't work out why I would be getting that message?
Your settings files in Sublime (all of them) need to be valid JSON. Yours should be as follows:
{
"theme": "Afterglow-green.sublime-theme",
"color_scheme": "Packages/Theme - Afterglow/Afterglow.tmTheme",
"tabs_small": true
}
Note that everything is enclosed in one (and only one) outer dictionary, denoted by curly braces {}
. There should also be a comma ,
at the end of every key: value pair, except for the last line. If there is only one line, don't use a comma.
Just out of interest, what is the "tabs_small"
setting for? It's not one of Sublime's default settings.
The selected answer is correct, however this prompt can also occur during application startup.
If this error occurs when you're starting Sublime, navigate to C:/Users/{Your User}/AppData/Roaming/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User
and open Plain text.sublime-settings
.
The issue with JSON can be resolved here.
