Hi!

I use Windows 8.1 x64, Atom 1.0 After install I tried to change styling but can't see any changes - only theme by default.

Plugin settings: screenshot_6

Result: screenshot_7

I cannot reproduce the issue you're having. To try and get as close as possible to your scenario, I used the One Light UI Theme and matched the Base16 Syntax settings in your screenshot. The result can be seen below:

Do you have the latest version of Base16 Syntax (v1.1.0)?

Do you see any errors when you open the Developer Tools in Atom?

Can you browse through the different themes in the preview mode of Base16 Syntax? To try the previews, open your Command Palette (ctrl+shift+p) and type in Base16 Syntax: Select Theme. It should give you a list of the themes and give you a live preview of the selected theme on the editors you have open.

Can't do it. screenshot_4

Tested on Windows 8.1 x64 and Windows 7 x64.

I have the feeling that somehow the package is not loaded properly (0ms startup time) or that the package misses files (although in that case I'd expect errors). I just reinstalled mine without problems. Can you try reinstalling the package and/or restarting Atom?

Same after reinstall.

I tried to do a fresh Atom install on another Windows 8 machine and Base16 Syntax behaved normally. I am honestly at a loss as to what the problem could be in your case. I suspect no syntax highlighting is being applied at all. It typically defaults to a white background with black text if a syntax theme fails to load.

Can you install other packages and themes without any problems?

Packages I use:

  • Emmet
  • Minimap
  • Sync-settings

Themes I use:

  • Base16 Syntax

Can you install other packages and themes without any problems?

Yes. I have installed Unity theme and it works fine. screenshot_8

If I change theme from Themes menu - it works that it should.

Thanks again for the information. I'll dig around and see if I can find anything that could possibly cause your issue.

Still can't change theme in 2016 :smile:

Fresh Windows 7 x64, atom 1.4.0, base16 1.6.2

Going through the conversation again, I noticed in the last screenshot you pointed at the UI Theme, while Base16 is a Syntax Theme. In that screenshot 'One Light' is configured as Syntax Theme. Just to be sure, did you set your Syntax Theme to Base16?

The only reason I can currently think of that prevents changing the default theme settings in Base16 is not having write permissions to C:\Users\UserName\.atom\packages\base16-syntax\styles\syntax-variables.less. The configured Base16 style and scheme need to be written to the syntax-variables file, because that file is used by other packages to obtain various colors.
