CONTRIBUTING.md

Please Ask before submitting a new theme

• We are currently not looking to add any new themes. See #85
• If you feel that we are missing a theme or would like to add one please open an issue before you spend time creating a new theme.

###We recommend the following Brackets extensions to aid in debugging:

• https://github.com/cfjedimaster/brackets-csslint
• https://github.com/kidwm/brackets-editorconfig
• https://github.com/mikaeljorhult/brackets-todo (optional)
• https://github.com/DennisKehrig/brackets-show-whitespace (optional)
• https://github.com/couzteau/brackets-git-info (optional)

###Coding Guidelines:

• Please install the EditorConfig extension which will setup brackets for our standards.
• Please use 4 spaces instead of tabs.
• Make sure there is a new line at the end of the file.
• Install csslint extension and make sure there are no errors.
• Themes should be all lower case and use a - instead of a space for example: theme-name.css

###How to use csslint

1. Clone the git repository https://github.com/Jacse/themes-for-brackets.git
2. In brackets select open folder and open the themes-for-brackets folder that contains this CONTRIBUTING.md and the .csslintrc file
3. With .csslintrc in the root folder and the extension installed in brackets it will now work!

###Creating your own theme is easy.

1. Have a look at Pawel's bare Brackets theme here.
2. Copy it, customize it, and add it to the custom themes folder
3. On Windows it is located at C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Brackets\custom themes
4. On OS X it is located at ~/Library/Application Support/Brackets/custom themes
5. On Linux it is located at ~/.config/Brackets/custom themes
