Predawn

A dark interface and syntax theme for Sublime Text and Atom.

About

Predawn is a minimal Sublime Text theme and a syntax color scheme. It was originally just a slightly tweaked version (called Flatland-Alt) of the Flatland theme, which itself is a flat reworking of Soda. I decided to keep going with customization and rework the entire theme. But I owe a lot to Flatland and Soda. Thanks guys!
