will Proton touch my custom Atom stylesheet, or is there a way to customise that within .proton?

(I'm new to Atom and Proton btw)

Proton does not touch your stylesheet

SPC f e s will get you to your stylesheet

awesome, thank you

No problem. Keep in mind that it does overwrite your config.cson unless you set ["proton.core.wipeUserConfigs" false] in your .proton file

Shouldn't be a problem for you since you're new to Atom

Yeah, I'm not touching any Atom config files, aiming to have a fully portable Proton config all in the .proton file

but it's no problem to add the styles.css to my dotfile repo too simple_smile

Yep, that's what I do 😄

If you want to check it out

lots of options I didn't know about in here

Btw, my styles(win).less file is just one I use on Windows because fonts suck on Windows.

my dotfiles repo is a bit of a mess atm as i'm trying out different editors but here's my current config https://github.com/kmoe/dotfiles/blob/master/.proton

I use it to keep track of themes I've tried - still haven't found one I like

going to have to write some CSS 😢

Another tip for finding a packages settings names. You can open up dev tools and type atom.packages.config.defaultSettings to get a list of the default settings for all installed packages

I should probably write document that somewhere in the proton repo. 😛

my workflow is currently: set options in Atom GUI to my liking, look at generated config file, copy settings over to .proton

Ah, that's probably better simple_smile

As for themes, I've found it's beneficial to get accustomed to solarized-dark because it's available damn-near everywhere

I've yet to find an editor that doesn't support it

good point, I was spoilt for choice a bit with Sublime and went very custom

I need high contrast though

and most Atom themes are really low contrast

I can't read comments in the default theme!

Yeah, comments aren't quite as readable in solarized either

So now I'm trying to get rid of the file icons in the tab bar. I understand file-icons is part of the core layer - is there a way of disabling it in my config?

You don't like file icons??

So in atom there are ways to disable packages that are installed

Atom Settings -> Packages -> File Icons Then press the "Disable" button

Now to find if there's an option to do that in the .proton

file icons take up valuable horizontal space - I tend to have lots of tabs open at once...

thank you btw simple_smile

["core.disabledPackages" ["file-icons"]]

how did you find that option, btw? is it documented somewhere?

Oh, but you can just disable the file-icons on the tab

so to just disable them on the tab, I would assume it would be ["file-icons.tabPaneIcon" false]

yeah, that didn't work for some reason

but it's pretty much perfect with the package disabled

I'm glad that option exists as proton would have been a bit inflexible without it

I opened dev-tools and typed atom.packages.config.defaultSettings, browsed the core structure and saw that there was a disabledPackages array

👍 1

That's one of the few settings that isn't available on the Core Settings page of Atom, presumably because you disable them from the Packages page

hmm, ["core.disabledPackages" ["file-icons"]] seems to have broken my config

lines after that are getting ignored

oh no, it's just relative line numbers

You mean that the relative line numbers are being messed up? Mine still works with that line in my .proton

it seems I was wrong - other stuff does work. but I tried turning relative line numbers off and it seems to have no effect

I'm still investigating though

sorry for rubber-ducking 😛

No problem, I'm happy to help

Who created your github icon, btw?

it's from my previous job at Kahoot! (http://getkahoot.com) - they have an artist who does avatars of all the employees

they very kindly let me keep it after I left

unfortunately I don't have the artist's name

okay so I've found that if you reload Atom using SPC _ R the core.disabledPackages setting sometimes doesn't get applied

possibly happens for other settings too - trying to reproduce consistently

That's such a cool idea!

I've also noticed that after three or four reloads that way, I'm no longer able to go into sub-menus. I have to restart Atom entirely.

I've noticed the same thing when using the autoreload on save for proton

I've looked into this briefly, but not enough to figure anything out
