Why we like it

A modest utility that stands out in the Superhive library for pairing text-editor theming with two bonus navigation add-ons.

What is Text Editor Theme?

Text Editor Theme brings colour customization to Blender's text editor. You can create, save, delete, and switch between custom themes in real time, with each theme stored as a simple JSON file that's easy to tweak, share, and version. A live HTML editor can sample colours from images to generate palettes instantly, and themes can be imported and exported as JSON. The add-on includes 52 ready-made themes spanning styles such as Warm Desert, Sunset Glow, Deep Ocean, Cyberpunk, Retro Film, Pastel Garden, Industrial, and Nude Tones.

The purchase also includes two bonus add-ons for Blender's text editor. Text Minimap provides a VS-Code-style overview of your code with clickable line and block jump navigation, custom colours and border, and a panel toggle that remembers its state. Code Navigator offers a filtered list of imports, classes, and functions with one-click jump and highlight, presented in a lightweight, panel-based UI.

Text Editor Theme runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and supports Blender 3.6 through 5.0. It is distributed under the GPL license.
