How to edit Sublime Text 3 Soda Theme

I installed the Soda Theme on Sublime Text 3 on OSX and I was wondering where are the actual files and folder to the theme that way I could look at the theme file and make my own edits to it, along with I would like to adjust a few of the images used in the theme.

On the Git documents it says if you are to manually install Soda on Sublime you place the soda folder in the package directory, although when I install Soda via Control Package I don't see the Soda theme in package directory.

Unless explicitly designated to not use it, most packages for Sublime Text 3 use the .sublime-package format (essentially a zip file). These packages are stored one directory up from the Packages folder, in Installed Packages. If you want to work with them, I highly recommend getting the PackageResourceViewer plugin by @skuroda. Install it via Package Control.

Once installed, open the command palette with P and type prv to get the PackageResourceViewer options. Choose Extract Package, navigate down to Theme - Soda, hit Enter, and you're all set - the directory Packages/Theme - Soda should now exist with all the files from the Github repo in it. The .sublime-theme files will probably be the ones you're most interested in for now.

Have fun!
