I am trying to edit some of the syntax colours in Sublime Text 3. I'm using the Solarized (Light) built in colour scheme but I only want to change a few of the colours. Where is the settings file (on a Mac)?

I have managed to find a solution:

Go to http://tmtheme-editor.herokuapp.com (someone has built a web-based theme editor). Once you have tweaked the colour syntax you can download the themename.tmTheme file. Move that file to /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/ User/ (if you are on a Mac).

Load in the syntax theme from the top menu: Sublime Text > Preferences > Color Scheme > themename.

If you want to tweak you syntax further up can upload the custom theme back in the web-based theme editor and save it out again.

Hope this helps someone else.
