## What it is
Afterglow is a minimal dark UI theme and syntax color scheme for Sublime Text 2 and 3, based on Spacegray with colors derived from idlefingers. It offers multiple accent color variants and is now deprecated and unmaintained.

## Use cases
- make Sublime Text look dark and minimal
- install a dark theme for Sublime Text 2 or 3
- change Sublime Text color scheme to a soft dark palette
- customize sidebar icons and tab heights in Sublime Text
- get a Markdown-specific color scheme for Sublime Text

## When to choose
- you use Sublime Text 2 or 3 and want a proven minimal dark theme
- you prefer the idlefingers-like syntax palette with accent color options

## When to avoid
- you use Sublime Text 4 or a different editor
- you need an actively maintained theme with new fixes
- you need a license-clear project (no license is provided)

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: theme
- domain: text-editors, web-design, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
