## What it is
Cobalt2 is a refined color scheme and UI theme for Sublime Text based on the original cobalt theme. It styles the full editor interface including sidebar, tabs, and search, with support for SublimeLinter, git diffing, and popular plugins.

## Use cases
- make Sublime Text easier on the eyes with a blue color scheme
- theme the Sublime Text sidebar, tabs, and command palette
- get a color scheme that supports GitGutter and SublimeLinter
- find a dark blue theme for coding JavaScript and CSS
- customize sidebar font size and padding in Sublime Text

## When to choose
- you use Sublime Text and want a polished, refined cobalt-blue theme
- you want full UI theming (sidebar, tabs, search) not just syntax colors
- you use plugins like GitGutter or SublimeLinter and want them styled consistently

## When to avoid
- you use VS Code or another editor rather than Sublime Text (separate cobalt2 ports exist)
- you need a theme with active development or recent updates
- you want a light theme

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