Settings View package

Edit core configuration settings, install and configure packages, and change themes from within Atom.

Usage

You can open the Settings View by navigating to Edit > Preferences (Linux), Atom > Preferences (macOS), or File > Settings (Windows).

In order to install new packages and themes, click on the Install section on the left-hand side. Once installed, community packages/themes and their settings are housed within their respective section. All packages/themes that have updates will be listed under the Updates section. Finally, all keybindings (including ones that community packages have added) are available in the Keybindings section.

Customize

The Settings View package uses the ui-variables to match a theme's color scheme. You can still customize the UI in your styles.less file. For example:

// Change the color of the titles
.settings-view .section .section-heading {
  color: white;
}

// Change the font size of the setting descriptions
.settings-view .setting-description {
  font-size: 13px;
}

Use the developer tools to find more selectors.
