Problem

The MarkdownEditing plugin by default use a theme that becomes annoying when your sublime system theme is of a dark one such as Centurion. More problematic, the plugin's default settings are not editable since it was not automatically saved in the file sysetm c:\Users\username\Appdata\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages.

Fix

1. Install the PackageResourceViewer plugin

2. ctrl+shift+p and type prv to bring the PackageResourceViewer up, find MarkdownEditing and hit return. Now the setting files are saved in the file system.

3. Open c:\Users\username\Appdata\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\MarkdownEditing\Markdown.sublime-settings, and make the following changes:

    //"color_scheme": "Packages/MarkdownEditing/MarkdownEditor.tmTheme",
    "color_scheme": "Packages/MarkdownEditing/MarkdownEditor-Dark.tmTheme",
    // "color_scheme": "Packages/MarkdownEditing/MarkdownEditor-Yellow.tmTheme",
    
    // Layout
    "draw_centered": false,
    // Line
    "line_numbers": true,
   

4. The above changes will

   • Use a theme at least close enough to Centurion
   • Left side aligned
   • Show the line numbers
