What you would do is copy the key and value for the background color, and then paste it into the "globals" section in the right hand file and rename from background to line_highlight.Sublime Text 2 is available for Windows, OS X and Linux at for free and can be evaluated as long as desired. "bracket_contents_foreground": "color(var(white3) alpha(0.65))", "find_highlight_foreground": "var(black)", For example, in the Monokai.sublime-color-scheme that ships with Sublime (which is the default color scheme), that section looks like this: "globals": If the file in the left pane is of type sublime-color-scheme (the newer format), then look for the key named "globals" inside of there will be a key named background. The file will have the appropriate name and be set up to save in the appropriate place when you save the file. If you don't already have such a file in your User package, PackageDev will use some stub content. That will create a new window (similar to how Preferences > Settings works) with the contents of your color scheme on the left, and an appropriate override file in your User package on the right.

Presuming that you never want to enable highlight_line at all, you can achieve that effect by making a modification to your color scheme so that the same color that's used for the background is also used for the line highlight. However it also removes the line numbers and blocks other functionality like the incremental diff indicators or any package that wants to display icons in the gutter (such as linters). One potential solution would be to set gutter to false to turn off the entire gutter area that will remove the highlight because there won't be anywhere to display it. There isn't any corresponding setting for turning off the highlight for the current line though. Regardless of this setting, as in your screenshot the area in the gutter that corresponds to the line that the caret or carets are on will be highlighted so that you can tell where the cursors are. The highlight_line setting controls whether or not the current line is highlighted as seen here it defaults to being turned off: // If enabled, will highlight any line with a caret
