People already noticed that switching the themes only worked through the settings since Rainmeter uses a specialized theme due to more regions required than most other programming languages. But if you tried to switch the theme in the Color Scheme settings it did not affect Rainmeter in any way (which is intended).

Color Schemes are the theme displayed for default tabs which do not own a specialized theme thus generally all your other files take that theme. If you wanted to switch the Rainmeter theme, you had to type in the theme manually which is quite error prone.

First I extended the settings to tell you all possible meaningful defaults

//The color scheme to use for Rainmeter syntax.
"color_scheme": "Packages/Rainmeter/Monokai (Rainmeter).tmTheme",
// "color_scheme": "Packages/Rainmeter/Lachgummi Joghurt.tmTheme",
// "color_scheme": "Packages/Rainmeter/Nexus (Rainmeter).tmTheme",
// "color_scheme": "Packages/Rainmeter/RainLexer.tmTheme",
// "color_scheme": "Packages/Rainmeter/Rainmeter (Light).tmTheme",

But in addition to that I chose to use a way to show the current selected skin and a way to easily switch between them.

output

Last but not least I added more error messages if something has gone horribly wrong like if you did not even install Rainmeter before using this plugin.
