Answer 1

Just installing it isn't enough, you have to also tell SublimeText to use it.

Either do

a) Ctrl - Shift - P , type "Babel" and select Set Syntax: Javascript(Babel)

or

b) Go to the menu and do View->Syntax->Open all with current extension as...->Babel->Javascript(Babel) .

Answer 2

You could follow the below mentioned steps:-

Setting babel as the default syntax

To set it as the default syntax for a particular extension:

1. Open a file with that extension,
2. Select View from the menu,
3. Then Syntax -> Open all with current extension as... -> Babel -> JavaScript (Babel).
4. Repeat this for each extension (eg: .js and .jsx).

Setting a Color Scheme

Babel comes bundled with Next and Monokai from Benvie/JavaScriptNext.tmLanguage. Select one from Preferences -> Color Scheme -> Babel
