In the Bundle Editor, click File -> New -> Theme -> Create. Note that copying the file on disk is not always a good idea because each bundle item has a UUID that needs to be unique. This is automatically generated when a new item is created.</div><br class=""><div class="">

Unfortunately there’s no GUI, it’s just a plist file.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-- <br class="">/Jacob Carlborg</div><br class=""></div><br class="">_______________________________________________<br class="">textmate mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:textmate@lists.macromates.com" class="">textmate@lists.macromates.com</a><br class=""><a href="http://lists.macromates.com/listinfo/textmate" class="">http://lists.macromates.com/listinfo/textmate</a></div></div><br class=""></div></div><br class="">_______________________________________________<br class="">textmate mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:textmate@lists.macromates.com" class="">textmate@lists.macromates.com</a><br class="">http://lists.macromates.com/listinfo/textmate</div></blockquote></div><br class=""></body></html>
