Great! I'll just request stuff and then it happen, I love that :)
I WANT TO KNOW:
Who uses what theme in textMate?
I use the Mac Classic theme, possibly slightly modified, but not by much.
What themes have you used from previous systems or applications? visual studio? dreamweaver? bbedit? foo.app? Do you like them?
Dreamweaver and BBedit ... and TurboPascal/TurboC back in the good old days (the DOS one with blue background and yellow text). I like Dreamweavers ability to colour forms differently, but otherwise I think it's a bit lacking. I liked BBedits HTML theme, but it was severely lacking in javascript (which I use quite a lot). I'd be quite happy with a "buffed" BBedit theme actually, now that I think about it, you sent me one once I think, switching now ... hmmm, well that was quite ok actually. Will be keeping this (instead of Mac Classic) :)
Do you like black backgrounds? Do you like colored backgrounds?
I HATE coloured backgrounds. It must be all white, or possibly just slightly grayish (at lowest 245, 245, 245) to blend in good with the other environment.
Do you hate excessive use of background colors? ...for the page? ...for individual elements?
Yes, yes and yes again just to be on the safe side. I could possibly agree to just a slight colour tint for the background, something you'd hardly notice but that would (?) be recognized unconsciously once you've gotten used to the theme.
Do you like high contrast? Do you prefer lower contrast?
Don't really have a preference.
Do you like having a bunch of different colors or would you prefer one with shades of only a few colors?
I like "bundles" of colour, say you have one hue for tag name, then you have very different hues for attributes, then again different hues for strings/constants.
What colors do you like? Please give examples.
I like blue and purple ... hehe, like apples folders (smart and otherwise).
Do you have synisthesia? Are certain elements 'supposed' to be a certain color?
I don't know why, but it feels like html-tags should be blue and strings should be not necesserily red, but in that direction.
What languages do you want to have colored?
The web stuff; html, javascript, css and php.
Do you want different languages to have different colors?
Not necessery.
Please provide example screen shots (or links to them to keep from clogging the list) if at all possible.
http://www.informatik.gu.se/~a01andy/monochrome.png It's supposed to be used in white on black (command+control+option +8), and will then be wonderfully retro-monochrome. You might think about using such reverse themes, cus sometimes I like to kick inot that mode, at least I have an idea that it's easier on the eyes when coding for long, and you don't have to look at pictures or anything. It was made mostly as an experiment, and has only two colour, but I've been thinking on expanding it with perhaps blue and yellow as well, and different hues of that.
Thank you for 'enabling' my habit ;D
Thank you for making themes.
