Re: [TextMate] Why is all the background colours dark ????

It's a hang over from the olden days. Nothing more :-)

Dark on light is way more readable although this does not necessarily mean black on white. A pale grey background works for me.

Hi all,

I just downloaded the PHP & Smarty syntax bundle, and found that it too was based on a dark background. Can someone please explain this seeming 'obsession' with dark backgrounds when 99% of all other apps are the basic white background with black/coloured text ???

What is it that I don't get about it ??? (I personally find it very hard to read text that way.)

Kind regards,

Mats
