Hi, 

This week I installed Textmate 2.0 beta, and I am still learning a lot. One of the things I found myself wishing for was the ability to change some features of the themes I found most to my liking. Google got me to pages such as this (https://manual.macromates.com/en/themes), referencing "Preferences → Fonts & Colors”, which I can’t find in Textmate; perhaps the manual does not apply to the version I installed?

That link applies to TextMate 1.

Is there any (GUI-based much preferred) way of building a theme (modifying an existing one) in my installation? If not, should I perhaps uninstall Textmate and install an earlier version? If so, which?  

To change a theme in TextMate 2 you can open the Bundle Editor (Bundles -> Edit Bundles…) then navigate to the Themes bundle in the left tree, click Themes in the second column, pick the theme you would like to edit in the third column and edit the theme in the bottom view, save with File -> Save. Unfortunately there’s no GUI, it’s just a plist file.
