I brightened up some of the darker html stuff.

That looks a bit better. I also noticed that different tags are
colored differently - <span>'s are one color, div's are another (gray
with very light gray <>'s)

Check it out with the xhtml 1.0 strict language.
block level tags are gray, inline tags are brown, meta tags are purple, form and form related tags are blue, etc...

I also still see that the colors for Elements:
 meta.group.braces
 meta.environment.list  - .list 6

are almost impossible to see - very very dark characters on a dark background.

The view in the list is actually pretty deceptive.
You'll notice a slash through the color in the color-well. That means that those colors are translucent. So they only subtly effect the existing color of whatever they're applied to.
You'd have to actually view a snippet of code with those scopes to see what it looks like.

You can see a screenshot of the BETA version of this theme with XML, HTML, Markdown, Ruby, Javascript, CSS, Python, Slate, C, C++ & Perl.
I also added specific coloring for LaTeX and some other stuff since then and tweaked a bunch of minor stuff.

Otherwise, very nice.

I hope more people have suggestions on how I could make it better.
If it looks ugly in any language i'd love to see a screenshot and maybe a code snippet so that I can fix the theme.

Thanks
