I thought it might be interesting to see what themes people find best for their various tasks. I do a lot of writing in Markdown and Multimarkdown an like using Sunburst for that (my past favorite for markdown was twilight). When I am writing html code, I prefer slate.

Modified Twilight for everything. I also have XCode and Kate (under KDE) set up to look the same :)

I only use All Hallow's Eve. A bit enhanced with the things I added with time.

For a while there i was still using iLife05 a bit for some things. But, I can't use anything other than Brilliance Black at this point.
There are just too many subtle things that i haven't bothered to put into any of the other themes. Since I'm right-brained, the little visual nuances drastically improve my mental parsing of all the crazy stuff and things.
I'll probly end up making a Brilliance White theme sooner or later.

I have to say, while I like Brilliance Black, the problem is, on HTML (or rhtml) pages, the < and > characters in tags are just way too dim - they pretty much disappear. And the tag text too is a little on the dim side.
I tend to bounce around from theme to theme, but usually end up mostly on the default Mac classic theme.
(Hmm. Unless something is wrong, I just looked through the theme definitions - there's a whole block (labeled text.latex) that are just about unreadable!)

Try the latest version 4742. 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)
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.
Otherwise, very nice.

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...

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

I'm using a modified version of Cobalt for everything: Markdown, LaTeX, HTML, CSS. I changed the background back to the Slate-green, since the original is too dark for me. Oliver
Think you could post that perhaps, I really like that theme.

Generally I do not like black backgrounds (but I do like a grey) but for Rails (ERb) nothing beats All Hallow’s Eve.
I recently noticed that Dawn (the reversed Twilight) colors the background of markup.raw and this is a very nice cue for Markdown files! All themes should do that! :)
