Thomas,
I really like the work you have done so far on say the iLife theme, also the Brilliance beta seems cool, although I will need to test it if it is useful for work ;) I have never had a non-white background yet.
I am looking forward to your theming-howtos. Will you cover just the theme parts or will you include some stuff about the language grammar/ markup side of things as well?

…who just figured out that combining two selectors in themes with transparent colors makes for very cool effects.
Thankyou, thank you much!
I haven't decided about the specifics of the tutorials yet. Anyone have any suggestions?
It can't be soon as I'm in the middle of a crazy project. But I did steal away some time to do the brilliance theme, so you never know.
I had to switch to all black background. I just got a really bright monitor and i like to work at night. And I'm rather fond of the whole not-being-blind thing.

I never thought I could work with a dark background, now I can't work with a white :)
Suggestions on a tutorial would probably be just a slight cover of scopes so people who don't know about it get the general idea, then a solid walkthrough where you begin with a template theme and use the getScope to find the scope and then just fill in colours.
So basically, I think the best thing you can do is supply a theme template and then just show users how to fill it in.

ps I'll be using the brilliance dull beta for a while to see how it turns out ds

If you want to go a bit more advanced, maybe on a later tutorial, you could mention how using scopes "text.latex meta.group.braces meta.group.braces keyword.operator.braces" and "text.latex meta.group.braces meta.group.braces meta.group.braces keyword.operator.braces" you could get different nesting levels of braces in LaTeX to be colored differently. Makes things much easier to read. :)
