HERE HERE!!! I'd really like to see an effort to develop consistency 
across syntaxes as well.

I agree, although I have a proclivity for the dark background. My 
proposal is that we create a LIGH & DARK version for all syntaxes that 
are consistent across bundles AND some centralized way to edit them 
that MAINTAINS that consistency. I know this is possible I just have NO 
idea how to do it.

Please do. Let's stir up the discussion on this. While I believe the 
icon discussion is relevant, it had little do do with the application's 
ease of use. Syntax color consitancy, however, could increase 
Textmate's usability for those of us who commonly switch between 
syntaxes.
