Ask HN: How do you customize TextMate?
I recently got a macbook pro, and got TextMate. Will be doing some RoR development, and am a little disappointed by the stock display styles that come built-in with TextMate.
I noticed that the theme I always see in code snippets all over the web, typically dark/black background with pastel color fonts (e.g. the one on http://www.macruby.org/ right now) are not installed by default.
The Sunburst theme is the closest I have seen, but it doesn't quite hit home.
Firstly, does anyone know where I can get that TextMate theme that is so popular ?
Secondly, what other suggestions do you guys have for good themes that are easy on the eyes?
P.S. I know I can customize it manually, but that's a pain to do.
Please help.
- yan 17y agoI think the TextMate theme that's popular in webcasts is Vibrant Ink: http://alternateidea.com/blog/articles/2006/01/03/textmate-vibrant-ink-theme-and-prototype-bundle http://alternateidea.com/blog/articles/2006/01/03/textmate-v... I use a clone of it for vim called Vivid Chalk: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1891 http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1891
- mgrouchy 17y agoThere are a bunch of free TextMate themes here http://wiki.macromates.com/Themes/UserSubmittedThemes http://wiki.macromates.com/Themes/UserSubmittedThemes assuming the theme that yan linked isn't the one you are looking for.
- marcamillion 17y agoThanks Yan & Mgrouchy. The one that Yan posted was exactly what I was looking for, but I will definitely continue looking through those UserSubmittedThemse that you posted mgrouchy.
