# kfg textmate themes req 2010-05-26\_07-13-05

You can keep your seniors, Ron. But, thanks for the request.
Above are screengrabs of the three [Textmate][] themes that have
been my go-tos over time.
- **Twilight** ([built-in][], I believe) had been the undisputed
champ since Christ was a corporal (and as I use it again right this
sec, I'm tempted to go back).
- [**IR Black**][] has been my theme for a few months, and I do
like it. It's got TONS of elements, so (time permitting) it'd be
easy to hack on
- Like pretty much everything [subtleGradient][] makes, I also
really like [**Brilliance Dull**][] (and its sibling,
[**Brilliance Black**][]). Both are super-useful and lovely,
especially it you're a serious coders.[^1]
Biggest problem I run into with many themes is that, since I spend
pretty much all day in [MultiMarkdown][], I obviously favor themes
that work well with my preferred [flavor][] of [Markdown][]. And,
for whatever reason, I guess a lot of the elements in MMD just
aren't "caught" by many themes. So, there's often not the level and
kind of syntax highlighting I'd find useful.
Of course, I have to mention that MMD's daddy, [Fletcher Penney][],
was kind enough to build us fanboys a [MultiMarkdown theme][] (zip)
as part of his [terrific MMD bundle][], but, unfortunately, for my
own needs...
- It's *so* limited to MMD that it leaves most very other kind of
TM doc looking like vanilla plain txt; and
- I just can't roll with light-background themes. My eyes are
just too old.
Obviously, if any of you'all *are* theme-fishing, the best place to
start is probably on the [UserSubmittedThemes][] page of
[the Textmate wiki][].
FWIW, I really try not to obsess over stuff like themes for text
editors, the style and color of my [bash prompt][], or what have
you. But, on the other hand, I do spend a *lot* of my day staring
at this junk, so it really pays to find anything that will make
that environment more pleasant and headache-free.
