How can I install this theme http://simplyhacking.com/spacedust-xcode-theme-for-xcode-4.html on XCode 4.3.2?
Download that Spacedust.dvtcolortheme and save it under:
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes
It might be that this folder doesn't exist yet if you never copied an existing Colortheme in the preferences of Xcode. In that case: simply create that directory.
Then restart Xcode.
I wanted to add one more little information that after adding the theme to FontAndColorThemes folder and restarting xcode4, go to Fonts & Colors.
you should see it under :
Preferences -> Fonts & Colors.
select your theme and enjoy the theme.

ThemeInstaller is an easy app for installing themes in Xcode.
Having ThemeInstaller all you need to do is to open an .dvtcolortheme, or go to codethemes.net and press "install" under any of your choice.
In Xcode you need to press "cmd" + "," and there you have all of your installed themes.

How to change Xcode Theme?
I don't want to use the basic theme anymore.
I'm using imac, and I want the exact way.
First, you have to download the theme. Only '.xccolortheme' format files are possible.
If you search "xcode them download" on Google, you'll find a lot.
You must enter the terminal and enter the command.
cd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes/
mkdir FontAndColorThemes
open .
Put the downloaded file in this folder.
Open Xcode and enter Editor -> Theme to see your downloaded theme.
Just go to the preferences from the the Xcode menu (command+,) and use the Themes tab. So you can set any kind of style you like (predefined, downloaded or completly custom)
Xcode > Preferences > Fonts & Colors > Plus Button > Duplicate Theme > Name The New Theme > Update The New Scheme > Close Preferences > Coffee & Code > Kill Xcode > Launch Xcode > Preferences > Fonts & Colors > New Theme Missing!?!
Xcode Version 9.2 (9C40b)
I cannot reproduce the problem you've described, the theme I created was preserved after killing and re-launching Xcode. Interestingly, my custom theme was moved to the bottom of the list, maybe that's the case for you as well.
If your theme legitimately went missing, it can be because of a software or a hardware bug/fault. What you can do is make a backup from your .xccolortheme file before quitting Xcode to make sure that it survives the relaunch.
For this, you should navigate to
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes/
and make a copy of the file you want to preserve. If it ever disappears, you can move the copy back to this location.
I had this problem in Xcode 10. It was caused by the name I gave the theme: AI/ML. I headed to ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes/, the directory in which the themes are stored, as pointed to by Tamás Sengel.
In FontAndColorThemes, there was a directory named AI, containing the theme, with the name ML. I moved the theme one level up, deleted the directory, and renamed the theme file. I then had to restart Xcode again, to get the theme back on the list.
Xcode read / not as part of the name, but as a separator between a directory and the file. Xcode should've managed this situation, but as it doesn't, don't name your files this way; at least I won't.
I could duplicate the xccolortheme file without a problem. The issue was permissions. It had the wrong permissions! What the deuce!
My Sublime Text 3 ( but also applies to ST2 as I experienced the same issue before I switched to ST3 ) requires restart for any settings changes to take effect. This happens on a Mac Mini in the office but not on my Macbook Pro ( which is pretty much the same setup ).
I do sync settings over Dropbox by symlinking Application Support/Sublime Text 3 folder to Dropbox. However, I can recall it happening even before I did that.
Any ideas how to make it apply settings changes immediately?
First, make sure you're running the latest build of ST3. Remember, this is beta software, and things break/change/get fixed again from version to version, so it may just be an issue with your particular build.
I suspect that this has something to do with Dropbox, as settings changes should be applied as soon as you save the settings file in almost all cases. For example, changing the theme should happen immediately. To test if it's Dropbox-related, unlink your current symlink to ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3 and make it a regular directory, then copy all your settings over and try to change something. If it applies right away, then it's an issue with Dropbox.
You can install the package called 'Restart' and then just restart from the admin tab.
Check the package to restart sublime text. It is just perfect https://github.com/yedderson/SublimeRestart
In Mac:
"Cmd + Shift + P"
Enter: "Install Packages"
Enter: "Restart"
Now, you should see the "Restart" option under "File" in me main menu.
I am trying to locate Icon Composer, which was supposedly downloaded as part of Xcode, however I can't find it, neither in applications nor with the spotlight.
Any ideas where it might be, or if I have to download it separately? If so, where from? I tried looking for it in the App Store, but nothing found.
Edit: I am using Xcode 4.3.2 if that helps.
Newer Versions
As of Xcode 4.4, Icon Composer is no longer bundled with the IDE. However, you can still download the program from Apple's developer downloads page (developer.apple.com/downloads/)
Search for "Graphics Tools" and download the latest version of the tools, which is currently the version for Xcode 5.1
Older Versions
In Xcode 4.3.1 and up Icon Composer can be located in this directory.
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/
In your applications folder right click on Xcode and click "Show Package Contents."
EDIT: to make this answer as complete as possible.
However, In Xcode versions 4.2 and below, Icon composer can still be located in the following directory.
/Developer/Applications/Utilities
And of course, as Dave DeLong said below, Icon Composer can also be accessed through Xcode by navigating to Xcode Menu >> Open Developer Tool >> Icon Composer.
MDT is correct that the application is now bundled inside of Xcode.app, but there's an easier way to get to it:
Icon Composer cannot be used to create icons compatible with Retina macs and the app should no-longer be used. It is no-longer bundled with recent versions of Xcode.
Instead, you create a directory "foobar.iconset" and fill it with png images at the sizes you need, and then drag that into the image well in Xcode - which will then create a .icns file at build time.
Currently, the png files you should create are (none are required but all are recommended):
icon_16x16.png
icon_16x16#2x.png
icon_32x32.png
icon_32x32#2x.png
icon_128x128.png
icon_128x128#2x.png
icon_256x256.png
icon_256x256#2x.png
icon_512x512.png
icon_512x512#2x.png
You can also create the icns file manually with the iconutil command line tool.

Have you looked into...
/Developer/Applications/Utilities
Mine is there.
I'd like the default theme of Xcode but for TextMate.
Is there anyone who knows where I could find this?
I just created it, check it out.
You could always just make it yourself, duplicate one of the TextMate themes and then apply the font styles from Xcode to the textmate theme. It won't take too long and will let you fix the bits that you think are broken!
Since I couldn't get Paolino or El's themes to install in TextMate 2.0, I've created a new Xcode Default theme from scratch here:
https://github.com/jrodatus/xcodedefault-tmtheme-ng
Installation
Theme extension must be ".tmTheme" (exactly)
Double-click to install in TextMate, select "Themes" bundle when prompted
View->Theme->Xcode Default
View->Font->Show Fonts...: Menlo Regular 10.3 or 10.5
TextMate->Preferences->Projects->Open files on single click
Show file browser on: Left side
Extra
To change the selection color from orange, change the hex color code after the "selection" key in the tmTheme file.
To suppress tab creation when clicking on a file in the browser:
Method 1) Hold the Option key every time you click on a file.
Method 2) Clone the TextMate repository and edit textmate/Frameworks/DocumentWindow/src/DocumentWindowController.mm, replacing the occurences of OakIsAlternateKeyOrMouseEvent() with YES, and rebuild.
Method 3) If you don't want to install the build prerequisites, you can patch the binary directly. See GitHub README.
