Please help me, because unless I'm losing my mind. My text in TextMate suddenly looks a lot lighter than it should.
Screenshot: http://cl.ly/5kVW
I fired up TextMate yesterday and I noticed that suddenly the text was a little hard to read. So I ran to TextMate preferences to see if I had accidentally un-bolded all text. But I can only find it on a per-theme-basis. Text looks light to me across all themes.
I even looked through the TextMate manual but I can't seem to find anything.
Am I losing my mind?
Found screenshot of what it should look like with this same theme: http://www.monokai.nl/blog/wp-content/asdev/monokaiTheme.gif
I've been seeing the same thing lately. I haven't been able to determine the cause or reliably reproduce the bug, but perhaps it is related to the most recent update (I'm using the "cutting-edge" build 1631). I believe I began seeing the issue after the update (mid-March).
Sometimes restarting TextMate has fixed it. Sometimes I cleared the font cache, too.
As Allan noted in the ticket I filed, this is due to a bug in OS 10.6 with third-party external LCD panels:
In that case the problem is likely with the automatic selection of font smoothing (based on display), see http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090828224632809 for more details and potential workaround.
The reason restarting TextMate sometimes worked for me (and you, apparently), is because we restarted it without the external monitor attached. Running the defaults command in that Mac OS X Hints article fixes it properly.
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2
Textmate disables Apple's particular flavor of font-smoothing with dark themes running on retina displays. If you want to opt-in to the Apple version, change Textmate's settings in the terminal with:
defaults write com.macromates.TextMate.preview fontSmoothing 1

I frequently switch between black and white themes of WebStorm when working in different day/night light conditions. One thing that always annoys me is that I have to manually close terminal in order for it to switch colors.
That's the only part of the interface that doesn't update automatically. Looks like a bug to me.
Is there any way to work around this issue?
Known issue, please follow IDEA-170747 for updates; unfortunately no workarounds exist for this issue - except for re-opening terminal tabs after switching UI theme

ProblemI've noticed recently that the Editor in Xcode seems to periodically scroll-up on its own. Which I, at least, find very annoying.
I've looked at a couple of other postings:
Xcode scrolls text while typing
XCode auto-scroll when pressing Command after a text selectionBut neither of them seem to provide a solution for me, as I'm not pressing the Command key and I'm not using multiple fingers on the touch-pad.
It seems to happen most frequently when I'm working on code near the bottom of the file, I haven't been able to narrow down the cause-and-effect scenario more than that just yet.
Query
Has anyone else noticed this?
Has anyone figured out a way to stop it?
Is there a reasonable way to report this to Apple? There doesn't seem to be an Xcode section on the http://www.apple.com/feedback/ site.
Try to disable your XCode theme if you have one. We ended up with that bug by doing this trick!
For XCode 10.1 changing the font size to 12 for the selected theme did the trick.
Surely, this is documented somewhere. I for some reason or another cannot find the answer for this.
Most people are wanting to make their terminals completely transparent, I however want the effects where you see the desktop background. I am certain that this is default for gnome. What is this effect called and How can I get this in XFCE?
I was told that installing something like Terminator would resolve this but its just the true transparency which looks messy with a ton of windows and stuff going on.
Here is an example of what I am wanting for XFCE.

Thanks in advance !
The simple way could be opening your xfce4-terminal and going to Edit->Preferences->Appearance->Background and then chose a Background image to show instead of a Solid Color or Transparent. In example.
In the Xubuntu version that I have solved this issue accidentally. I had to go to manage settings menu -> Window Manager Tweaks -> Compositor(tab)
and uncheck Enable Display Compositing
Now I can have the terminal just show the desktop background instead of every thing that is messy behind it.
I've been looking for a way to implement a global shortcut for my app that would work like shortcut recorder. The problem is I haven't found one that works with the current version of xcode, every single one I've found throws an error in xcode about legacy stuff. The only one i've found that is any good in Lion is DDHotKey, which does exactly what I want, but it has the downside that the user doesn't record the shortcut in a nifty smart textfield sort of thing, its a preset shortcut.
Can anyone tell me how to add a smart textfield to DDHotKet, or a fix for SR in Lion? It seems that for ShortcutRecorder the specific problem has to do with the actual textfield in IB using old plug-ins, so I can't use the text field (which is what I really want). I've looked up a whole bunch of different frameworks but they all have outdated stuff. To be honest even if I found a fix for running SR I still have no idea what to do since it seems to be waaay more complicated than all the others i've found.
This fork of ShortcutRecorder builds in Xcode 4:
https://github.com/youknowone/shortcutrecorder
It also has a nice demo project that shows how to use the API.
Since I'm working on an 11" Air I was wondering if there are any good code editors yet that take advantage of Lion's fullscreen mode (or whatever it's called).
Please share if you have found such code editors, thanks! I'm writing mostly JS, CSS & HTML. And a little PHP.
Cheers!
You might want to look at BBEdit, or its freeware younger brother TextWrangler.
You can give Maximizer a try and then use any code editor you like. http://chpwn.com/apps/maximizer.html
Just mentioning this for the sake of posterity.
Or you can wait for the next release of TextMate, sometime in early 2053. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Sublime Text is my favorite editor. It is available of all platforms (windows, mac, linux), has great plugins and comes with "full-screen" and "distraction-free" editing mode, which will be great for your current setup.
