As I was doing an overview of the TextMate product for my tip yesterday, I noticed TextMate offers a nice collection of user submitted themes. Some of these I really liked (i.e Fake and Plastic Code Wrap) and would love to be able to use them in my text editor of choice, Notepad++. With the help of the “Textmate theme to Notepad++ styler” tool, this is not only possible, it is incredibly easy.

This tool, quite simply, takes in a TextMate style source and outputs a style source for Notepad++. For instructions, take a look at this post which walks you through the entire process.

I haven’t had a chance to get to this yet, but I am going to be giving this a shot as I find black backgrounds much easier on the eyes.
