You can easily pick apart the innards of the TextMate.app package and modify or replace the images and window layouts (nibs).

With all these GUI Replacements, you can easily pick and choose which resources you want to replace in order to get the icons from one and the web preview window from another or the tabs from one and the colors from another.

Enjoy!

SuperMate: Leopardized TextMate

by Alexander Atallah

• Readability and gradients (when an item is clicked) in Select Bundle/Symbol/File
• Web Preview:
  • Default fonts are now those used by Safari to ease web development
  • Appearance: buttons improved, textured
  • "Show options" moved to toolbar
• Document scrollers hide automatically in text views
• Execute Command Panel: HUD black interface, buttons improved, autocomplete of commands
• Find in Project: gradients, readability
• Information Panels use utility panels
• Go to Line is now an HUD panel
• Project Window:
  • Appears like the Apple source lists, with gradients on each file
  • Tab Bar filled with a purple TextMate gradient
  • Tabs Redesigned: square corners, inactive tabs fade into background, highlighting active tab
• Bundle Editor:
  • Edit view has been split into a tabbed view in order to make more room for the editing field
  • Items in source list are more condensed to allow for a broader view.
  • Gradients over active TM automation items, blue Apple source background
  • Nicer buttons!
• And more! See here for more screenshots and the Square Tabs optional skin.
