Installing a New Theme
To install a new theme, select one of the .tmTheme links listed below, download it to your desktop and double-click on the file. This will place it in ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Themes, at which point the new theme will appear in the list found in Preferences → Fonts & Colors. This will also set it as the active theme. (Once the theme is installed, you may remove the .tmTheme from your desktop.)

A refreshing, easy theme with cool tones. Very good for working with code for long periods!
Check out my new theme, "Made of Code"
Daltonism
Daltonism is a Textmate theme that helps pair programmers with different color perception work together on the same document, on the same screen, at the same time.
There are broadly three main categories of color blindness (or Dichromacy), Deuteranopia, Protanopia, and Tritanopia. The principle design goal for the Daltonism theme was to provide good contrast for each of these color perceptions, along with what might be called normal human vision.
Dawn (A reversal of Twilight) by David Powers
Django by Jannis Leidel
Dominion Day
by Nathan Duran
Dominion Day is another low contrast theme which puts color theory to work for the maintenance coder. Analogous shades coax your eyes into focusing on the parts of your markup which tend to have the greatest visual impact for the end user. Sure, those DIV tags are important, but once typed you rarely need visit them again. Their attributes might be edited slightly more frequently, so they command a bit more attention, with executable code and the text which is actually drawn to the screen being the most visually pronounced elements. Absolutely no bolds, italics or underlines.
Created primarily for use with HTML, CSS and PHP, but JavaScript, Ruby and Python look OK, too. Python could be a lot better, but the current bundle just isn't very comprehensive in its grammar definitions, so there it is.
HTML:
Ruby:
Definitely not for use by people who hate purple or work in brightly lit rooms.
eclips3.media (ECLM)
by liquid @ eclips3.media
Advantages:
- Real code stands out, comments are "hidden" behind still readable
- Functional parts are highlighted (such as functions)
- Dark theme which does not annoy eyes after much of hours - like too bright themes
- Use it and you will notice a lot more.
Emacs
Colors sampled directly from the default emacs theme (when the background is set to black, of course). Transparency and "Textmate Purple" current-line highlighting added because I couldn't help myself.
Erebus by Andrew Fricke
Erebus is a warm theme with an autumn'ish feel. Mainly tested for use with PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but should work fine with most languages.
I was working on a pack to fit the seasons, but haven't come up with anything other than this theme that I'm happy with. Maybe in the future :]

Tango Theme

Tek by Christian Rosentreter
A conversion of the colour settings of the 'Unix Shell' bundle provided by older TextMate versions, hence it's maybe less useful for anything else than editing bash scripts. I just liked the colours. Credit has go to Chris Thomas who defined them initialy.
Texari by marios buttner
This theme is useful for work on Textpattern, XHTML, CSS and Javascript..
Because it is cloned from the Twilight Theme, it can be used in multi lang docs quite well....
