Notes

Note that Emacs syntax highlighting is managed differently to SublimeText / TextMate. Various Emacs modes provide additional highlighing support, but tm2deftheme (currently) only maps to core font-lock faces. So while things won't look like a one-to-one copy, the results are still pretty good.

Linum, fringe and modeline colours are derived from the base foreground and background colors. Support for Rainbow Delimiters is provided automatically.

The imported foreground colors which constrast most from the background are averaged, from this average colour, 9 tint colors are generated and assigned to the rainbow-delimiters-depth-n-face collection.

I'll be adding additional support for js3-mode, git-gutter, flyspell, flymake, flycheck, isearch and more.

Demo

See for yourself, here's a handful of converted themes, shown in their original format (here rendered by the excellent http://tmtheme-editor.herokuapp.com/) and then shown in Emacs 24 after conversion.

Dependencies

Ruby 1.9 or later required.

Development, clone and run bundle install in the project folder.

Contribution / Development

If you'd like to contribute, the best place to do so is in mapping SublimeText / TextMate scopes to Emacs faces. Although any issue posting, bug fixing, feature pull-requests, etc. are welcome.

Avoid using test.sh and install-generated-themes.el, they're not tuned for general use.

PLEASE NOTE: test.sh will forceably remove all folders matching ~/.emacs.d/elpa/*-theme-140*.
