Optimize for Continual Coding

Fonts & Colors in TextMateI probably spend an average of 6 to 7 hours a business day looking at a computer screen. The majority of that time can be divided into three categories: text editor, terminal, & browser. I’m a young buck and I certainly don’t want to be ruining my eyes anytime soon (or ever for that matter). Because of this I try to stay proactive on my approach to safely staring at a monitor all day. One of the steps I have taken is to adjust the background color of TextMate.

TextMate offers color customization to the users. It comes with (about) 19 presets available and you can create your own. I never really got into color changing because I like the default colors. I did, however, adjust the background to a soft beige color RGB(197,194,178) or Hex value #C5C2B2.

You can access this setting by going to TextMate > Preferences (or the OS X Preferences shortcut ⌘+,) and click the Fonts and Colors tab.
