| Beginners Guide: Programming Cocoa for OS X |
MacApper
| A few months back a friend asked me if I wanted to help work on a
small application for OS X. He figured because I had a long history of
Windows based programming I would have no trouble making the
transition to writing apps for Mac. Well he was wrong for obvious
reasons and I also found (unlike coding Windows apps) that the journey
to bring my skills up to par for Mac, was a greatly rewarding, yet
somewhat convoluted experience.
| Daring Fireball: BBColors
1.0
| One feature still lacking in BBEdit which I’ve wanted for years is a
way to easily save and switch between different text coloring schemes.
BBEdit’s text colors have been configurable ever since syntax coloring
appeared in BBEdit 4.0 in 1996, but there’s no means to save or change
them en masse. Nor is there any way to share color schemes with other
users.
So, I’ve put together a little command-line tool called BBColors; it
lets you save, load, and share text color preference schemes for BBEdit
and TextWrangler.
