It fits emacs very well in that regard.

#23I kept clicking on parts of the code hoping it'd automatically select the type of element I had clicked on so I could change its color. Looks like I'm the only one, though, judging from the other comments.

These icons look pretty straight forward.
There is a nice File, Edit... menu that goes along with it.
Close your eyes and pretend the rest of the complexity doesn't exist and it will be no different than using Notepad, etc. When you want more, open your eyes a little.

#27Maybe there's a way to do it that I missed, but it would be helpful if when I select a color from the palette, I could see the Hex/RGB value for the color and set it from that as well. That way when I want to set two elements to the same color, I wouldn't have to wait and change it in the config file (which defeats the whole purpose of this application).
Otherwise, great idea!

#28Where were you when I was hand-coding my current Emacs theme??
Great work!
My only suggestion is that you could display the lisp code for the theme below the code window so I could both see it update in real time and be able to export it without clicking the button.
Surely you don't have to implement this because it was likely a free-time project and it is infinitely better than anything I've ever seen that tries to accomplish this, (because I haven't seen anything that tried to do this and when you divide by zero, well...) but you asked for reviews and that is my sole critique.

#29This is great. By the way, do you (or anyone else) know of a good tutorial/guide for creating color combinations that go well together? UPDATE: One thing that would be nice is to be able to drop a pre-existing color theme in and then tweak it with the color picker.
I have a soft spot in my heart for this one.

There are several schemes to choose from (complimentary, contrasting, triadic, etc) and knobs to adjust. You get 5 colors to look at next to each other and 18 along the same lines that go together. The input is in HSV/RGB and every output color comes in hex.

#30Other idea: Keep track of other people color theme.
But, yes.. I use vim and textmate and I'm a bit jealous :) Good job!
