Nevermind, I figured out why the theme wasn’t taking effect.

I’m using Eclipse 3.4.0 and the themes are not applying. I shows Afae as the editor associated with most document types, and I’ve restarted Eclipse, but the theme’s just are not taking. Every time I go back to the theme selector it is defaulted to the first blank option.

You can't change the fonts per theme, but you can change the overall font. Not optimal, but might get you though.

Go to Window > Preferences > Appearance > Fonts And Colors > Basic > Text area? (It's the last option in that Basic tree of options). I am away from my systems so that might be off a bit. But basically you set it there and it'll change the fonts of all the editors

That was it, I didn’t have the files associated properly. (Running Ubuntu, btw) Is there a way to change the font these themes use, though? The one that’s printing is nice, but it’s not monospaced.

@ethanm If you're using windows you'll have to change the snippet inserting key stroke because windows doesn't seem to be able to tell the difference between alt+space bar and alt+shift+space bar (I think that's the main hiccup on windows anyway)

Not sure about the other things you're saying. I'd need more information to figure out what's going on. Afae is opening the files right? Meaning, the file associations for whatever your opening is using the Afae editor and not some other plugin's editor?

@stef (source code not available any more? ) I am working on putting it into a git repository then I’ll re-release. Afae does some stuff for “smart indenting” that would need to be updated to support spaces for tabs. Since I don’t use spaces for tabs, I never added that.

I love the idea of TextMate in eclipse. Having trouble getting the themes to apply or inserting the snippets, though. Double-clicking them works, but I can’t get them to expand. Any ideas?

Tested Afae on Eclipse3.3M6, works fine. :-) However, In Eclipse3.3 (as opposed to 3.2 and previous versions), the TextEditor offers the feature “insert tabs for spaces”, which now works on most Editors based on the TextEditor class, e.g. TeXlipse. For some reason, Afae Editor always inserts tabs, independent of the setting “edit tabs for spaces” in the preferences: General->Editors->Text Editors, although I think Afae Editor is also based on TextEditor (source code not available any more? )
