Now, personally speaking, I find this very weird indeed. But some people might like the idea, so I thought it was worth mentioning.

You’re probably already aware of TextMate, which like most text editors eschews a lot of the user interface stuff you see in other apps. There’s a window, with text in it, and there are many many commands you can use, but there’s not much to see: there’s no toolbar.

SuperMate doesn’t add a toolbar, it’s more like adding a skin. It tinkers with TextMate’s panels and tabs and a few other things like the web preview window, and just Leopardizes them a little.

Personally, I think TextMate’s just fine as it is. But if you’d like to see it a bit more, um, purple, maybe this will be of interest.

    that one up there? It’s not mine. That’s the sample screenshot from the SuperMate home page. My desktop is much more dull.
