An old script that I used to change the colour scheme of BBEdit, based on John Gruber’s BBColors tool. This script is no longer necessary with BBEdit 10. You can, however, download John’s colour schemes and copy them to your “~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Color Schemes/” folder and then load them from the Text Colors section of BBEdit’s preferences.
tell application "System Events" set bbOpen to (name of processes) contains "BBEdit" end tell if bbOpen is true then tell application "BBEdit" to quit end if set btnSet to {"Cancel", "Light", "Dark"} set prompt to "Do you want light or dark colours?" set dlgResult to display dialog prompt buttons btnSet default button {"Dark"} set btn to button returned of dlgResult if btn is "Light" then set colourFileName to "Defaults" else if btn = "Dark" then set colourFileName to "Gruber Dark" end if set shellScript to "bbcolors -load " & quote & colourFileName & quote do shell script shellScript tell application "BBEdit" activate end tell
