For some reason the selected tab on TextMate is almost un-noticeable, I really cannot make it out, they all look the same to me. When I switch tab I notice it changing color, so I guess it’s very very very slightly different, but that doesn’t help much.
I’ve been having this problem for a while, but IIRC it worked fine some times ago — I’ve no idea what happened to trigger this change.
TextMate 1.5.10, OSX 10.6.8
Any idea?
Your screenshot looks normal to me.
Check your monitor’s “brightness” and “contrast” settings, and possibly your color profile (System Preferences → Displays → Color). On a flat-panel display, there may be a setting which will over-brighten the input signal, causing the top end of the range (light gray to white) to be clipped, so that it is all white (just like overexposure in a camera). There is no good reason to do this ordinarily, especially with a digital input signal, so you should adjust the settings to avoid clipping.
Here’s an image of a black-to-white gradient with a gray border. If a large portion of the left end looks flat white, then you are having that problem.
