FYI, this is not tm4e related directly, but I just added a tm4e theme css generator for Iro defined grammars to my Iro grammar generator application ( link ). Sorry, it doesn't much help for non Iro-defined grammars, but it is quite useful if you creating a new grammar from scratch and want to prototype your theme in a debugger.

This type of theme creation tends to be tied to a particular language (if you want to create a bespoke theme around the particulars of a language) as it does not attempt to automate color allocations for all the different standard textmate tag groups - but I validated it does work with TM4E fine (I added this feature to create a better light theme due to my problems with Monokai).

A first step could be to open default themes in an editor:

and allow users to save copies.
