TextEditDark For Mac

TextEdit is the default OS X text editor that allows you to quickly process documents without having to deal with complicated configurations. The utility integrates elementary text editing tools, yet it does not come with any customization options when it comes to appearance.

TextEditDark fixes that by allowing you to make use of the 1.9 version of the TextEdit application while applying a dark theme. The TextEdit version employed by the developer has been determined by the source code availability.

Naturally, TextEditDark acts as a completely different application, so you can still keep the TextEdit version that comes embedded with the operating system without encountering any issues.

On the other hand, even though the TextEditDark goes for a dark, slightly transparent interface theme, you cannot adjust its appearance in any way. Moreover, the utility does not feature minimizing or maximizing buttons, but you can resize the window manually.

Keep in mind that TextEditDark preserves all the tools and functions available in TextEdit, so you can still open multiple documents at the same time, revert to previous versions, attach files or links, convert the content to plain text, export to PDF, and so on.

Besides the interface change, TextEditDark also includes two new options in the Preferences window that have the potential to streamline your activity, yet using them is entirely optional.

With the help of small check boxes, you get to decide if you want the TextEditDark windows to stay on top of all other apps, or if the utility should automatically quit when the last document window closes.

To sum up, TextEditDark offers you the possibility to use a familiar text editor featuring a darker theme that might be more in tune with your desktop's appearance. However, keep in mind that TextEditDark does not rely on the latest TextEdit source code.

The TextEditDark custom version of the TextEdit app brings to the table small adjustments when it comes to window management that might slightly reduce the need for repetitive actions.
