Like most other modern code editors, Komodo supports customizable color schemes. There is even a website dedicated to Komodo color schemes called Kolormodo. It didn't have my favorite scheme, scientifically proven Solarized, but I was able to track it down with a quick Google search.
Once I had the scheme file on disk, installing it proved trickier. The scheme selection dialog didn't provide any hints, nor did the online help system. I ended up locating an obscure folder containing all other schemes and putting the file there to make Komodo Edit recognize it. I later discovered I could have simply dragged the file and dropped it over the Komodo icon. Too bad this wasn't mentioned in the application or documentation, though it is in the marketing materials.
On a day-to-day basis, working with Komodo Edit is a pleasant experience. Its built-in FTP client lets you access remotely hosted files without having to create a project or download an entire directory tree. If Firefox is your browser of choice, you would feel right at home with Komodo. For example, the Find feature works just like the one found in recent Firefox versions, with live search and a bar along the bottom of the window.
Komodo's auto-completion feature is excellent, similar to the one found in Microsoft Visual Studio: You get a scrollable menu with completion options, rather than having to blindly tab between options. I compared it with jEdit, editing a simple snippet of CSS, and it fared significantly better; jEdit's auto-completion stopped working after a few attempts. Komodo Edit also features other amenities, such as code folding and simple text zooming using the mouse wheel.
