Thanks for the tip. I had this problem on a customer's PC and it did keep me from getting german search results. However, there were still problems. It turns out their HOSTS file had several bogus entries redirecting Google to rogue IP's and that was causing them to keep getting reinfected with viruses and spyware.

Be careful, if you're getting weird behavior like Google searches going through google.de, check your Winsock, check DNS, and check your HOSTS file.

I'm from the UK, so I just replaced all mentions of "google.com" with "google.co.uk" for the same result (e.g. results in English) plus it makes more sense for European searchers than the .com results which are more US-centric.

Also, I'm using Kubuntu/Ubuntu/Linux, so the google.xml file was in
/usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/
just in case anyone else comes here with the same requirements.

This page doesn't contain section "TextMate Theme".
Anyway, I'm looking for something similar for XCode & TextWrangler.

-R.

The theme is downloaded from http://railscasts.com/about - my favorite Ruby on Rails screencasts site. Check out under "TextMate Theme" section on that page.

Mike
What is the color schema in the editor ?
Seems like it's a Zenburn theme from vim
