Theme created by Jordan Fox. In Jordan’s own words:
“It’s in the same vein as the old Writeroom black/green style, but optimized for full screen on my 15-inch MacBook Pro, and uses Courier New for a bit of a typewriter look as well. I’m very happy with it and hope that others will be as well.”
The old WriteRoom look just won’t die, and that’s quite a compliment! Thanks Jordan! Click to download.
Theme created by Jeff Chapman. In his own words:
“The font used is American Typewriter, which I understand is installed by default for Mac OS X nowadays. I created the theme on a MacBook Pro 15”, so the highest screen resolution supported with the background image at 100% size is 1440 x 900px. The background image is a heavily edited version of the “Paper Leather Texture” made available on Flickr (via Creative Commons license) at the following URL: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bartiservin/3785177730/. I’ve done my best to create a theme that is easy to read, easy on the eyes and a familiar but stylish use of paper backgrounds for WriteRoom.”

We’ve heard a lot of (good-natured) grumblings regarding the change in the keyboard shortcut from ‘escape’ or ‘command+return’ to switch in and out of Full Screen Mode.
Escape key: This key is reserved by OS X to toggle autocomplete in text views. This had been a conflicting issue in WriteRoom 2, and a battle we couldn’t win in the long run.
As for command+return, it was best to go with the new OS X default behaviors. Now WriteRoom has 2 full screen modes, the current shortcuts avoid other potential conflicts with other default behaviors.
You can edit these commands yourself using the Keyboard preferences in OS X. If a particular shortcut combo doesn’t work, it may be reserved by the system.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Keyboard.
Click Keyboard Shortcuts, and then click Add (+).
Choose an application from the Application pop-up menu. If you want to set the same key combination for a menu command that appears in many applications, choose All Applications.
If the application you want to select does not appear in the list, choose Other and locate the application using the Open dialog. Some applications may not allow you to set keyboard shortcuts.
You must type the command exactly as it appears in the application menu, including ellipses and any other punctuation. An ellipsis is a special character that looks like three periods. To type an ellipsis, press Option-semicolon, or use the Character Viewer. It may be difficult to know whether the command is written in the menu with a real ellipsis or with three periods, so if one does not work, try the other.
Click in the Keyboard Shortcut field and press the key combination that you want to assign to the menu command, and then click Add. You cannot use each type of key (for example, a letter key) more than once in a key combination.
Quit the application for which you added or changed a keyboard shortcut.
Restart the application to see the keyboard shortcut in the application’s menu.
Make sure that you have both menu items specified (Enter Full Screen / Exit Full Screen) The menu time title changes based on current full screen mode, so you need to setup the shortcut for both.
