I don't at all like the default colorings on Mac OS X, but I love them on Ubuntu. What config files govern these things? I'm hoping I can just copy the relevant files from Ubuntu onto Mac OS X.

I'm running emacs 24 out of homebrew. Is emacs 22 important to you? It's quite old.

Concerning that, I don't know how to build emacs without X support, and since I prefer to use it in the terminal, I'm stuck with what I have. Do you know how to build it with nox?

brew install --cocoa --HEAD --use-git-head emacs

Assuming you have the dev libraries available to build it with X support, then you can use `emacs -nw` to run it in the terminal, and `alias emacs='emacs -nw'` in your shell profile to make that default behaviour.

You could also try TextMate (http://macromates.com/) - it's the absolute best editor out there.

I migrated from TextMate to emacs a while back. Two major versions of emacs have come out with features I use -- many of which you simply can't do in TM. Your opinion is unrelated to this question, though.

I have to agree, I also moved from TextMate to Emacs. Out the box, Emacs can appear to be a lesser beast than TextMate, but if your aim is to create a more TextMate like editor from Emacs, it's pretty easy... however, to create a more Emacs like editor from TextMate... is impossible.

A:
Get color-theme.el
The color themes which are included aren't as nice as the TextMate themes, however you can now generate random color themes using Sweyla's web based code color generator...
I've modified a web based theme editor to allow you to edit an existing theme.
example themes here: http://jasonm23.github.com/
(the original editor for reference and props - http://alexpogosyan.com/color-theme-creator/ )
Google for TextMate theme emacs and you can also find, Midnight and Blackboard converted to Emacs color-themes.
(Updated: added proper links for other tools.)
