if i use a dark theme then links in Eclipse-"quick fix" or in i.e. Eclipse->Preferences->General->Editor (the three 'see... "File Associaton"|"Content Types"|"Appearance"'-links) are unreadable.
On this image the links i am talking about are cyan on grey:
I found a solution for Windows/XP:
The hover uses the same colors as the on your system. On Windows you
can change that via Display settings > Appearance > Advanced: ToolTip.
The link color is the one used in your browser (IE on Windows).
However, i need a solution for Linux (XFCE 4.8.1/GTK)
I checked/tested all settings of Eclipse and i found no setting for this link-color. It seems to be a system-setting (GTK), so i already tried to add this to gtkrc:
style "default" {
GtkWidget::link-color = "#ffffff"
}
class "GtkWidget" style "default"
but this did not change the link color in Eclipse.
I hope you can help - thanks!

Use the colors menu (the first entry in the picture):
And redefine the tooltip background color:
Then enjoy the readable popups:
Install gnome-color-chooser and customize the tooltip color as described here:
http://www.devsniper.com/black-tooltip-in-eclipse-on-ubuntu-12-04/
I'll chime in here, since I have the same issue.
There is no fix for this, when running Eclipse on Unix (KDE, Gnome, etc).
The color for links, which is used in the QuickFix list as well as various other places in the UI (such as Preferences panels), is hardcoded.
On Windows, you are luckier, since Eclipse uses the native link widget, which takes its colors from system settings.
On non-Windows, you are stuck with a dark-blue hardcoded color.
What it should do, at least on GTK, is use the GtkWidget::link-color setting. But it doesn't, currently.
If you want to see it fixed, either upvode this bug or fix the code yourself:

Just to clarify, I'm not talking about making the background of the editing frame or window dark via:
local G = ...
styles = G.loadfile('cfg/tomorrow.lua')('Zenburn') -- theme
I'm talking about making the background of the Project frame/window, Output window, the menu bar, etc., all dark too.
Is this possible to do without using Windows's high-contrast theme for everything?
Thank you.
I don't think this is possible, as it relies on wxwidgets to draw those windows and wxwidgets uses system-provided colors to draw them (without much if any user control).
I opened a wxwidgets ticket that would implement re-configuring system colors, but there hasn't been much movement on it.
I'm partially color blind and this causes some usability issues when I'm interacting with software, in this case Android Studio and Intellij. The Color Themes for Intellij website has helped me a lot for customizing the text editor, but there's still one issue.
The right scrollbar on the text editor shows color coded information about the location of errors, warnings and other context aware information.
It's very difficult for me to differentiate the elements of current color scheme for that bar.
Is there a way to customize it?
It seems that changing the Theme of the software doesn't affect said color scheme.
You need to check
Navigate through Setting --> Editor --> colors & Fonts --> General --> Errors and Warnings--> Error --> check Error Stripe mark (choose color you want) to show color code in right scroll
another way that might help you ,
Navigate to setting --> appearance --> check Adjust color of red-green deficiency (under theme)
You might want to try this theme
https://github.com/oizo/intellij-colorblind-scheme
Also in intelliJ idea, there is an option to enable color-blind mode:
Settings → Appearance & Behavior → Appearance → Adjust colors for red-green vision deficiency
I have on Linux/KDE a installed version of eclipse Mars.2. But there are strong problems with colors. So there is no different between a activated toolbar button and a inactive toolbar button. At example the "Link with editor" button of the "Project Explorer" view has exactly the same background color if the button is selected or not:
Another thing is that I cannot see if a checkbox or radio button is selected or not. It seems that the foreground color for the check/radio box selections is also identical to the background color. So there is in many configuration views no way to find out what's currently selected and wath's not. In the next screenshot at least one of the "Open mode" radio button must be selected (I assume it's "Double click" button):
Note also that the colors are only in eclipse wrong. In other (native) KDE applications I don't have these effects (at example the foreground of check boxes/radio buttons are black - like I have it expected). Also play around with the color settings in KDE "Application Appearance" has no effects ...
How can I change the colors of these stuff?
There is an Eclipse plugin that helps you import downloaded themes from the online marketplace (themes are free).
This is where you can find it: http://eclipsecolorthemes.org/
You may choose whatever eclipse theme fits your needs!
Good luch!
Ok. Found the solution for my problem on following site:
http://www.jroller.com/andyl/entry/mars_on_linux
Mars is the first eclipse version which uses GTK3 (instead of GTK2 like eclipse versions before 4.5). And on the side above Andrey Loskutov wrotes that may be also the GTK theme (widget style) can be also the problem. The Widget style "oxygen-gtk" should be extremly buggy! After changing the widget style (to now "Adwaida") the problems are gone :-)
You can change the Widget style in KDE by opening in the KDE settings: "Application Appearance" and "GTK+ Appearance".
Question
Is it at all possible to change the color of the text highlight in Eclipse console to something more visible in Manjaro Linux? Your time and help are both much appreciated.
Important notes
I am using the default GTK theme. I do not want to use a different theme.
For testing, I have tried using a different theme, but that didn't help.
Problem
Currently, I am stuck with a barely visible light grey text selection in Eclipse console in the following two scenarios:
When manually selecting text
When using the Find\Replace... search function
Supporting screenshots
Manual mouse text selection:
Find/Replace... selection:
Looking into and changing these settings did not help:
I once ran into the same problem and used the gnome-color-chooser to resolve this issue.
You have to change property selected_bg_color value in your current GTK theme gtkrc file. I am using Ambiance theme.
So my setting are:
cat /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc | more
gtk-color-scheme = "base_color:#ffffff\nfg_color:#4c4c4c\ntooltip_fg_color:#000000\nselected_bg_color:#f07746\nselected_fg_color:#FFFFFF\ntext_color:#3C3C3C\nbg_color:#F2F1F
0\ntooltip_bg_color:#f5f5c5\nlink_color:#DD4814"

so I want to make eclipse to look a little more "compact", this, referring to the toolbar thickness. I've changed the tabs width and font size following the instructions here: Eclipse Luna UI rendering in Linux
I'd like to know if there's a way to change also that "gap" on the toolbars so I can get a little more space.
Here's a SS of my eclipse running: http://www.subeimagenes.com/img/ss-1138171.png
and I want to remove or reduce that gap I'm putting on red, any help/comment would be nice.
Thanks in advance!
Since eclipse 4.x you can modify the look and fill of controls and workspaces using CSS. See this Eclipse 4 CSS Styling- Tutorial it should help.
