Why is the Visual Studio Code native-mode menu dropdown white, even though I have dark mode activated and I use Fedora Linux and the dark mode is activated in Fedora, yet it is white? What is the solution as shown in the picture?
I don't try anything because I can't know the problem.
I'm not sure why the native title bar mode is showing up for you with light mode colouring. Supposedly, you can switch to dark mode on the GNOME desktop environment with the following:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Adwaita-dark
(or whatever other dark mode theme is available on your machine)
But if that doesn't work, you can get colouring consistent with your selected colour theme in VS Code by putting this in your settings.json:
"window.titleBarStyle": "custom",
The description for that setting:
Adjust the appearance of the window title bar. On Linux and Windows, this setting also affects the application and context menu appearances. Changes require a full restart to apply.

With older, color challenged eyes I find it hard to read the small, white font used in tool-tips against the tool-tip's grey background.
I am looking for the name of the settings which controls the font color and the background color. Also, where are said settings stored, i.e. what is the fully qualified filename? I'm working with both Windows and Linux (Win11, Win10, Ubuntu, and Raspberry Pi OS).
If this is what you want!
Add these to your setting.json
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"editorHoverWidget.background": "#B98389"
},
How did I found it?
Open setting.json.
Go inside "workben.colorCustomizations" block.
Type "hover" and read the suggestions.

I'm new to using Eclipse and programming softwares in general, so more thorough explanations would be appreciated!
How do I change the text back to a dark color to read it, and is it possible to make the background grey and keep the text white?
Depending on the Eclipse version you are using, Dark theme may differ:
Under Eclipse Bar Menu Window, select Preferences
From the Preferences Window, Select General -> Appearance
From the drop down Theme, select one of the available "Dark" themes
You could also click here on the Restore Default button to revert all changes you have tried then Click on Apply button
Must restart Eclipse to be effective.

I had the same issue of having light background and light text in the menu dropdowns.
Fixed by cycling the Windows theme from custom to "Windows" then back to a dark these. This was done in Personalization -> Themes in Windows 10. Now, the dropdowns are dark with legible text.
I'm running VS Code on Win 7 with aero off and the Win 7 "Basic" theme. I'm using the VS light theme on VSCode. This means that editor windows and such have a white background. Apps that obey the Win 7 theme has a boundary around them to delineate where the window ends. VSCode doesn't appear to obey this -
Notice how the window just bleeds into the window behind it. I find this visually disorienting. Yes, a different theme with a dark background would solve this, but I have a strong preference for dark text on a light (white) background.
Is there any way to force VSCode to use the Win 7 windows layout?
VSCode will use the OS standard window decorations, including window frame borders, if you set the "Window: Title Bar Style" setting to "native". (It affects more than just the title bar.)
Please see image for high lighted color to change. Here is the highlight
Unfortunately that appears to be a color setting which cannot be changed within Eclipse.
On Windows 10 it definitely uses the operating system default for Selected Text (which for me is blue), but you can change it through the Personalize settings for Windows. I verified this, but obviously that will impact all your applications, not just the Eclipse Console, so it's not a very good option.
I don't know things works on Linux or Mac, but I assume there is a similar approach available.
Notes:
You can easily change other color settings for the Eclipse Console. Just right click anywhere within the Console window and select Preferences... from the context menu. Then click on any of the colors shown (e.g. "Background color") to change it. Note that there is no option offered for changing the background color of selected text.
I also tried changing the Theme for Eclipse but the background color for selected text in the Console always remained the same as the Windows default regardless of the theme chosen. (I don't know of any technical reason why this setting in the Console cannot be customized though - perhaps someone else can explain?)
I have dark eclipse theme (Moonrise) and also dark theme for native widgets set in KDE. The problem is that dar blue hyperlink are not very legible so I would like them to be of different color. In the picture there is not that dark theme used, but with darker colors the link cannot be read.
Even thoughtI was setting the hyperlink color in every possible settings menu I could think of, I have not been able to set eclipse hyperlink color. It seems that Eclipse ignored the Appearance -> Colors and fonts settings.
It would make somehow sense if the native GUI settings would be to have dark blue hyperlink color. But I cannot see, that this would be the case in Application Appearance -> Colors section.
Is there a way to change the color of hyperlink? Why is it still dark blue? I am not interested in settings the tooltip background as is often suggested in this case- I have already set it to lighter color so the hyperlinks are readable.
Go to Window > Preferences and change the current theme restart eclipse. Refer picture below.
Install eclipse colour theme plugin then you will get lots of options to change the theme. See here.
Note that in different themes the colour of active and visited link will be different.
