Then on the Appearance color options you can change the "Selection background color"

when using eclipse Dark Theme, some tab is very difficult to see its content as it show all white as below (the red highlighted), any method to prevent it?
These colors can be configured and are not the default colors of the dark theme. This misconfiguration could have been done manually or happened by installing or using a third-party plug-in.
You can see if it is a misconfiguration by switching to a new workspace without copying the settings.
In this case, go to Window > Preferences: General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts edit the color in View and Editor Folders or hit Restore Defaults.
go to Window > Preferences > Appearance
-there you can select dark background
-click on "Apply and Close"
now to get the tabs working go to Window > Preferences > Appearance > Colors and Fonts
edit the following and set to color black
-Active (no focus), selected part foreground
-Active selected part foreground
-Inactive, selective part foreground
-click on "Apply and Close"
I changed the theme of my Eclipse and now when hovering a method/anything the background of the container is black, and nothing cant be read about the method.
Check this :
In Window > Preferences: General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts change the color Basic > Information background color.
I am using Pydev / Eclipse with dark theme.
how can I change the selection color? Here's an screenshot showing a part that is selected and is highlighted with a color that is too bright and makes the foreground not readable:
I followed settings of appearance color options in General > Editors > Text Editors as well as General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations, but I couldn't find any option for changing that bright blueish color.
Here's an image showing my current setting (as you can see, the background selection color is set as a color that is totally different from this light blue color).
You have to restart your Eclipse first to see that 'selection background color' changed for python files.
The best answer to this is found here, Which inherits from General > Editors > Text Editors. There is also General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations, which is where I found "Breakpoints (PyDev) which had the color I was finding offensive to my eyes.
Happy Hunting!
Short answer:
Preferences > PyDev > Editor.
How do I change the text cursor color in the Eclipse IDE for Windows?
I want to change only the color of the cursor, but I can`t find an option to do this. Is it possible? If so, how?
You can find these settings in:
Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editor -> Text Editors: Appearance color options
AND
Window -> Preferences -> General -> Appearance-> Colors and Fonts: in the Basic Folder
I couldn't find one just for the cursor when using Eclipse for PHP, but you might try changing the current line color to be a bit lighter/darker if you are having trouble seeing the cursor (ref: How to change the color of current line & text selection in eclipse (for Java)?, Cursor color in Eclipse 3.5/Zend Studio 7 on Mac OS X.)
I can help you here.
Its not in control of Eclipse, its the mouse's property.
Navigate to Control Panel-> Select "Large Icons" from top right drop down->Mouse->Pointers->Text Select->Browse->Select an appropriate black thick pointer.
Thanks
Cursor color is implicitly changed when you set
Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editor -> TextEditors Current Line Highlight
Until today there is no way to set it independently (Eclipse Neon.1)
If you want a black background color like me, set this one with a custom RGB 30, 30, 30, and Current Line highlight BLACK (the cursor while turn White)
This is a late reply. I am having the same problem and couldn't find anyway to fix it in eclipse.
Turns out that I can change the text selection icon in the Window setting. Search for Mouse properties and change the text selection to beam_i.cur. It gives me a much better contrast!
FYI, my system is win10.
Duffy356's answer is correct, but incomplete: the selection background color under the appearance color options appears to be the cursor color from my experience.
Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editor -> TextEditors: Change Line number foreground under Appearance color options
In Eclipse, you get a yellow sticky note-esque info box when hovering over code.
Since I changed my syntax highlighting to be a dark theme, light colored code does not read on this yellow stick note.
Where is the preference for this color located? Eclipse's scattering of color preferences everywhere is extremely hard to use!
I assume you are using C/C++.
Go to Preferences -> C/C++ -> Editor
In "Appearance color options", scroll down to "Source hover background", Uncheck "System Default", select a color from the color palette.
By the way, do you know how to change the hover box size?
