I have Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers on Windows 8.1. I installed Darkest Dark theme from the Marketplace, but it does not work. Upon restart, Eclipse starts with my previous theme and Darkest Dark does not even appear in Preferences window. However, when I open Marketplace again and search for it, it shows as installed. I searched but did not find an answer to this exact problem.
Any help?
Answering my question in case someone else has the same problem.
After e-mailing Genuitec support, it turned out the problem was a permissions issue.
So I uninstalled Darkest Dark, opened Eclipse as administrator, installed it again and now it works.

Problem with dark classic theme in Eclipse 2020-12 (4.18) for C/C++. Menu have all black color:
Top panel has the same problem:
That's a bug of Eclipse TMF which is contained by default in the
Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers and the
Eclipse IDE for Embedded C/C++ Developers
in Eclipse 2020-12 (4.18) that has already been fixed:
Eclipse bug 569790 - [dark] Dark mode issue when Trace Compass is installed
Unfortunately, this bug was detected and fixed only shortly after the 2020-12 release. So I created the following (unofficial) update site that can be used to get the patched Eclipse TMF (via Help > Install New Software...):
https://howlger.github.io/Dark-Theme-Fix-for-Eclipse-2020-12-with-TMF/update
Update: the official update site has been published in the meantime:
https://download.eclipse.org/tracecompass/stable/repository/
Alternatively, you can use another dark theme instead of the built-in dark theme, such as one of the following (do not use the Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle since it might slow down Eclipse and can cause issues):
Eclipse Spectrum Dark Theme
Planet Themes
Please note, a dark theme is a bit more stressful for your eyes compared to a light theme (the human eye can adapt well to dark, but works best with more light).

installed eclipse STS 4.7. then installed dev style plugin from marketplace. Set it to dark mode with intelliJ dark theme. Now I can't see the side arrows.
STS 4.7 is based on Eclipse 2020-06 and there are known issues with Dark themes in this version of Eclipse. The good news is that we already have a fix for it in DevStyle. The update will be available early next week but you can try a patch and see if the fix will work for you. To try it you can follow the instructions in my last comment here
I have recently switched Eclipse workbench and installed again the MoonRise UI Theme for my Eclipse.
Unfortunately I don't know why font colors don't change. Can anyone help me?
Running Eclipse Mars
How it should be:
How it is:
I hope you would have got the answer by now.
To get the fonts one must change the preference. There is an existing preference available by name RainbowDrops.epf. You can import the same to get a dark theme look.
A complete tutorial along with the RainbowDrops.epf file is available in the below link.

I just started using Aptana and I'm enjoying it. I like the dark theme that comes on default.
There's just one thing. Notice how the editors are nice and dark, but the UI is not? Obviously, Aptana is Eclipse based, so I've been browsing around the net for dark themes for Eclipse's UI.
I found this question with a suitable answer: Eclipse IDE for Java - Full Dark Theme
When I try to install one of the themes suggested, I get an error:
Missing requirement: Eclipse Darker Theme 1.0.0.201302081116
(eclipse.themes.darker.feature.feature.group 1.0.0.201302081116)
requires org.eclipse.osgi.services 3.3.100' but it could not be found
Of course, I could just install the dependency, but I have no idea where to look.
I just want my Aptana to be dark, entirely. What must I do?
I just ran into a similar issue a couple hours ago with a Magento plugin I wanted to install.
In Aptana, click the "Install new software..." item under the Help menu. Then you'll want to add in the repository url for one the eclipse releases. Juno seems to be the most recent release.
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno/
Then use type osgi into the filter to see what's available. I would guess the one that isn't "incubating" is your best bet.
cheers
When I became aware of Sublime, I noticed the benefits of dark themes to your workspace. But since Sublime doesn't have support for Grails at the moment, I search for ways to theme STS or SpringSource Tool Suite and I reached to this article. I tried the plugin and it worked well. Unfortunately, only the Editor area was change by the plugin.
The question is how I change the Color and Fonts of the whole STS or Eclipse?
Go to Windows->Preferences->General->Appearance->Select the theme you want.
download the plugin here : http://eclipsecolorthemes.org/?view=plugin
If you are on Eclipse 3.6 (Helios), the easiest way to install the plugin is from the Eclipse Marketplace. Go to Help→Eclipse Marketplace..., then search for Eclipse Color Theme and install it.
If you are on Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo), go to Help→Install New Software..., press Add Site and enter Eclipse Color Theme as the name and http://eclipse-color-theme.github.com/update as the URL. Then select the new entry from the select box labeled Work with, mark Eclipse Color Theme for installation and proceed.
Please note: If you are using a version of the plugin lower than 0.6, please uninstall and reinstall it following the instructions above. Update site and plugin ID have changed.
Usage
After the installation, go to Window→Preferences→General→Appereance→Color Theme to change the color theme.
If you use the current STS milestone (STS 3.0.0), then it is possible, because the underlying Eclipse 4 is now completely themeable. There are already some themes available, however you should consider them beta.
Here is a place to pick a color theme for your editing window:
