VSCode - Change Menu Transition Property - visual-studio-code

I am using "Solarized Dark" theme. It is flashing light when changing menu. You can get the idea by the screenshot. It is more flashy & frequent than seen on the screenshot (intensity could not be captured properly).
Is there any menu transition property where I can set something soothing color other than that flashy white?

Go to your user settings first
Then search for window.titlebar and find Window: Title Bar Style and check whether is it is set to native or custom. Try changing it to custom if it is set to native and see if that works!
Don't forget to restart the vscode!

Vs Code tabbar design (Default drop shadow)

I was trying to customize my vs code theme but did not get any option to disable the drop shadow of the tab bar of the VS Code.

VSCode - Change the background color of active item in explorer

I wanted to change the background color of the selected file in explorer in VS code and I found this setting list.activeSelectionBackground which you can see in the picture actually worked.
But the problem is that it only works when I click on the file explicitly but it doesn't when I switch to a different file using Alt+tab, then it looses the background color even when actually the file is selected in explorer.
After Alt+tab it starts showing the selection background like this, which is the default way
I tried some other settings like list.inactiveFocusBackground and list.focusBackground but they didn't work.
Any idea?
It looks like you want
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"list.inactiveSelectionBackground": "#fff",
"list.activeSelectionBackground": "#fff"
}
Just set them to the same thing so whether that Explorer item selection is active or not it will appear the same.

How to change the vscode status bar colour back to its default colour?

As you can see the colour of status bar and the title bar has turned to Reddish-Brown.
I haven't made any changes and it automatically got changed.
How to I bring it back to its DEFAULT MODE.
My settings.json file
Go to Preferences -> Color Theme and select one of the standard VS code themes (Dark, Dark+, Light, Light+).
Maybe you have the Window Colors extension installed? If so, try disabling it.
Are you using a workspace? If so, maybe there is a .vscode/settings.json file in the workspace containing the color settings?

How to make Eclipse's tab's background color changed when use dark theme?

I am trying to make my Eclipse cooler like IntelliJ's darcular theme. Everything is fine now except the tab's background's color. It's white and I can't see the words clearly.
Just like the picture below.
Oh, I don't know why it can be seen in the screenshot.
But what I want like this:
By TWiStErRob's comment I found where to change it for me, which also had bright tabs when switching to dark theme.
Below the steps how I changed my tabs:
Go in the top menu to window, then preferences.
Then drill down to General > Appearance > colors and fonts
There is a list with multiple background begin, background end options. If you select an option you can use the edit button to change the color.
Default you only get the basic colors. By clicking the *Define Custom Colors >>** button you can use a color picker or the hex/hsl editor fields to enter your own preferred colors. I changed them all (all the background begin/background end options) from their bright colors to darker colors.
The end result.
Thanks to TWiStErRob for giving the pointer where to find the setting.

Change 'fixes' background color in eclipse

I've been trying to change the background color for the 'quick-fixes' pop-up (the pop up that lists ways to fix an error) in eclipse juno. Currently the color is black and the text is blue which makes it very hard to read.
I cant find the correct way to change the color. Please help. Its really annoying to squint and have to read blue text on a black background.
This was driving me nuts as well, here is the fix.
Go to preferences.
Search for "Annotations"
for each Annotation Type:
if "Text as" == "Highlighted" and Color == black:
Set the color to light or uncheck "Text As"
In this screen shot, I am fixing Occurrences.
The problem I show to the left is the "Matching Tags" annotation which had the same problem.
You can change the color of the text in the pop-up.
In windows you can go Control Panel, search for colors and metrics and then select Change window colors and metrics. In the item menu select Hyperlinks and change the Color.
EDIT: This fix is valid for Windows 7. Windows 10 does not have the option to change Hyperlinks color.
Right Click anywhere in the Editor Window, and at the bottom of the context menu select Preferences. This will bring you into Java -> Editor. At the bottom ofthat window select the element colors you wish to change, in your case Parameter hints background and Parameter hints background or Completion overview background and Completion overview foreground, depending on which one it is you are having a problem with.
From what I found, I do not think you can change the color. I am not willing to go to Eclipse source code and find it but here's what fixed it for me. Not perfectly but to a level I can use the quick fix. In my case, the background and foreground was same. (Luna, Dark Theme, Using Solarized Editor Theme).
Go into the Preferences (Window -> Preferences)
Choose General -> Appearance from the left menu
Uncheck the checkbox Use mixed fonts and colours for labels
