If I open a text file which doesn't have a specific editor (such as Java or C/C++) in Eclipse how can I change the font and color of the text?
The font can be changed using the Colors and Fonts page in the preferences dialog. Go to Project->Preference->General->Appearanc->Colors and Fonts. Open Basic and select Text Font and click Edit...
To change the text color you need to go to a different page of the preferences dialog, Project->Preference->General->Editors->Text Editors and modify the Appearance color options for Foreground and Background color

Well I found the solution. The highlight color is applyed system wide so I had to change the color theme of Gnome GTK Theme with Gnome Tweak tool.
I have a problem with netbeans. Somehow the font color changed to white on a white background. I am stuck and can't find anything.
I can only check by clicking on the option as the selection becomes blue and white can be seen on it.

In Eclipse 4.2 on Windows 7, in the search results tab, the selected search result has an unpleasant light color that makes it hard to read the text under it:
I have not been able to locate where this color is. Any ideas?
Try changing your Themes & Appearance settings.
Go to Windows > Preferences > General > Appearance
You will get options for Color themes, and label decorations.
you can download more themes from eclipse theme plugin
Its operating system's default selection color, you cannot change that thro' eclipse. Although if you select a light color theme, you will get black or dark color text and you will be able to see the text more clearly over this light blue background. or you can manually choose dark shades of colors for text.
I am using a dark theme for eclipse. When I open a file with .txt extension, the color of the text is black, as well as the background. How can I change the appearence of this .txt file editor? I want to set the text color to white. I am confused by the preferences menu.
I have found it. In the preferences Menu select
General>Appearance>Editors>TextEditors in the Box named Appearance color options
select the item Foreground color,
unmark the checkbox System Default and change the color to the desired color.
