I am using Eclipse on Ubuntu. I'm theming with the DevStyle plugin, using Dark Custom. The theme works really well, but there is just this big white bar on the top of the screen under the menu bar, that appears when I tile the editor top/ bottom or left/right.
If have tried to theme the window in General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts and the editor tab, but there seems to be no option.
The maximize and minimize buttons from the side panel also have this annoying white background.
The bars look really ugly and out of place, and make me angry every time I look at them :-) .
Anyone has an idea of how to theme the background? Is it even possible?

EDITED
It seems that there has been an improvement, probably due to updates. The white bar changed into two white squares in the corners.
This only happens with DevStyle.
I am on a Dell Laptop and using Ubuntu Budgie 19.04. I don't use any accessibility setting.

When I move the cursor over an annotation, for example, it opens a window with a black background but also the text is black and therefore it’s not visible, so every time I have to highlight the text to read it and it is uncomfortable ...
I'm sure there is a setting somewhere but I haven't found it.
See the picture below
A good solution is Help -> Eclipse Marketplace -> search "Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle" and install the plugin. (Currently is the most popular plugin so you can find it by going to the tab "Popular").
I am using Elementary OS, based on Ubuntu 12.04 and Eclipse Luna.
The background color of javadoc popups is black and font color is dark grey, so it is unreadable.
I tried to change background in eclipse preferences, but it did not change.
Then I used google, and found solution, that I need to change tooltip bg color. So I did it. But still no change.
Anyone knows how to change that color ?
I had the same problem with Ubuntu 16.04 and Eclipse Mars. I solved the problem by adding the following lines in eclipse.ini :
--launcher.GTK_version

As a KDE user, you have to change the tooltip background color with System Settings. Navigate to
Application Apperearence -> Colors (Left side menu) -> Colors (Colors tab on right side)
and adjust the Tooltip Background and Tooltip Text colors. In your case, adjusting the tooltip background should be enough.
The setting is under GNOME UBUNTU in Settings.
I would get a blank assist popup window and if I clicked on the window it would turn black and not show any text.
I tried many things to get the text to show up like changing the eclipse foreground and back ground colors or the above system settings.
I then started to look at the VcXsrv X server program I was running to display on my windows box.
I turned off the 'Native opengl' in the 'Extra Settings' screen of the XLaunch program.
This fixed my problem.
Since upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10, one of the things that's been annoying me is the background color of the left margin of the Eclipse Java editor window. It's pretty much white, which makes it difficult to see where the actual left edge of the editor window ends and the margin begins. Screenshot:
I've looked through all the Eclipse color settings and also all the "Gnome Color Chooser" settings and I don't see where I would change this. Any ideas?
Thanks!
You will want to go to Windows->Preferences->General->Editors->Text Editors and find the section called Appearance color options. You will want to change the Selection background color. This will also change the background of the main document, but this will make where one section begins and ends well defined. You can experiment with these settings and the settings under Java->Editor until you get the color scheme you want.
At least on Windows 7, it looks like the title bar color may have been changed to blue. However, the title bar icons were designed only to be used on a light gray bar rather than using alpha transparency for antialiasing. Note the white highlights around the edge of the green circle "run" icon.
The icons look horrendous, like we're in 1995. Is this how it appears on other Windows 7 user's installations as well? I noticed there's theming, and the closest I can find to something that works is the olive theme. I can't find a toolbar color in the Appearance/colors and fonts preferences though. Is there any way to revert the title bar back to the old color or replace the icons with correctly designed ones?
In the meantime, I filed an Eclipse bug for this.
Either select the classic theme under Appearance (and restart!) to go back to the 3.x look or install the Eclipse 4 Chrome theme, which can be tuned to your personal preferences in detail.
I am using Eclipse 3.5 IDE on Fedora linux. Too much white or light gray color is hurtful to my eyes. I managed to change the background of editor and console window to black but nothing else so I am still seeing 30 to 40% space as not black. How do I change the background color of package explorer?
If not possible then how to hack into eclipse source code or config files somewhere to do that and also to change all UI panels color to black from the current light grey and text to some other color from black?
Much of the appearance of Eclipse is controlled by the GTK+ theme. You can edit the current theme or try different themes out. The "Nokoka-Midnight" theme, for instance, is almost entirely black. I like a program called gtk-chtheme to switch them.

To change only editor without affecting the entire IDE you can try two approaches:
http://www.eclipsecolorthemes.org/
Go to Windows>Preferences>General>Editors>Text Editors and Java>Editor>Syntax Colouring and edit the colors there.
