Please can someone help me figure out how to remove the dam yellow highlighting from the brackets in NetBeans and how to change the cursor color. I've tried changing the cursor color but it stays white when I edit it!
I went to Tools --> Options --> Highlighting --> Caret Color and it has no effect at all.

I would like to remove red dot breakpoint. I don't need that feature and It is showing if I accidentally hover on line number. So, can I completely remove that red dot on hover on line number?
I'm using Retta color theme in eclipse. The problem is when I hover with the mouse over the warning or error symbols, it gives me a white background and I can't see a thing.
Highlighted text
Where I can change that? I've already tried going to General>Editors>Text Editors>Annotations, but changing the options there didn't solve the problem (like making Text as Underline and so on). The problem only occurs when I hover the mouse over the warning/error symbol.
First you should over the word with the highlighted background and then proceed to right click, then go to Preferences > Appearance color options
Then you should be able to adjust the colors to your liking.
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.

Is it possible to make Eclipse's code-folding gutter black?
The white line was invisible on default color scheme but when I applied different color scheme it appeared ..
The white line contains code folding buttons also ..
Taken from this thread:
"After you change the background color of the editor, disable then
re-enable code folding and click apply this seems to fix the color
problem however keeps that ugly white line separator."
or
"First disable folding by default (preferences->C++->Editor->Folding)
for new editors.
Then, whenever you open a new editor the folding 'column' wont be
available.
Now, open a new editor, rt-click on the far left of the text (the line
numbers if they're enabled) and select 'enable folding' (or press ctrl
+ numpad-divide).
Then, anything that is to be folded by default will be folded and the
folding +'s and -'s will be available on the dark background - no
colour glitches".
Does anybody know how to set the background color of matching brackets to yellow instead of using a grey outline? I want to do this to be consistent with NetBeans IDE and EditPad Pro.
Go to the Window menu, Preferences option, the select the language you want to change it for in the left column (e.g. C/C++, Java, etc), then choose Editor, and select the top option of the middle frame, change to whatever color you want.
The answers listed ( Window > Preferences > Java > Editor ) are accurate for the question. But if your goal is to find ways to visually see everything inside of braces, here are a couple of more ways you can do this:
Move cursor to the opposite brace: Ctrl-Shift-P moves the cursor to the opposite brace
If you start somewhere in the middle of a section, this will toggle among three points, the beginning brace and the ending brace and where the cursor started. This works for parentheses also.
Highlight the contents of the braces: double click just to the right of the open, or left of the closing brace. The area is highlighted. At this point you can also copy to the clipboard.
I'm using Eclipse Version: 3.4.0 (Ganymede). I went to Window > Preferences > Java > Editor
I changed the 'Matching brackets highlight' to yellow, but it only changed the color of the outline, not the background. It's hard to see just that yellow outline on a white background. Looking at these options though, I don't see how it would be possible to get the highlight you're looking for.
Check the image where you need to change "Selection background color" and "Selection Foreground color" to highlight the background of the selected code.
